Air Filter System Fault
I have the Air Filter System Fault in the Maintenance Monitor display. I have had it last year sometime and it went away on its own, but now it seems to be hanging around for a few months. No issues with operation of the truck, warning lights etc, just a bit annoyed that the message is there.

Any ideas on what I should check? Air filter is new.

What is your air filter restriction gauge indicating?

Air filter is new as in you just changed it? And the warning has been on ever since?

I got this error once after turning the key on to test my new LED lights but without the air box installed. There was no code set or CEL. I reset it by clearing all DTC's with Forscan.

No restrictions showing as the filter is new.

The error showed up before I swapped the filter recently, so it's not a result of the filter change.

I will give this a try and clear all codes to see what happens.

Well, I went in to clear codes and nothing was found so there was nothing to clear and the error still persists.

I really don't want to have take this the dealer so any additional input would be appreciated,

Did you run the function to clear codes? Or didn't do anything?

Since there were no codes stored, it did not allow me to clear anything.

Maybe a bad sensor? Also, you might try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes.

An APIM reset worked for someone using Forscan with your issue, not sure what trouble that may cause you.
