2006 International CE300 school bus.DT466 change of fuel filter,thoroughly cleaned housing and screen. Fuel filter light is still on.
Is there a reset procedure,similar to the Trans. oil filter reset process?

if the fuel filters are good, the bowl is clean (no metal/plastic from supply pump) id log into NED and see what the fuel supply pressure is. Spec is 65 PSI.

Check the o-rings on the supply pump and FF housing, the o-rings routinely degrade and give me issues, also the fuel regulator in the bottom of the bowl might be suspect

I have also seen this with low or bouncing fuel pressure. If the filter does not fix it, it has always been the low pressure pump.

i have had this issue twice now the first time i ended up sending the bus to the dealer and $1000 later they replace the fuel pressure requlator and sensor. the second one we figured out that WIX changed the design of thier fuel filters causing the fuel pressure requlator not to get a signal WIX is reimbursing me the earlier charge and for all my old fuel filters.

I have been plagued by this problem. The fix has raged from fuel pumps, to pressure regulators, to complete housings, to nothing. I always look at fuel pressure then replace the pump and pressure regulator. I have to that have had the complete new housing, pump and still had the light and code, so i removed the dash and cut out that little light. problem solved.

Weak pumps, leaking o-rings, bad regulators in the housing, and leaking primer hand pumps are the most common causes.

Based on the original post of this thread we are talking about a 2006 IC with a DT466. So this would be a DT466EGR engine. With that being said the fuel pressure sensor that sends the signal to the ECm telling you your fuel filter is dirty is in the filter housing. The FPR (fuel pressure regulator) is inside the filter housing. You can program the ECM to not use the FPR (change fuel filter). I have found that a bad regulator will effect the fuel pressure (usually bouncing and below 50 PSI. Sensors go bad and the EOP and Fuel pressure sensor are the same part number. The wrong filter can cause issues with the regulator / pressure issue which could cause issues with the Fuel sensor. Both parts are less than $200 and can be changed in about 30 minuets along with a new filter. always clean out the fuel pre-screen / fuel heater when changing the filter. Its crazy how bad the pre-screens can get

Hey 57, On the reprogram of that optional EFP circuit in ECM, can that be done by the fleet, or does it have to be turned off by a dealer? I was looking on DLB/NED/ServiceMaxx for a on/off programmable setting and couldn't find it. I was going to try and do it myself if possible.
Thanks, Tom.
