Air Filter Warning

Curious if anyone has run into this and what the possible solution might be.   I installed a K&N Cold Air Intake system a couple weeks ago, and did have any issues with warning lights, etc, until just a few days ago.   After 3 weeks of no issue, now I am getting the "check air filter" message upon start up.    When I go into the filter tab in the info display, it doesnt even give me the option to reset it.  

 

Any ideas of what to do here?

 

Thanks in advance

Check your connections.  Make sure everything is correct and secure tightly.  If you had a DTC code to share it would be more helpful.  Make sure your MAF is installed correctly, and they're are no air gaps anywhere in the line anywhere after the MAF.

Yeah, unfortunately thats my point, there is not error code or check engine light as others have experienced.   Attached is the only thing I am getting.    All looks tight and connected under the hood.

Turn the reminder off through the menus. I installed an S&B intake and it did the same thing. Just clear it and disable the warning function. I can’t remember where but it’s in a sub menu somewhere using the steering wheel

Did you unhook battery cable before installing it ?

I installed a AFE Momentum GT CAI with their dry washable filter, never disconnected the battery or anything and I haven't had a single issue going 4-4 1/2   years now.

The exact same thing happened to my 2022 GMC 6.6L. No code, so reset option. I disabled the air filter warning but I’m still worried it might actually be trying to tell me something. Will that mass air flow sensor still tell me something if it is actually crucial

MAF sensor will tell you there's a problem via a DTC.  I've been running the GM Accessories CAI for almost 5 years with the filter life monitor turned off and have had 0 issues.  I do clean my filter every 22,500 miles though (lines up with every 3rd oil change @ 7,500 miles each time).

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
