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).

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      Even tougher is the 5.0 / 302. That's what this one has.    https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   https://postimg.cc/4n3F3yzY   Just realized I had the airbox removed in the engine pic, lol.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
