A sensor/switch mounted in the bottom of the fuel filter housing is used to detect water in the fuel. The water in fuel (WIF) sensor/switch has an indicator control circuit and a low reference circuit. The engine control module (ECM) monitors the voltage to the WIF sensor/switch. If the voltage is incorrect, the ECM will illuminate the WIF lamp and set the appropriate DTC.
• | The engine is running. |
• | The diagnostic runs continuously. |
• | The engine is running. |
• | The WIF sensor/switch voltage is less than 0.20 volt for more than 60 seconds. |
DTC P2269 is Type C DTC.
DTC P2269 is Type C DTC.
• | If DTC P2269 sets intermittently, fuel contamination may be the cause. Refer to Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis. |
• | On vehicle with a WIF float switch, a sticking float may illuminate the WIF lamp and set this DTC. |
If any DTCs other than P2269 are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle.
Important: The WIF lamp should be illuminated with this DTC. If the WIF lamp is not illuminated, refer to Water-in-Fuel Lamp Inoperative.
⇒ | If this DTC resets, test for fuel contamination. Refer to Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
