Coolant additive alarm

snake803 · #1 05-24-2015, 10:02 AM

My 2012 F-250 threw a " check coolant additive" notice on the info screen.
I had a friend who is shop super for a major trucking Co., check the PH and he adjusted the PH to acceptable range...
My question is: How do I clear the warning notice?????

My Google-Foo found this.
Hope it helps. Good luck.

I have replaced the sensor found near the bottom of the fill reservoir if the code will not reset. Sometimes it is easier to remove it and clean the reservoir if dirty on older vehicles. The dealership should repair for free.

Thanks Hillbilly77,
That was just the ticket...I read the diesel manual cover to cover and not a word on the reset procedure..

Mine did the warning while under the bumper - bumper warrantee....Dealer said it wasn't covered...IT WAS MAINTENANCE... $42.50..That was the 1st time.... This time @ 44k miles I had my friend test it and it's OK but couldn't get the darned signal to clear..All is right with the world now..
Thanks,
JIM...........
