Can a Dirty Fuel Filter Cause a Check Engine Light in My Car?

Yes, a dirty fuel filter can trigger a check engine light in a car, affecting engine performance and potentially causing misfires or stalling. Modern vehicles contain sensors that check fuel delivery, and if the filter is compromised, the car's computer may alert the owner. In some cases, a dirty filter can cause low fuel pressure, triggering error codes in the engine control unit (ECU), and indicating the need for a fuel filter inspection or replacement to ensure proper flow.
