Water in Fuel Indicator
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2004 Ford RV Cutaway, 2004 Ford Pickup, 2004 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2004 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2004 Ford Excursion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The water in fuel indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster. The cluster receives electronic information from the PCM through the standard corporate protocol (SCP) communication network. If the water in fuel sensor indicates that there is water in the fuel separator/housing (located within the fuel condition module), the PCM sends an SCP message to illuminate the water in fuel indicator.
