- It's only a matter of time before you're out on the tracks and you see the infamous "Fuel Filter Maintenance Required" message accompanied by the diesel fuel warning light.
This means the factory fuel filter is dirty and a new replacement is required to ensure sufficient flow of fuel into the engine without placing too much stress on the fuel pumps and system.
In this 5 minute service episode, I'll show you just how easy it is to change your fuel filter whether in the garage at home or out on the tracks.
I also show you how to remove those warning messages and dash lights and get back to touring in the outback.
This process will also work on the Landcrusier Prado and 76, 78 and 79 series variants.

Thanks for this mate. It would be great if you could do more of these maintenance videos, I find them really helpful.
Awesome, thanks mate, I'll keep this in mind and see if I can do a few more down the track 👍
Thanks for that, mate a small tip always disconnect your “out” fuel line (marked with pink arrow) when your priming the filter place rag under to catch fuel- this way no air in the system and starts first go.
Cheers Ant
Thanks mate, appreciate the tip! I'll give this a god next time.
Cheers 🤙
Always wondered how to do this. Thanks for showing us. I’ll go and buy a filter.😄
No problems mate, definitely an easy DIY job for sure 👍
Mate you are bloody helpful! Keep up the great vids, I will definitely thank you one day for this exact video!
Cheers mate 👍 Hope it can help down the track
Once again another awesome informative video. Just as a side note if you change out to the 200 series filter casing to the 2020 model or later casing (easy as) you can run the new upgraded filter which has a better fines sub cartridge on the bottom to catch more nasties!
Awesome mate, thanks for letting me know. I'll definitely look into this!
Cheers, Nathan.
usual disciptive, laymans language vid .. great work
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Here is the procedure used in the video. Readers can simply copy and paste from this comment. I put this and the Oil message below on paper and laminated it at a size that allowed me to slip it into the plastic sleeve on the driver's sunvisor. That way it's always handy. Toyota is very competitive with the price of the fuel filter but not so much with air and oil filters. I get mine from Filters Plus, 511 Abernethy Rd in Kewdale (WA). DYOR.
FUEL FILTER WARNING LIGHT RESET:
Step 1: Disconnect top wires/plug on filter housing.
Step 2: Turn Ignition on.
Step 3: Plug top wires/plug back in.
Step 4: Turn ignition off.
Step 5: Turn ignition back on and start engine.
Engine bay looking tidy after the Pilbara trip. Impressive.
Haha, yes... this required quite the clean and detail 🤦♂️
The fun we had in the Pilbara was well worth the effort though 🤙
Excellent video Nathan. Definitely saving this one. You never know .......
Thanks Jim, absolutely. Not a warning light you want to leave on for hundreds of kilometres to the next town 👍
I don't even own a 200, just enjoy your storey telling 👍🏻
Cheers mate, appreciate that 👍 Glad you enjoy the channel
Very useful and easy. Thanks.
Thanks mate, appreciate that 🙏
Thanks for that great explanation 👍
I see you have put the lithium starting battery back in any reviews coming up for this.
Thanks
No problems mate 👍
Yes, will be sure to do a longer term review on the Lithium starter
Cheers
Thanks!
Always appreciate Tom 🙏
This is by far the best step by step guide that disassembles only what is required. A small point, but relevant, is that the warning light reset may not involve a double tap on the push start. At least this is true for the GX version that has a key start and can't do this (what I own). I first saw a double tap mentioned on All4Advenutre's video and I think this has been spread across multiple youtube videos since then. From what I remember reset operations at least for the GX and 1VD-FTV engines is as follows:
1) With the Fuel Filter Warning Switch disconnected and the unit primed, turn on the vehicle (1x key turn or 1x push start)
2) Within 3-60 seconds connect the Fuel Filter Warning Switch
3) 3 seconds later warning message will clear from dash
Can someone confirm this is also true for push button start 200s?
Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback! 👍
I'll look into the double-press point, not 100% sure myself now as I've always used this method.
Cheers
NICE SIMPLE VIDEO WELL DONE .. I LIKE THIS TYPE OF CONTENT QUICK AND INFORMATIVE .. I THINK THE NEXT ONE SHOULD BE A ENGINE REBUILD :) :)
Nothing is a problem for Nathan Tom, he’ll have that complete engine rebuild done before lunch. Why not try to throw him a challenge dude? 🤣
@@GR8Tmate now you have me thinking .
Haha, might need one to replace that pesky starter motor after the Pilbara trip 🤦♂️ such a big job...
@@XploringOz Yeah that a pain in the backside for such a simple thing. Tom wants you to do the entire operation using surgical tweezers and a toothbrush 😂 on the edge of a track somewhere 🫣
@@GR8Tmate I will allow a magnifier
You must be an engineer out there in Kalgoorlie way, your detailed video's just spell engineer ( in a good way :)!
Haha, not quite, just like my attention to detail 😉
Cheers
Wow that is easy on a 200 series.
On the Prado you change all the filter housing including the body that the water sensor attaches to. The filter on the Prado is also approx 2.5 x more expensive.
Also, not sure about a 200 series but on the Prado there is another fuel filter between tanks. There is no monitoring or alarms on that one and it needs to be changed periodically.
Always helps to repeat the process of pressing the start button twice, let fuel pump self prime, then hand pump until firm, do this 3-4 times before starting the car. Starts first time.
Cheers mate, thanks for the tip! I'll be sure to do this next time
Short & concise. Anyone watching that, should have no problem doing it themselves 👍👍
Cheers mate, hopefully it can help a few people out 👍
If people have difficulty using the L shaped Allen key, just take the removable handle from the Toyota screwdriver and slip that over the key. It gives a much better grip.
Thanks for the tip mate 👍
Hi Nath,
Got a question for you re the Toyota diesel filter you show in the vid.
Is it possible that was an old stock unit from your spare in the drawer?
If I am not mistaken Toyota had recently updated the filter and looks a bit different.
Can you just let us know when you buy a new filter from Toyota and also if the changed the part number
Thanks mate…
Cheers
Hmm, I'll look into this for you mate. I'll have to pop down to buy another unit, however I was under the impression it was the current model 🤔
Will let you know when I find out 👍
Hi Nath,
just another thing to follow up while in Toyota parts store:
Do you run the original Toyota air filter in the Toyota plastic box?. Is there now an upgrade version seal on new filter which are fixed on the filter, bit bigger size and cannot came off during installation of the filter into the housing?
Thanks mate and happy weekend
Best regards from garden home office with 38+
Cheers
@@holgermuller2987 I'll see what I can find out.
In regards to the fuel filter, I think that the new part that you were talking about may be the specific part for the 'facelift' versions of the 200 series LC (2015+ models).
Saying this, I have been told its not hard to swap these assemblies out with the newer unit into the pre '15 models. 👍
Just pump till it's rock hard. Never had anything but a normal start.
To clear I just start with the sensors off. Start then click in. I also put some fuel on the seals. Second being the top of fuel filter.
I don't let toyota do mine the apprentice must get the job and use star bit as the keep stripping them. Even replaced one with a standard used bolt 🤬
Thanks for the tip mate, sometimes this has worked for me too. I thought it might be helpful for others, just in case it stalls out 👍
I here you mate, Toyota don't seem to have that 'gentle touch'
@@XploringOz yeah.... they be gold bolts 🔩 🤣 toyota want 13 bucks each....
@@ausguy4385 Yeah, the prices for such simple parts from Toyota never cease to amaze me!!
Another message that may appear on that little screen is "Oil Maintenance Required". This is quite rare and actually is meaningless. It can occur even straight after an oil change. Here is the procedure to get rid of the message:
OIL MAINTENANCE REQUIRED WARNING:
Step 1: with engine idling, from the ODO button above the right side of your steering wheel, you scroll to Trip "A".
Step 2: press and hold the ODO button to reset Trip A, keep holding and stop engine.
Step 3: without letting go, turn on ignition to ACC position - but DO NOT start engine, ie, foot off the brake pedal. Then press the "Start" button two times - and the system will start the reset. You can now let go of ODO button.
Step 4: it will go through reset and then say complete. Once it is complete, it will be OK to start the vehicle.
Absolutely, another feature that is often forgotten when visiting service centres!
Thanks for posting this for others to see 👍
120k car… you think it would self prime like every other new vehicle.
