Changed fuel filter, P1233 code

[FlipTrac_511]

After changing my fuel filter I have a CEL P1233. I'm thinking that's because prior to fuel filter change I pulled the pump fuse and ran the engine to stall. Question is, how do I clear the code? Can I just reset the battery? I don't recall if this happened the last time I changed the filter though...

I was able to clear the P1233 with my XCal.

Did you have any issues getting the metal end unhooked bc i was just trying to chage mine tuesday and trired for an hour and half with 3 different disconnect tools and trying to make uo our own tools and no luck what so ever

Well, I sprayed both ends with WD40 before I got to disconnecting. The connector towards the engine required a little more wiggling before it came off. This is my second time changing it. The first time I was having problems like you. I had to get the this metallic tool in exchange for some plastic ones that weren't doing the job. There's another thread where pics of the tool are available.

Sorry to hear you couldn't get your filter off.
