P026C Hoping my solution is the solution.

[Wrangler man]

I just purchased a new to me 2021 Wrangler Sahara Ecodiesel. It came with a clean record and a Certified Preowned Warranty, it is not part of the fuel pump recall. It threw code PO26C after about 80 miles. I took it back to the dealer and they replaced the in tank pump. It threw the code again about 200 miles later (I cleared it). I found this thread and looked under the hood to see about the air filter and found it had been replaced by the previous owner with a AFE cold intake cone filter. The air filter canister and hose was replaced. Again after reading this thread I think this maybe what is causing the code. I was wondering your thoughts on this and if I should make the dealer put it back to OEM specs with the right equipment? Or ?? thank you.

Others have reported the same code after removing the OEM box and filter and later switched back to oem and the code stopped appearing. Personally I would have the dealer pay and swap it out. Just because the previous owner had changed it doesn't make it right for the dealer to resell without taking those mods off and reinstalling the OEM box and filter. I have a hunch the engineers over at Jeep would strongly agree. Your dealer miss diagnosed the tank pump so they are committed. They should finish and remedy the problem. IMO

Thank you. I reached out to the dealer this morning and it looks like they are going to do the right thing.

Anyone have any udpates on resolutions to this code? I have had it twice now and reset it both times but am trying to decide if i need to tune back to stock and get ready to take it in. Last time it took over 150 miles for it to come back on.
