Equinox Diesel Fuel Filter Heater Error

I'm having a headache with my 2020 Chevrolet Equinox diesel. It's got about 229208 km on it. The error memory keeps throwing codes related to the fuel filter heater, and it's like the car is barely running. I'm getting reduced engine power, the engine response is terrible, and my fuel consumption has gone through the roof! Plus, the idle is super rough. I'm thinking it might be a bad connection somewhere since everything else seems okay. Anyone else run into this?

Sounds familiar. Have you checked the cable and plug connection to the fuel filter heater itself? That's a common issue.

Yeah, I had a quick look, but I'm no expert. Is there anything specific I should be looking for? Like, how do I know if the connection is really bad?

If you're not comfortable with electrics, it's best to get it checked at a workshop. Defective cable or plug connection is a likely cause, and they can diagnose it properly.

Thanks. Took your advice and brought it in. Turns out it was a dodgy connection like you said. 95€ later and she's running like new again! Appreciate the tip.
