Smile MIL light on, how to reset

Coming back from our latest trip and about 2 miles from home the mil light came on and the motor died right there on the street. Luckily four lane so as not to block traffic and we were on a side street. Found the fuel filter had cracked and we were leaking fuel, sucking air. Anyway wife ran and got us another filter while I stayed with the coach. Put on new filter, seems to run just fine now. How can I reset the MIL light? Any ideas why the fuel filter cracked? Leaving on another trip in two days. Anything to be worried about?
Thank you in advance 😁

Start/stop engine 4 times: MIL should clear if no active codes. Start/stop can be regular ops or just to clear codes. No technical foundation but I usually let it run for about 5 min.

Mother in law light? I don't think those things can be reset.

It would sure help in future posts if you included the year and model of your Tiffin.

We have a 2020 45OPP and had our fuel filter rupture causing our engine to stop while we were on the freeway luckily in the outside lane and was able to pull over safely and change it. The fleet guard fuel filter FF63009 should be installed using a 5 point 26 mm socket wrench and torqued to 28 ft lbs. Using a strap style wrench is not recommended . Ours threw a code as well as having the MIL light come on. It did clear once we started and stopped a couple of times. Some shops use cheaper brands of the fuel filter to save a buck. Poor design if you ask me having a plastic case.

Thank you all for the responses. The light did clear after a few start and stops. Never realized the fuel filter would crack like that and for no apparent reason. Luckily I was able to unhook the toad and send the wife to get one. Now I carry a spare fuel and water separator.
