Filter Life Out error?

So, one of my DL2's
Suddenly started throwing a Filter Life Out error.
The fixture does'nt have very many hours on them, 134 Lamp hours, and 257 fixture hours.
I haven't run it in heavy haze enviroments.
Also the fans seem to be running a bit faster than normal.
However it is not causing any problems, the projector stays struck, and the fixture seems to work fine.
So any ideas on what is causing this?

Also the Display doesn't seem to turn on when a error comes up.
It seems to me that when a error happens, the display should come back on.

The other problem I have been having, is the iris not closing all the way, it tends to stay a tiny bit open. The fixture seems to be having this problem more often in this version of software than in older versions. But I can't really be 100% on that.

I am running software version 1.2.0.777

Thanks!

    Ok Matt,
    Here is what I found about the iris in my 2 DL2's
    They both will lose their iris home after a short while.
    Even if they do by some odd chance home the iris correctly it does not take much to throw them off again.
    I was able to get them out of home instantly by putting them in a effect on a Hog 3
    Starting point 50% Intensity
    Sine wave
    30.5/Minute
    50% size
    0 offset
    length 100%
    In this effect both of my DL2's will "click" in the open and closed position.(Like its trying to open and close farther than the stops.)
    and after the effect, usually the iris will be still open a smidge.
    1 of my fixtures is worse than the other and never homes without a pinhole of light coming out of the iris. The other one is homes correctly around 50% of the time.
