Step 1:
When diagnosing a glow plug pressure sensor DTC, before replacing the glow plug, first check for loose
connections. You can check for any loose connections by performing a push or pull test of the connectors. If on
a push test, a click can be felt or on a pull test, the connector comes off very easily, the connection is most likely
the cause. Properly seat the connector, clear any DTCs, and test drive the vehicle. DO NOT replace the glow
plug if a loose connection is found and no faults return after test drive. If fault returns, continue to step 2.
Step 2:
A check of the glow plug can be performed by swapping the glow plug from the affected cylinder with the glow
plug from an adjacent cylinder without a fault.
Note:
Ensure when re-securing the connector that connector is fully seated.
After swapping the glow plug(s), perform a test drive of the vehicle to attempt to duplicate the DTC.
Note:
It may take two drive cycles for the MIL to illuminate.
If after swapping the glow plug, the DTC follows the glow plug, there is a faulty glow plug. Replace the glow plug.
If the DTC stays in the same cylinder after swapping the glow plug continue to step 3.
Step 3: Glow plug wiring harness and connectors should be checked.
While checking the harness you can monitor MVB 141 or in UDS equipped vehicles monitor the
Maximal_Cylinder_Pressure_Cyllinder_X values for each cylinder while manipulating the harness and
connectors, watching for changes in the readings. If the harness is found to be at fault, replace the harness.
