Check the cause

  1. Test the wires leading to the glow plugs to ensure there are no breaks or bad connections.

  2. Check the glow plug relays and fuses (often located in the rear fuse box or main mounting bracket) to ensure a relay hasn't failed or a fuse hasn't blown.

  3. Test the glow plugs themselves to see if they are worn out or have an open internal circuit.

Repair steps

  1. Inspect wiring

    Inspect the wiring connections leading to the glow plugs.

  2. Remove faulty glow plugs

    If the wiring and connections are functioning properly but the code persists, remove the faulty glow plugs.

  3. Install new glow plugs

    Install new glow plugs to restore proper cold-weather starting and clear the open circuit fault.

  4. Replace relay

    If the relay is found to be defective during diagnostics, replace the glow plug relay.
