Monitor the scan tool for at least two minutes.
With the scan tool, select View DTCs.

Is the status Active for this DTC?

Yes

Go To 2

No

Refer to the *CHECKING FOR AN INTERMITTENT DTC Diagnostic Procedure. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)

2. (F344) FUSED ASD RELAY OUTPUT 2 CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE

Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Glow Plug Module harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Using a 12 volt test light connected to ground, check the (F344) Fused ASD Relay Output 2 circuit in the Glow Plug Module harness connector.

NOTE: The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

Is the test light illuminated and bright?

Yes

Go to 3

No

Repair the (F344) Fused ASD Relay Output 2 circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

3. (Z906) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE

Turn the ignition off.
Using a 12 volt test light connected to B+, check the (Z906) Ground circuit in the Glow Plug Module harness connector.

NOTE: The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

Is the test light illuminated and bright?

Yes

Go to 4

No

Repair the (Z906) Ground circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

4. (A29) FUSED B+ CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE

Using a 12 volt test light connected to ground, check the (A29) Fused B+ circuit in the Glow Plug Module harness connector.

NOTE: The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

Is the test light illuminated and bright?

Yes

Go to 5

No

Repair the (A29) Fused B+ circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

5. GLOW PLUG MODULE
