P1649-GLOW PLUG MODULE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
P1649-GLOW PLUG MODULE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.
Theory of Operation
The Glow Plug Module has the appearance of a large relay and is located next to the battery.The Glow Plug Module receives a signal from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to activate the Glow Plugs. The Glow Plug Module supplies power to the Glow Plugs and a ground path is provided through the body of the Glow Plugs. The Glow Plug Module communicates with the PCM over the (K330) Glow Plug Module Control circuit.
-
When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on and the Glow Plugs commanded on.
-
Set Condition:
The PCM receives 50 consecutive error messages from the Glow Plug Module Signal for a loss of the power supply.
Possible Causes |

| (F344) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE |
| (Z933) GLOW PLUG MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE |
| GLOW PLUG MODULE |
| POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) |
| 1. | Turn the ignition on. |
| 2. | With the scan tool, erase PCM DTCs. |
| 3. | Perform several engine run cycles, turning the ignition off for at least 20 seconds between each engine run cycle. |
| 4. | Turn the ignition on and wait at least 90 seconds. |
| 5. | With the scan tool, read PCM DTCs. |
Did this DTC return?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the INTERMITTENT DTC diagnostic procedure. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).
2. CHECK THE (F344) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
| 1. | Turn the ignition off. |
| 2. | Disconnect the Glow Plug Module harness connector. |
| 3. | Turn the ignition on. |
| 4. | Using a 12-volt test light, probe the (F344) Glow Plug Module Signal circuit at the Glow Plug Module harness connector. |
Is the test light illuminated and bright?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Repair the (F344) Glow Plug Module Signal circuit for an open or high resistance.
-
Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM)
- Standard Procedure).
3. CHECK THE (Z933) GLOW PLUG MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
| 1. | Turn the ignition off. |
| 2. | Measure the resistance between ground and the (Z933) Glow Plug Module Ground circuit at the Glow Plug Module harness connector. |
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms for both measurements?
Yes
- Go To 4
No
- Repair the (Z933) Glow Plug Module Ground circuit for an open or high resistance.
-
Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM)
- Standard Procedure).
| 1. | Turn the ignition off. |
| 2. | Replace the Glow Plug Module in accordance with the service information. |
| 3. | Reconnect all connectors. |
| 4. | Turn the ignition on. |
| 5. | With the scan tool, erase PCM DTCs. |
| 6. | Perform several engine run cycles, turning the ignition off for at least 20 seconds between each engine run cycle. |
| 7. | With the scan tool, read the PCM DTCs. |
Did this DTC return?
Yes
- Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the service information.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).
No
- Test Complete.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).
