I would like to know what tube codes were especially if they've been there that long and now there gone. More of a curiosity thing.

 

Hey thanks

I firmly believe that cross has kept my X on four wheels and shiny side up, I don't exactly drive it like a lifted SUV nor like a saint.

 

Sorry Fordboy, tube codes? What is that?

 

Soooo, I could have sworn I updated you guys about the SES. I can't find my post so I'll do it again.

Today I was headed out to the smog place to have my Ex smogged because I had traveled over 50 but not 100 miles and the check engine light had not come back on. Of course, the minute I turned the corner, on it came. So when I got to the smog place he plugged in the code reader and it said P1396 Glow Plug Module Fault.

So what now? I don't believe my Ex is a California model but I have yet to do a visual to determine whether I have a Relay or a Module, as I understand we have one or the other. Is this a magical mystery tour type thing?

 

Sorry auto correct. That was suppose to be the codes.

As far as whether if you have a relay or module, I believe all excursions came with a glow plug control module regardless if they were a California emissions or not.

 

No such thing as a California model for 7.3L powered Excursions, they are all the same, unlike the F-series truck which does have a California emissions compliant model.

All 7.3L powered Excursions came with a GPCM, which that code is indicating you need to replace.

It's easily done, and it's located here:

Changed mine when I bought it in about 5 minutes. Easy to do.

 

Good to know. Thank you. Fordboy2 where did you buy it and for how much?

 

Since you're in SoCal and probably don't wanna wait for shipping, run over to Sunrise Ford in Fontana and grab one for $132.50, which is about the same discounted price you'd find at Tousely.

Fontana? No way. That's in BFE. I think I'll just do the online thing and get it for $94. But thank you Stewart_H!

 

I just looked. I didn't realize how far away Fontana was from Anaheim.

Where are you finding it for $94 bucks? Is it OEM or aftermarket?

Here's one. Brand New:6 0L 7 3L 6 4L Ford Powerstroke Diesel Glow Plug Control Module | eBay

I believe it's OEM.

 

Here is another, although aftermarket:Brand New Glow Plug Control Module Fits for Ford Powerstroke Diesel 1828565C1 | eBay

 

I never even thought about ebay. I haven't used that site in years since I got Amazon Prime.

It's a Dorman.
