Will a no start problem show a code?

I'm pretty sure its the batteries, it will crank, but the voltmeter drops WAY down when I crank it. Just wondering, if its something else like a glow plug relay, would it throw a code? I checked and there were no codes found w/ my predator. The tach does move so I assume its not the cps. Am on the way to Wallyworld to get two batteries as soon as I can get my wife's explorer away from my daughter.thank goodness it happened in front of my house.

It's probably not going to throw any codes. If it's turning over slowly, I'd think you're having weak battery problems. If you turn the key on and the voltmeter drops down when you're not cranking the engine and then returns to normal after a little while, then the glow plug relay is working. Hope it helps.
