Glow Plug 101

Does anyone have the test procedures to check out the Engine Oil Temperature sensor? After reading on the system, if this sensor is stuck on a reading above 55' C, then the PCM won't provide a ground to the GPR. And yes, I'm going to beat this mule till we cross the finish line! Oh... and Happy Holidays and here's wish'n you receive some PSD gifts under the tree.

Good thinking, Roaky! Could be.

Sorry I don't know the answer to the question on checkout procedures, but your logic is good.

Wouldn't it be easier just to test to see if the PCM is providing ground for the GPR first?

I don't know if this helps or not, but it will give you the location to the plug and a brief description. http://www .nav-international.com.br/frame_master.asp?tipo=powerStroke&pg=manual_i/powerStroke/hs.asp

I'm not getting a ground from the PCM at the gpr. I have yet to get under the dash and check the pin out on the pcm. I'll post another topic if I find out anything.
