is it possible to reset it ?

i know on my old scooby you just had to join two plugs , the ecu would then reset & clear all fault codes, unplug the wires and fingers crossed no more fault codes.

i will have a look to see if i can find any info on resetting the brains of an EX

from what i have just found you just disconnect the negative wire to the battery for a while.

some have said to press the brake peddle while battery is disconnected.

Your glow plug control module is bad. There is no way a whole bank of glowplugs decide to go bad at once. (although it may be possible).

If you look on the passenger side of your engine, there is a silver box with a green and black plug going into. That's where the problem lies. Go on ebay or to the Ford or International dealer and they can get you a new one.

Be advised, you'll find the same part on ebay a hell of a lot cheaper than if you went to the dealer.
