Welcome to FTE. Here's some good reading from another post about your GPR question.

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...pr-system.html

I'm not sure of you question about control module. Could you explain further about what is or isn't happening. Others will be along soon.

Unplug the connector on the outside of the valve cover. You'll see 9 flat pins inside there. They're laid out as follows G G I I C I I G G
where
G=Glow Plug
I = Injector
C= Injector Common

Test between "I" and "C" to test the injectors, should be less than 5.0 Ohms.

To check glow plugs Test between "G" and battery ground. Should be between 0.1 and 2.0 Ohms

If you find readings that are out of spec, then yes it's time to pull the valve cover and check the connector.


(I just cut and pasted this info from Chris (F350-6)So give him some reps)
