What happens when a glow plug fails?

Glow plugs help to provide the additional heat in the combustion chamber. If the required temperature is not reached due to faulty glow plugs, the engine's performance will be weakened, and it will have to work extra hard to meet the demands of the road. The vehicle's fuel efficiency will be negatively affected.

Check the fusible link for loose wires or nuts, and if the contacts are dirty. Run a wire from the glow plug to the LED on the dashboard. If you hear a clicking and see the light go on and off, yet there is no power reaching the glow plug, you know that the relay is faulty.

What does a glow plug control module do?

The glow plug control unit keeps the glow plugs on for a while after the engine starts to ensure optimal combustion of the fuel and lower emissions.
