  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the glow plug control module.
  2. Measure and record the voltage between the battery positive voltage circuit terminal 1 of the X1 harness connector and ground. The voltage should be B+.
    • If voltage is not B+, repair the open or high resistance in the battery positive voltage circuit.
  3. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the GPCM.
  4. Ignition ON, measure and record the voltage between the ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal 52 and ground.
    • If voltage is not B+, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  5. Ignition ON, measure and record the voltage between the ignition 0 voltage circuit terminal 53 and ground.
    • If voltage is not B+, test the ignition 0 voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  6. If all circuits test normal, replace the GPCM.
