Diagnostic Trouble Codes
J1939 Code CDL Code Code Description
(code descriptions may vary) Comments
676-5 2246-5 Engine Glow Plug Relay : Current Below Normal The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects the following conditions:
The engine is not cranking.
The ECM has been powered for at least one second.
There is a low current condition (open circuit) in the glow plug start aid relay circuit for more than 2 seconds.
If equipped, the warning light will come on. The diagnostic code will be logged. An ECM that was previously blank will require a total of 2 hours of operation before the diagnostic code will be logged.
The ECM is unable to activate the relay for the glow plug starting aid. The glow plugs will not operate. The engine may be difficult to start in cold temperatures and the exhaust may emit white smoke.
676-6 2246-6 Engine Glow Plug Relay : Current Above Normal The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects the following conditions:
The engine is not cranking.
The ECM has been powered for at least one second.
There is a high current condition (short circuit) in the glow plug start aid relay circuit for more than 2 seconds.
If equipped, the warning light will come on. The diagnostic code will be logged. An ECM that was previously blank will require a total of 2 hours of operation before the diagnostic code will be logged.
The ECM is unable to activate the relay for the glow plug starting aid. The glow plugs will not operate or the glow plugs will operate all the time. The engine may be difficult to start in cold temperatures and the exhaust may emit white smoke.
Follow the troubleshooting procedure to identify the root cause of the fault. The following background information is related to this procedure:The starting aid is used to improve the engine starting when the engine is cold. With the keyswitch in the ON position, the ECM monitors the following parameters to decide if the glow plugs need to be switched ON:
Coolant temperature
Intake manifold air temperatureIf the glow plugs are required, then the ECM will activate the starting aid relay for a controlled period. While the glow plug start aid relay is activated, the glow plug start aid relay will supply power to the glow plugs. If a "Wait To Start" lamp is installed, then this lamp will be illuminated to indicate the "Wait To Start" period."Wait to Start Lamp"This feature may be included as an option.When glow plugs need to be activated prior to starting, a lamp will indicate that the operator needs to "Wait to Start". Starting aids may be used during the cranking of the engine. Starting aids may be used if the engine has previously been started. The "Wait to Start" lamp will not be active in these conditions.Electronic Service Tool Test AidThe electronic service tool includes the test "Glow Plug Start Aid Override Test". This test will assist the analysis of the cold starting aid.Overview of the Glow Plug Start Aid Override TestThis glow plug start aid override test switches on the cold starting aid when the engine is not running. The glow plug start aid override test aids the analysis of the circuit for the glow plug start aid relay.

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Inspect Electrical Connectors and Wiring
A. Check that the fuses are not blown.
B. Inspect the terminals on the glow plug start aid relay and then inspect the connector on the flying lead from the relay. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for details.
C. Inspect the bus bar for the glow plugs. Ensure that the nuts that secure the bus bar to each glow plug are tightened to a torque of 2 N m (17 lb in). Ensure that the bus bar is not shorted to the engine.
D. Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires in the ECM connector that are associated with the glow plug starting aid.
E. Check the screw for the ECM connector for the correct torque of 5 N m (44 lb in).
F. Check the harness for abrasion and pinch points from the glow plugs back to the ECM.
Loose connection or damaged wire
Result: There is a fault in a connector or the wiring.
Result: Repair any faulty connectors or replace the wiring harness. Ensure that all the seals are properly in place and ensure that the connectors are correctly coupled.
Use the electronic service tool to clear all logged diagnostic codes and verify that the repair eliminates the fault.
Result: All connectors, pins, and sockets are correctly coupled and/or inserted. The harness is free of corrosion, abrasion, and pinch points. The fuses are not blown. The bus bar is secured to the glow plugs and not shorted to ground.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
2. Check for Active Diagnostic Codes
A. Connect the electronic service tool to the diagnostic connector.
B.
