DTC P1391 [WL-C, WE-C (Australian, European (L.H.D. U.K.) specs.)]
id0102c4837100
DTC P1391 |
Glow plug control circuit low input |
---|---|
DETECTION CONDITION
|
• The PCM monitors the output signal to the glow plug relay when the glow plug relay is on. If the glow plug relay voltage is less than 2 V for 1 s when the glow plug relay is operating, The PCM determines that there is a malfunction in the glow plug relay circuit.
|
POSSIBLE CAUSE
|
• Glow plug relay malfunction
• Melt or burnt glow fuse
• PCM malfunction
• Glow plug malfunction
• Connector or terminal malfunction
• Open circuit in wiring harness between glow plug relay terminal 3A and PCM terminal 227
• Open circuit in wiring harness between glow plug relay terminal 1A and PCM terminal 182
• Open circuit in wiring harness between glow plug relay terminal 1B and main relay
• Open circuit in wiring harness between glow plug relay terminal 2A and battery
• Short to ground circuit in wiring harness between glow plug relay terminal 3A and PCM terminal 227
