Troubleshooting
Glow plug warning light stays on or flashes
This often indicates a fault in the glow plug system, potentially including the relay. Ensure the relay is correctly installed and receives power. If the issue persists, the glow plugs themselves or the wiring may need inspection.
Engine fails to start in cold weather
