    Are you getting a voltage at the plugs?

    whats resistance of each plug?

    Usually fault is with 1 or more glow plugs faulty

    Looking for battery voltage

    then with electrical sensor disconnect looking for 0.5-1 ohm on each plug (black wire to engine block red to top of plug)

    Mine gave this same fault code after replacing all four plugs with pattern ones. Replaced them all again with genuine ( Beru branded) ones and the fault cleared.

    I measured and found that the pattern ones had a slightly higher resistance then the genuine ones. this must have been enough to confuse the control unit.
