Are you getting a voltage at the plugs?
whats resistance of each plug?
Usually fault is with 1 or more glow plugs faulty
Thought it might be one or so. What voltage/resistance am i looking for using my new multimeter? Its for friend's zafira but same engine z19dth so can work good with that :-)
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.
3 glowplugs was not in good condition. Only one seems new!
So replaced all 4 and starts ok. I found injector tubes one was leaking then suddenly spray!!! One tube burst!!! Good job we have a siezed engine handy for spares, replaced it. Jobs a good un! :-)
Thanks critch for highlighting glow plugs. :-)
