DTC P0380 Glow Plug Circuit Performance

Circuit Description

The glow plug system is used to assist in providing the heat re-
quired to begin combustion during engine starting at cold am-
bient temperatures. The glow plugs are heated before and
during cranking, as well as initial engine operation. The PCM
controls the glow plug “ON” times by monitoring coolant tem-
peratures and glow plug voltage. The PCM also monitors glow
plugs individually to detect a failure. Once a failure has been
detected, a diagnostic signal is sent to the PCM so the diagnos-
tic code and MIL can be activated. This is a type B code.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Hard start or no start and possible white smoke.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

• The PCM will turn the MIL off after three consecutive

trips without a fault condition.

• A History DTC will clear when forty consecutive

warm-up cycles that the diagnostic does not fail (coolant
temperature has risen 5°C (40°F) from start up coolant
temperature and engine coolant temperature exceeds
71°C (160°F) that same ignition cycle).

• Use of a Scan Tool.

Diagnostic Aids

IF a P0380 DTC sets after the PCM has been flashed, the glow
plug system must be relearned. Refer to (LINK-GOTO-RE-
PAIR-609502) Glow Plug System Type Relearn. If glow plug
relay is stuck in the “ON” position, check for proper operation
of glow plugs. When glow plugs are commanded “ON” by the
Scan Tool, an internal PCM timer protects the glow plugs from
damage by cycling them “ON” for 3 seconds and then “OFF”
for 12 seconds. The glow plug relay battery feed wire nut
should be tested for proper torque. The California glow plug
system will send the following volages.

Test Description

Number(s) below refer to the number(s) on the diagnostic ta-
ble.

3-This step will determine if P0380 is a hard failure.

4-This step will determine if there is a short to voltage on the
signal circuit.

8-This step will determine if there is ignition voltage at the
glow plug relay.

10-This step will determine if the glow plug control circuit and
the PCM are working properly.

11-This step will determine if if there is a short to voltage an
the relay control circuit.

13-This step will determine if the glow plugs or the glow plug
harness is causing the P0380 DTC.
