I've never seen that fault before. It says "Glow Plug Indicator Circuit", does the glow plug light come on every time you start the car? The freeze frame has the fault set at 0 rpms so that was before the car was running. If the light works, I would just clear the fault out. Maybe someone turned the key on with the cluster disconnected or something.

Thanks for the help autoxerwgn,

Yes the glow plug light does light on every time I turn on the car.

When you say clear it out, you mean just by pressing the clear button in the scan menu ?

I don't remember exactly what the button says, but I think it is right next to "Read Codes". I think it says Erase or Clear Codes.
