I have a recurring dtc:
17068 Unknown Error Code
35-00
which is actually:
Glow Plug Control Module to PCM Circuit (J271) Range/Performance
which I understand to be:
"glow plug relay to ECU"
So I was troubleshooting my relay last night, and no wonder my startup is a bit rough, my glow plugs aren't working!
I made an extension harness so I could probe the relay's connections, and I still haven't found out much.
From the Bentley:
Relay Pin#1 to pin T121/42 ECU
#2 +12, main power in
#3 br ground
#4 to glow plugs 1/2
#6 to glow plugs 3/4
#7 to pin T121/33 ECU
#9 to ECU controlled power ('blue circuit', relay 109)
I have confirmed all my connections, and even with my water temp sensor unplugged, I never get +12 on the GP outputs. In fact, I never get anything on the GP outputs.
I have ground on ground,
+12.5V on the main input,
+12.5V on the 109 relay circuit (with the key on),
and resistances of ~.8ohm on each of the GP circuits.
The ECU connections give me 11V and 1/2V when the key is on
(can't remember which was which).
I haven't started the engine yet to check to see what changes when the engine gets warmed up and the glow plugs shut off completely.
I assume the relay is toast, but it's also quite new, and rather expensive.
Does anyone have insight or ideas?
What are the ECU outputs supposed to be?
