Hi,
I recently got hold of the correct cable for DIS, so I thought I'd see what faults codes my car has kicked up, I got the fault code 4232 which is open circuit on glow plug 3, and a few others which I'll sort out when I free up some dosh. What the easiest way to test this? Do I need any special equipment, or is it as simple as using a multimeter and checking what current/voltage is coming through the wires and pins?
Also when the term open circuit is used, I'm guessing that means the current isnt either reaching the glow plug, or the glow plug isn't allowing the circuit to be complete, therefore not heating up? Nothing else related to the glow plugs came up, even after clearing the codes, only this one returned, and a few non-related items popped up.
If it turns out that the glow plugs are faulty, is their a massive difference in going for something like NGK glow plugs or Beru? As certain motor factors charge a lot more then others for something that will only pre-heat the chamber and help regulate (to some degree) emissions.
Cheers!
