Speaking of remote starters...

Upon hooking up the OBD scanner, I get a C0899 (Device voltage low), a
C0561 (ABS disabled, invalid
serial data received), and P0673 (#3 Glow plug circuit). The first (and
maybe the second) may be due
to low batteries, which I've treated badly this winter - only short
trips to the store, etc. Trips
that should have been made walking or riding a motorcycle. So, the
charger is on, and we'll see what
happens when the batteries are up to snuff.
"Glow plug" figured prominently in those threads I read about remote
start not working. It might be worth a shot. Does it run a little
rough for a minute on a regular start? I don't know a lot about
diesels but I am guessing if a glow plug was not working, it would
miss a bit until it started "dieseling"
It may just be a loose connection I guess.
The glow plugs will burn out over time. I've had three go bad since I
bought the truck. With seven
working, there is no problem starting it, and it runs fine. No roughness at all.
There is a problem with the glow plug controller on at least the 2002-2007.
You would get both missing glow plug ODB codes and also a failure to
communicate with the controller. The solder connections to the plug would
break.
