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. Oh, and charging the batteries didn't change any of the readings. Looks like I've got an ABS problem and a glow plug problem. You shouldn't have any problem testing the ABS in this weather. Go to a deserted parking lot that has some ice/snow on it and try to lock them up. You will know right away if the ABS is working. Not only that, but if the ABS is really disabled, your dash should be lit up like a Christmas tree! Are those the specific error codes for your vehicle, or the generic ones listed for your reader? They can be a bit different. If I were John I'd try the "Control-Alt-Delete" procedure. Disconnect the positive lead from the battery, wait for about 10 minutes, reconnect and then see if the codes are still there and if his remote starter works properly. Just reset the codes via the ODB reader. No. That just masks the problems. I'd like to see him remove the 12 volts from the entire system. He charged it but I don't think he actually removed it. Not saying it will work but if something is latched "off" it could reset it. I am thinking more about the remote starter problem, not the glow plug issue. His truck will run with one or two glow plugs out. |
