DTC P0677: CYLINDER 7 GLOW PLUG CIRCUIT/OPEN

Description:  The PCM carries out a functional key ON, engine running (KOER) self-test for the glow plug system. During the self-test the PCM enables the glow plug control module (GPCM) which monitors each individual glow plug and harness for concerns. This DTC sets when the GPCM detects a concern with a glow plug or the glow plug harness, and the GPCM sends a message to the PCM.
Possible Causes: 
  • Glow plug circuit open
  • Glow plug circuit short to ground
  • Glow plug circuit short to voltage
  • Damaged glow plug
Diagnostic Aids:  Check the glow plug wire harness for an open or a short circuit.
