ECM (Engine Control Module)
• The ECM, which is mounted behind the engine on the
passenger side cowl, uses sensor inputs to control
actuators and send fueling commands to the fuel inectors.
• The ECM controls the fuel and air management
system on the 6.4L Power Stroke
®
Diesel.
Glow Plug System
• The glow plug system is used to warm the
air in the cylinders to enhance cold weather
startability and reduce start up smoke.
• The glow plug system is ECM controlled,
and powered by the GPCM.
Glow Plug Control Module(GPCM)
& Glow Plug Harness
• The GPCM is a unit that controls the glow plugs
in order to warm the air in the cylinders.
• The GPCM uses a glow plug enable signal to turn the
glow plugs on for a time controlled by the ECM.
• The GPCM is capable of diagnosing a problem with one
glow plug and then sending a diagnostic signal to the ECM.
• It also has the ability to turn off one glow plug
if a short is detected in that circuit.
• Each bank of glow plugs is connected to
the engine wiring harness via a glow plug
harness, either left bank or right bank.
• The glow plug harness has four connectors that
supply power to the glow plugs and seal oil from
escaping through the glow plug access holes.
