Glow PlugsThe diesel engine uses glow plugs to assist with cold weather starting and <strong>com</strong>bustion until the cylinder is warmenough to operate normally. The glow plugs are duty cycle controlled and will overheat if constant 12V is applied.The glow plugs are operated by the Glow Plug Control Module (GPCM). It contains 8 high current smart MOSFETdrivers, one <strong>for</strong> each glow plug. Glow time and intensity are calculated on the basis of CAN signals (rpm, torque,engine coolant temp, air temp and BP.) The module also contains 3 drivers <strong>for</strong> the DEF (NOx reductant) heatingand thawing system.GPCMThe GPCM is connected to the ECU via <strong>Diesel</strong> high speed CAN. All data and diagnostics pass over this nonpublic<strong>com</strong>munication bus. The standard operating voltages <strong>for</strong> the GPCM are 6.5 volts to 16 volts. Limitedoperation between 5.5v and 6.5v on the lower range and no operation below 5.5v. Glow function is disabled below6.5v and above 16.5v.FORD MOTOR COMPANY REVISION DATE: FEBRUARY 9, 2012 09.01.00.02-PAGE 136 OF 157
