Condition/Concern:

The customer concern may be an intermittent SES light with a Glow Plug Control Module (GPCM) loss of communication diagnostic trouble code U0106.

Complete the current SI diagnostics for any trouble code or symptom found. If you have encountered a vehicle with DTC U0106, and the diagnostics are inconclusive, please do not replace the GPCM.
