. The glow plug system type needs to be relearned when a new calibration has been flash programmed in to the PCM. The relearn procedure does not need to be done to a glow plug system type after a PCM has been replaced. The new PCM has the ability to perform an auto learn when system is not present. The Not Learned message will display on scan tool. If a system type has not been relearned after the PCM has been flashed, a P0380 will set.

  1. Turn ON the ignition leaving the engine OFF.
  2. Use the scan tool in order to select Special Functions, Engine Output Functions and Glow Plug System Learn.
  3. Activate the Glow Plug System Learn by selecting ON. After the learn function has been preformed Not Learned will display on the scan tool. In this step the scan tool is clearing the system type.
  4. Use the scan tool in order to select the Special Functions menu, and select Glow Plug.
  5. Activate the Glow Plug system by selecting ON. In this step the glow plug relay is now sending the identifying (signature) voltage to the PCM.
  6. The PCM will now be able to identify the correct glow plug system type. For visual verification of the glow plug system, refer to
