P067F

Cylinder 6 Glow Plug Control Circuit High

Glow plug / diesel preheat Generic OBD-II High

What it means

P067F is a diesel code meaning the engine computer saw an abnormally high voltage in the control circuit for cylinder 6's glow plug — typically an open plug, broken wiring, or a poor connection. Glow plugs preheat the cylinder for cold starts, so the main effect is hard cold starting and rough, smoky running until the engine warms.

High

Can I keep driving? Usually drivable — expect hard cold starts and rough, smoky running until warm; a single glow plug rarely prevents starting outright.

Common symptoms

What you'll notice

Common causes

Most likely first

  1. Failed cylinder 6 glow plug (open or high resistance)
  2. Open or shorted wiring in the glow plug control circuit
  3. Corroded or loose connector at the glow plug or module
  4. Faulty glow plug control module

How to diagnose & fix

Work through it in order

  1. Scan and confirm the code, then check for glow-plug codes on other cylinders.
  2. Inspect the wiring and connector from the control module to the cylinder 6 glow plug.
  3. Measure the glow plug's resistance and compare to the others; replace it if open or out of spec.
  4. Test the control module output and its power/ground feeds if the plug and wiring are good. Clear and re-test.
