coreykelly Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I've a problem with my 05 1.6 TDCI focus 110bhp. I notice the engine is running rough when i start it up when cold. Then there is a lot of white smoke coming out of exhauxt that stinks of burn. Plugged it in to my diagnostic and it gave me code P138B - Glow Plug Control Module System Voltage. Anyone any idea what to do to get rid of this fault. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro_Tull Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Check there's voltage going to the plugs. Then test the plugs. Then hit the glow plug control module with a hammer and scream obscenities at the thought of what it's going to cost. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have had that code now for over a year now. Like yours ,bit smoky and burning smell on start up. Had people suggest that it could be the glow plug relay. But was never arsed with it as I can live with it.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
