This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that the computer in your car detected that the electrical circuit for the glow plug in cylinder 5 is getting too much power.
The vehicle's engine control module (ECM) monitors the glow plug circuit for each cylinder. If it detects that the voltage or current is too high for the glow plug in cylinder 5, it triggers the P067D code.
The P067D code indicates that the glow plug control circuit for cylinder 5 is experiencing a higher than expected voltage. This could be due to a short circuit, faulty glow plug, or an issue with the glow plug control module.
• Engine hard to start in cold weather
• Check engine light illuminated
• Rough idle when cold
• Faulty glow plug in cylinder 5
• Short circuit in the glow plug wiring
• Faulty glow plug control module
Glow Plug: A device used to heat the air in a diesel engine to help start the engine.
ECM: Engine Control Module, the computer that controls engine functions.
• Perform a visual inspection of the glow plug and wiring for cylinder 5.
• Use a multimeter to test the resistance of the glow plug.

Moderate
• Ford F-250
• Chevrolet Silverado
• Dodge Ram
• Regularly inspect glow plug connections.
• Ensure proper maintenance of electrical systems.
• Use quality replacement parts.
Sensor Issue
• Have your vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic.
• Avoid using the vehicle in extremely cold conditions until repaired.
Glow plugs may be covered under the powertrain warranty. Check with your vehicle manufacturer.
Glow plug issues are common in diesel engines, especially in colder climates where they are used more frequently.
Moderate – While the vehicle may still run, it could have starting issues in cold weather.
Ignoring this code could lead to increased emissions and potential engine damage.
• Engine cold start
• Ambient temperature below 40°F
The glow plug for cylinder 5 is located on the engine block, typically near the intake manifold.
Q: Can I drive with a P067D code?
A: You can drive, but it may be difficult to start the engine in cold weather.
Q: How do I know if a glow plug is bad?
A: Symptoms include difficulty starting the engine, especially in cold weather, and a rough idle.
