is there a chance some of the electrical troubles I’m having on this truck can be traced to the SAM module . That bulky device at the fuse box
the diagram attached is the wiring diagram of ABS and it looks like the brake or stop lamp switch is controlled to open and close by a wire from the BCM or SAM. My brake light on the dashboard doesn’t go off and this is causing ABS not to function and also probably the cause of the accelerator pedal DTC
Kindly look at this wiring diagram and help me tie all of these together (Brake light on the dashboard and glow plug control module no voltage)
im bringing up this SAM module at the fuse box because when my inner light failed, I did the unplug and plug connector at the SAM and it started working fine ever since
the wiring diagrams were randomly lifted online from a dodge sprinter though, but I guess they all mostly share some wiring commonalities
I will be more than happy if the help I will get from you will fix both the glow plug module problem, the brake light staying on on the dashboard and the APPS DTC

You started asking about a glow plug problem and brought in a brake lamp issue, an abs issue and an accelerator pedal position issue.
One of the hardest disciplines of diagnostics is learning to pick a path and walk it to the end. Keep focused on the glowplug module, and if some how the abs issue is related, it will be resolved at the end of the path.
Hope to see you get this one nailed down soon!

i will focus on the glow plug module and see if fixing that will address other issues.

1. A ground wire
2. A Lin bus wire coming from a generator and ECM
3. A black and dark green wire coming from the crankcase vent heater control fused asd relay output
I cannot see that thick red wire HOT at all time 12v
my Glow Plug Module has
thick red wire HOT at all time 12v
blue LIN bus wire
brown ground wire
@Bryan kindly help with the wiring diagram for my vehicle model
i really want to solve this glow plug module fault as fast as possible
thanks everyone

My Glow plug module seem to be missing ignition power. No idea where the ignition wire fits into the module. There are 3 pins but only two are used
anyone familiar with this GPM
I’m thinking of buying a different module that has a place for the ignition power and then connect a wire to any 20amps fuse with ignition power, then the vehicle LIN bus and ground wires
will this work

If you can post the appropriate glow plug module diagram (the bottom 2 wires are cut off the screen shot in your first post) or connector pin out, someone may be able to determine what is missing , but I have no resources for that information.

I’ve attached two pics that best describe the glow plug module in my sprinter
what part is mainly responsible in switching on and off that resistive multiplex switch. Is it the fused B (+) 12v thick red wire or the energizing coil circled in the second pic
Im experiencing a horrible long cranktime to start this vehicle and I’m suspecting this problem is coming from the glow plugs/glow plugs module
I started having this starting problem after changing 3 out of 4 of my glow plugs
I had denzo glow plugs in the vehicle before and then bought a Beru Ireland glow plugs
Any ideas on how to solve this lingering problem. Many people I know with these sprinters are always having starting problems or limp mode problems

I have narrowed down the glow plug module problem to the control blue wire coming from the ECU (it is not turning on the module). I have walked my way backward directly to the connector of the ECU where this wire directly comes from and I’m getting voltage bouncing between 10v to 1.7v or so using a digital multimeter. I don’t have a scope to graph out this wire.
The glow plug module somehow clicked today and it turned on the light on the dashboard for like 30 seconds or more and then went off. This made the vehicle to start at once and also for the first time in history my battery voltage read 14.12v. The battery voltage before now was reading 13.6v
I have read that the glow plug module when not working properly can affect battery voltage.
Some hours later I am back to ground zero again where the glow plug module is not clicking and my battery voltage has retuned back to its 13,6v
I do have a DTC 7201 that says one or more signals from the ECU via the CAN BUS is implausible. Any idea what I’m dealing with here? I have changed the two CAN BUS connectors.
I know how stupid engineering can be sometimes especially when it comes to easy troubleshooting as most times the repair process flow in a manufacturer’s diagnostic software may lead you astray as they will never mention other components that may be causing the issue.
Community people, you guys are the only ones I’m relying on now as to which direction to go in fixing this glow plug problem.
is it possible that a failing component not related to the glow plug module or shorted wire is causing my glow plug module not to be activated?
