Hi I have a Vectra C & just got 2 error codes pop up this morning

P0380 - Glow Device Circuit Low Voltage

P0615 - Starter Relay Circuit Low Voltage

Anyone have any ideas what the fault would be?
thanks

In sort, check those:

About DTC P0380:
1. F38 Fuse
2. FB2 Fuse

IF those they are :top: then here you are:

Circuit interruption between:
A147 Control Unit - Glow Time
Wiring harness connector (wiring harness side) terminal 1, 2
&
R23A Glow Plug - Cylinder 1
R23B Glow Plug - Cylinder 2
R23C Glow Plug - Cylinder 3
R23D Glow Plug - Cylinder 4
Wiring harness connector (wiring harness side) terminal 1
OR
Defective component:
A147 Control Unit - Glow Time

About DTC P0615:
Defective component:
G1 Battery :)

Good Luck! :top:

X-Mas Regards! :santaclaus:

Ok so I don't have A F38 or FB2 fuse they only go upto F37 unless i'm missing something, is it likely to be that the glow plugs just need replacing? I'm having trouble starting from cold now. Also is ther a way to test the glow plugs with Opcom?
thanks

Testing it would mean to measure temperature at the glow plugs or measure volt/ampere while glowing. I afraid opcom can`t do that.

A simple test to see if anything glows: switch a light on (interior lighting) and see if it is getting darker while glowing (light in dashbord). Or test with amperemeter if you have.

thanks I will test them with a Multimeter
