2008 GL320 CDI CEL P0670

I found these descriptions:
- P0670 states there is a problem with the glow plug control module or glow plug(s)
- P0670 Glow Plug Mod Control Circuit
- Standard DTCs (ISO 15031-6/SAE J2012): Glow Plug Control Module Control Circuit/Open

Some say it has to be the module, and others say it could be one or more glow plugs.

Does the MB ODB port give specific glow plug failure codes? If it does, and I am not getting any, would this not point to the module?

The car starts OK (new to me, and it has been very cold, so I don't know exactly what "normal" starts are like.)

Thoughts anyone?

it is most likely your glow plug relay.

this is somewhat a common problem.

plugs have been reliable in the 320/350cdi so there is a good chance they are good.
