Another KDS single blink error code

I’ve been having increasingly hard starting while cold. Recently replaced all glow plugs with Wellman improved model and that helped greatly.

Of course, running HMMWV today in the snowy weather I now have a single blink error code but the truck starts and the plugs cycle.

After two more warm starts the normal wait sequence is back to normal. Hmm...

my understanding on the green label is that is does not use the glow plug controller temperature switch on the water cross over tube, so that would not be your issue but not sure on what is acting up on yours?

It appears to be working. I understand the green label KDS box has a timer and will not re-warm plugs after the initial shot until the timer expires

Additionsl info, following troubleshooting TM the box and glow plugs are working. The cold advance thermostatic switch is faulty. I’ve ordered a replacement so the cold advance IP solenoid can function.
