Why you going in to ecm? Vida is pointing you to check the glow plugs or relay, has nothing to do with ecm. In this engine is a common problem, eather failing relay or burnt plug, just keep in mind they are easy to break and then it will be really expensive to get someone to remove broken plug from engine because they are on the back of the engine and really tight space to work.

I didnt see that image in vida before, I dont find the software very intuitive so often get results by just clicking around like I know what Im doing lol. I just went off the ECM-6620 code, and assumed the ECM was the place to look.

I have looked at a YouTube video to remove the bumper, seems pretty straight forward, so that is next on the list.

Ye I have been at the plugs already to test resistance, absolute nightmare location to get to. Id be surprised if it was even possible to drill out broken plugs at the back, unless they had a bendy drill bit. Ridiculous design!

I'll post an update when Ive got to the relay.

Thanks all...

It is possible to drill them out but good set is needed and specialist are charging a lot for doing this. Sometimes it's easier to remove the plugs with warm engine and torque wrench. They are so thin and torque is minimal so it's really easy to snap if they have been there for years
