Kuga glow plug light and smoke

Hey, wondering if anyone has seen this before on a 2014 Ford Kuga diesel. The glow plug light stays on, and the check engine light is on too. Plus, it smokes when I accelerate. I'm thinking it might be the glow plug control unit, maybe a bad wire or plug. It's got 187150 km on it.

I had something similar with my Kuga. Does it start any different, especially when it's cold?

Thanks! Yeah, it's a little harder to start when it's cold. What happened with yours? How did you fix it?

That's what mine did. I checked a few things, but ended up taking it to a shop. They said it was the glow plug control unit. I'd get it checked out.

Thanks for the tip! I took it to a shop, and it was the glow plug control unit, just like I thought, the cable connection. Cost me 95€ to fix. Appreciate the help!
