Default Jetcat P120 constant "Pump Running" lit

I have a P120 that has the kero start conversion. First time hooking everything up to check out the system and the "Pump running" lamp is lit on the GSU and the I/O board. According to the manual, this means the glow plug is defective. However, I have the system in Kero start mode with the Kero plug installed. Changed out all cables with a new set. Same indication. Please help. Thanks.

Only a flashing red light means a failure. Solid red light means pump running…

Okay, the flashing red light means defective glow plug (in the manual). Does this apply to a kero-start plug?

Does the pump run if you go through to the test menu?
Any noise from the pump when the red light is on?

Pump does not run. This happens when I first turn it on. I have a P80 with a kero plug. I will swap them out and see if that is the problem.

I think there is a fault on one of the ECU boards.
