P0344 = cam position sensor error P0603 = Internal control module keep alive memory error. P1670 = communication error between PCM and IDM P0562 = system voltage low
My guess is you probably have some wiring issues but it's hard to tell exactly where.

This sounds like a bad TURBO or a clogged MUFFLER...REMOVE TURBO HOSES AND CHECK FOR OIL..IF OIL IS THERE TURBO IS BAD..ALSO CHECK INTERNAL TURBO FINS FOR DAMAGE....This I've seen before..A bad turbo or clogged exhaust can create all these codes because nothing is working correctly cause it can't breath....I am Diesel tech.....I could be wrong but I have seen it before in many cars and trucks...ONE ITEM GOING BAD CAN MAKE OTHERS NOT WORK PROPERLY AND GIVE YOU FAULT READINGS FOR EVERYTHING......Good luck....Brooks....

Vehicle Speed Signal
The vehicle speed signal is generated by the rear anti-lock brake sensor and sent to the 4-wheel anti-lock brake system (4WABS) module. The 4WABS module sends the vehicle speed signal via circuit 679 (GY/BK) to all systems which require a vehicle speed signal input.
Speedometer
The electronic speedometer receives a speed signal from the 4WABS module.

Take your vehicle an have it diagnosed , before you buy parts you don't need . Just a suggestion , could be a wiring problem , the speedometer gauge , computer etc...
The information you are asking for varies depending on how the vehicle is equipped ie. ENGINE SIZE, AUTOMATIC or MANUAL TRANSMISSION, 2-WHEEL DRIVE, 4-WHEEL DRIVE, ALL-WHEEL DRIVE, etc. With that said, it also deserves mention that there is a Technical Service Bulletin published by Ford Motor Company that applies to the model year and model that you have listed that involves Diagnostic Test Code (DTC) P0456.
Please note that this bulletin emphasizes the requirement of special equipment to properly diagnose and repair the DTC's listed in the bulletin. Below is a brief (partial) description of the bulletin:

This article supersedes TSB 03-9-8 to update the vehicle lines and Service
Procedures. ISSUE Some vehicles may exhibit a Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) illuminated with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) P0442, P0455, P0456,
P0457 or P1442 or a "Check Fuel Cap" Lamp illuminated with DTC P0457 for the
Evaporative Emission System. This may be caused by loose or leaking hoses, loose
or broken fuel cap, a leak at the top of the fuel filler pipe neck, etc.
ACTION Use the Rotunda Leak Detector Smoke Machine (Part 218-00001) or
equivalent, to locate and repair leaks in the Evaporative Emission System.
if the smoke is white you have a water vapor problem and it will probably be your egr water cooler and oil cooler. if the smoke is blue, you may have a blown head-gasket or it could be the oil cooler also. take it to a ford dealer and let them put it on their computor, it will cost you a little but it will confirm what you may already know. hope this help's.
P0146 pd means pending code
Pending codes and DTCs?
Posted on November 12, 2010 by fcrmaster
When reading codes from your vehicle the fault code reader may show them as pending codes or normal Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC).
Pending codes (also known as continuous monitor codes) will be registered when an intermittent fault occurs. If that fault does not happen again after x number of start/stop cycles, the ECU will erase the code from memory. If the fault is persistent it becomes a DTC.
If you have read pending codes it is advisable to check the codes again after a week or so. If there is no apparent problem with the vehicle it is safe to erase the codes too and check back. But always make a note of any fault codes with the date and mileage of a vehicle.
If the codes read include a DTC then you need to investigate further. This you can either do yourself or advise your garage. If, again, you don't see an apparent problem (depending n the severity of the code) with the vehicle you can note the codes down and erase them. Then check again after a week or a few days depending on how often the vehicle gets used. If a repair has been made (previous owner) the DTC may just not have been reset after the repair.
The other numbers behind the code 01/06 ,
02/06, 03/06 , 05/06 ,04/06
These don't mean anything . cheap code reader .

you test the resistance of each glow plug, they should all be about the same resistance, if u find any that are way off from the others then chances are they are defective. Have u considered going to constant duty glow plugs? they last far longer and are cheaper in the end.
