Does it start OK?

Coolant sensor, bad connections, glowplug relay for starters.

It does of course only come on with the engine cold.

Hot or cold? Hot start problems are well documented. If the fault is intermittant on a cold engine, check the temp sensor and the voltage on the glowplugs, it could be the glowplug relay.

Good idea to get the fault codes read.

In the box behind the battery attached to the engine ECU.
