PRE-HEATING SYSTEM ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

Note

Turn the ignition switch off for 60 seconds before performing the following inspections.


  1. INSPECT ILLUMINATION DURATION OF GLOW INDICATOR LIGHT

      *1 Light Illumination Duration
      *2 Engine Coolant Temperature

      Turn the ignition switch to ON and measure the duration of time that the light remains illuminated.

      Light illumination duration
      Refer to the graph

      If the result is not as specified, check the ECM, engine coolant temperature sensor, glow plug assembly and glow relay.

  2. INSPECT PRE-HEATING

      *1 Pre-heating Time
      *2 Battery Voltage

      Turn the ignition switch to ON and measure the length of time that battery voltage is applied to the glow plugs.

      Standard Pre-heating Time
      Engine Coolant Temperature Pre-heating Time
      40°C (104°F) or higher 1 sec.
      40°C (104°F) or less

      Refer to the graph

      (15 sec. at the longest)

      Tech Tips

      The values of the graph fluctuate depending on the engine coolant temperature.

      If the result is not as specified, check the ECM, engine coolant temperature sensor, glow plug assembly and glow relay.

  3. INSPECT AFTERGLOW TIME


    1. Measure the length of time that battery voltage is applied to the glow plugs.

      *1 Afterglow Time
      *2 Engine Coolant Temperature

      After the engine starts, measure the length of time that battery voltage is applied to the glow plugs.

      Afterglow time
      Refer to the graph

      If the result is not as specified, check the ECM, engine coolant temperature sensor, glow plug assembly and glow relay.
