ECD SYSTEM (w/ EGR Cooler Bypass Valve) Pre-heating Control Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The glow plug assembly is mounted inside the engine combustion chamber. To ensure efficient engine starting with a cold engine, the ECM calculates a time interval for the current that needs to flow through the glow plug assembly depending on the starting engine coolant temperature when the ignition switch is turned to ON. The ECM then turns on the GLOW relay and permits the current to flow through the glow plug assembly based on the ECM's calculated time. The GLOW relay is then heated, and enhances fuel combustion with a cold engine.

This DTC will be set if the glow plug assembly or the circuit is open.

Tech Tips


  • These troubleshooting procedures are for the following conditions: 1) difficulty starting the engine in cold weather, and 2) difficulty driving the vehicle or vehicle malfunctions in cold weather immediately after engine is started.

  • After the engine is started, the ECM performs an "after-glow" for a certain period of time. In proportion to the actual engine coolant temperature, the time period varies. The after-glow reduces diesel engine knocking, white smoke emissions and engine noises when the engine is cold.

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT GLOW MAIN RELAY


    1. A01KH01E01

      Remove the GLOW MAIN relay from the R/B No. 2.

    2. Check the GLOW MAIN relay resistance.

      Standard resistance
      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      1 -2 10 kΩ or higher
      1 -2

      Below 1 Ω

      (when battery voltage is applied to terminals 3 and 4)

    3. Reinstall the GLOW MAIN relay.


    NG

    REPLACE GLOW MAIN RELAY

    OK

  2. INSPECT FUSE (GLOW)


    1. A01KEQ9E03
      Text in Illustration
      *1 R/B No. 2
      *2 GLOW Fuse

      Remove the GLOW fuse from the R/B No. 2.

    2. Check the GLOW fuse resistance.

      Standard resistance
      Below 1 Ω

    3. Reinstall the GLOW fuse.


    NG

    CHECK FOR SHORT IN ALL HARNESS AND COMPONENTS CONNECTED TO FUSE, AND REPLACE FUSE

    OK

  3. INSPECT GLOW PLUG ASSEMBLY (RESISTANCE)


    1. A01KGI8E04
      Text in Illustration
      *1 Glow Plug Assembly

      Disconnect the glow plug wire.

    2. Measure the resistance of the glow plug assembly.

      Standard resistance
      Tester Connection Specified Condition Specified Condition
      Glow plug terminal - Body ground 20°C (68°F) Approximately 0.7 Ω

      Tech Tips

      If any of the glow plug assembly has an open malfunction, the engine power is insufficient only when the engine is cold.

      Note


      • Exercise extreme care not to damage the glow plug pipes. Damaging them could cause an open circuit, or shorten the life of the glow plug assembly.

      • Keep the glow plug assembly free of oil and fuel while cleaning.

      • Wipe any oil off of the terminal and Bakelite washer with a clean, dry cloth during inspection.

      • Do not apply more than 11 V to the glow plug assembly as it may cause an open circuit.

    3. Reconnect the glow plug wire.


    NG

    OK

  4. CHECK GLOW PLUG ASSEMBLY (INSTALLATION)


    1. Check the glow plug installation.

      OK
      Glow plug assembly is installed securely
      Torque:
      13 N*m  { 130 kgf*cm, 10 ft.*lbf }

    NG

    TIGHTEN GLOW PLUG ASSEMBLY Click here

    OK

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (GLOW MAIN RELAY - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the E12 ECM connector.

    2. Remove the GLOW MAIN relay from the R/B No. 2

    3. Check the resistance.

      Standard resistance (Check for open)
      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      Relay block glow main relay terminal 3 - E12-19 (GREL) Below 1 Ω
      Standard resistance (Check for short)
      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      Relay block glow main relay terminal 3 or E12-19 (GREL) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
