DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch turns ON, the ECM calculates the glow indicator lighting time/heating corresponding to the coolant temperature at that time and turns on the glow indicator light/glow plug relay.
As the ceramics is used for a glow plug material, the current control is not performed.
