CHECK ILLUMINATION DURATION OF GLOW INDICATOR LIGHT
Check the light illumination duration.
Turn the ignition switch ON, and then measure the light illumination duration.
| Light illumination duration |
|---|
| See graph. |
If the result is not as specified, inspect the ECM, engine coolant temperature sensor, glow plug and glow relay.
Tech Tips
Actual light illumination duration may vary slightly from the graph.
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
CHECK PRE-HEATING
Inspect the pre-heating time.
Turn the ignition switch ON. Measure how long it takes for battery voltage to be applied to the glow plugs.

If the result is not as specified, inspect the ECM, engine coolant temperature sensor, glow plug and glow relay.
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Turn the ignition switch to START. Check that battery voltage is applied to the glow plugs.
While cranking the engine, measure how long it takes for battery voltage to be applied to the glow plugs.

If the result is not as specified, inspect the ECM, engine coolant temperature sensor, glow plug and glow relay.
CHECK AFTERGLOW
Check the afterglow time.
After the engine starts, measure how long it takes for battery voltage to be applied to terminals E7-15 (GREL) and E5-7 (E1) of the ECM.
