INSPECT ILLUMINATION DURATION OF GLOW INDICATOR LIGHT
Inspect the light illumination duration.
Turn the ignition switch to ON, and then measure the light illumination duration.
| Light illumination duration |
|---|
| Refer to the graph. |
| *a | Light Illumination Duration | *b | Engine Coolant Temperature |
Turn the ignition switch off.
Tech Tips
Actual light illumination duration may vary slightly from the graph.
If the result is not as specified, inspect the ECM, engine coolant temperature sensor, glow plug and glow relay.
INSPECT PRE-HEATING
Inspect the pre-heating time.
| *a | Pre-heating Time | *b | Battery Voltage |
Turn the ignition switch to ON. Measure how long it takes for battery voltage to be applied to the glow plugs.
| Standard Time | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
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.
| Standard Time | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

If the result is not as specified, inspect the ECM, engine coolant temperature sensor, glow plug and glow relay.
INSPECT AFTER GLOW TIME
Remove the glow relay.
| *1 | After Glow Time (Sec.) |
| *2 | Engine Coolant Temperature °C (°F) |
After the engine starts, measure the length of time that battery voltage remains present.
| Standard After Glow Time | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
*1: After glow time changes depending on atmospheric pressure and engine coolant temperature.
If the result is not as specified, check the ECM, engine coolant temperature sensor, glow plug and glow relay.
Install the glow relay.
