ECD SYSTEM(w/o DPF) Pre-heating Control Circuit

DESCRIPTION

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

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

Tech Tips


  • These troubleshooting procedures are for: 1) difficult engine starting in cold weather, and 2) difficulty driving/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. CHECK ECM TERMINAL VOLTAGE (GREL TERMINAL)


    1. A01WWS2E01
      Text in Illustration
      *1 Engine Room Relay Block
      *2 GLOW NO. 2 Relay
      *3 GLOW NO. 1 Relay

      Remove the GLOW NO. 1 relay from the engine room relay block.

    2. Remove the GLOW NO. 2 relay from the engine room relay block.

    3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      GLOW NO. 1 relay (2) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V
      GLOW NO. 2 relay (2) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V

    OK

  2. INSPECT GLOW RELAY (GLOW 1 or 2)


    1. Inspect the GLOW NO. 1 relay Click here.

    2. Inspect the GLOW NO. 2 relay Click here.


    NG

    REPLACE GLOW RELAY (GLOW 1 or 2)

    OK

  3. INSPECT FUSE (GLOW 1 and GLOW 2)


    1. Remove the GLOW NO. 1 and GLOW NO. 2 fuses from the engine room relay block.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Component Condition Specified Condition
      GLOW NO. 1 H-fuse Always Below 1 Ω
      GLOW NO. 2 H-fuse Always Below 1 Ω

    NG

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

    OK

  4. INSPECT GLOW PLUG ASSEMBLY (RESISTANCE)


    1. Inspect the glow plug assembly Click here.


    NG

    REPLACE GLOW PLUG ASSEMBLY Click here

    OK

  5. CHECK GLOW PLUG ASSEMBLY (INSTALLATION)


    1. Check the glow plug installation Click here.

      OK
      Glow plugs are installed securely.

    NG

    TIGHTEN GLOW PLUG Click here

    OK

  6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (GLOW PLUG RELAY - GLOW PLUG - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND)


    1. Remove the GLOW NO. 1 relay from the engine room relay block.

    2. Disconnect the glow plug connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open)
      No. 1
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      GLOW NO. 1 relay (3) - C86-1 Always Below 1 Ω
      GLOW NO. 1 relay (5) - Positive (+) battery terminal cable Always Below 1 Ω
      GLOW NO. 1 relay (1) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

    4. Remove the GLOW NO. 2 relay from the engine room relay block.

    5. Disconnect the glow plug connector.

    6. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open)
      No. 2
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      GLOW NO. 2 relay (3) - C87-1 Always Below 1 Ω
      GLOW NO. 2 relay (5) - Positive (+) battery terminal cable Always Below 1 Ω
      GLOW NO. 2 relay (1) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

    OK
