СИСТЕМА ECD 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 during which current needs to flow through the glow plug, depending on the starting engine coolant temperature when the ignition switch is turned to ON. The ECM then turns on the glow plug relay and permits the 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.

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.

  • Pre-glow time depends on battery voltage and engine coolant temperature.

  • After-glow time depends on atmospheric pressure and engine coolant temperature.
