ECD SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0380

DTC Code DTC Name
P0380 Glow Plug / Heater Circuit "A" Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The glow plug is mounted inside the engine combustion chamber. To ensure efficient engine starting with a cold engine, the ECM calculates the time interval the 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 calculated time of the ECM. The glow plug is then heated, and enhances fuel combustion with a cold engine.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • When replacing the ECM, the ECM needs Registration and Initialization Click here.

  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure

Tech Tips


  • When the ECM must be replaced, before replacing the ECM, perform the "Learning Values Save" function using the intelligent tester. Then after installing the new ECM, perform all of the initialization/registrations for the "Learning Values Write" function by following the instructions shown on the tester display.

  • Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE


  1. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (PRE GLOW AND AFTER GLOW)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Pre Glow and After Glow.

    4. Read the values when before and after start the engine.

      OK
      "Pre Glow" is ON before starting the engine and "After Glow" is ON after starting the engine.

      Tech Tips

      "Pre Glow" and "After Glow" times vary depending on the engine coolant temperature sensor as shown in the illustration.

      A005IGHE07

      Tech Tips


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

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


    OK
    NG
  2. INSPECT GLOW PLUG RELAY ASSEMBLY
