CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
Turn the ignition switch off for 60 seconds before performing the following inspections.
PROCEDURE
INSPECT LIGHTING DURATION OF GLOW INDICATOR LIGHT
Turn the ignition switch to ON and measure the duration of time that the light remains illuminated.
| Light illumination duration |
|---|
| Refer to the graph and the table *1 |
| *1: Lighting duration depending on atmospheric pressure. |
| *a | Second | *b | Glow Time |
| *c | Engine Coolant Temperature | - | - |
If the result is not as specified, check the ECM, engine coolant temperature sensor, glow plug and glow plug relay.
| Light Illumination Duration | ||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

INSPECT PRE-HEATING
Turn the ignition switch to ON and measure the length of time that battery voltage is applied to the glow plugs.
| Pre-heating time |
|---|
| Refer to the graph *1 |
| *1: Pre-heating time changes depending on battery voltage and engine coolant temperature. |
If the result is not as specified, check the ECM, engine coolant temperature sensor, glow plug and glow plug relay.
Turn the ignition switch to the START position and check that the battery voltage is applied to the glow plugs.
While cranking the engine, measure the length of time that battery voltage is applied to the glow plugs.
| Pre-heating time |
|---|
| Refer to the graph *1 |
| *1: Pre-heating time changes depending on battery voltage and engine coolant temperature. |
| *a | Second | *b | Pre-heating Time |
| *c | Battery Voltage [V] | - | - |
Note
Do not start the engine.
If the result is not as specified, check the ECM, engine coolant temperature sensor, glow plug and glow plug relay.
INSPECT AFTER GLOW TIME
| *a | Front view of wire harness connector (to Glow Plug Relay) |
Remove the glow plug relay.
After the engine starts, measure the length of time that battery voltage remains present.
| After Glow Time | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
*1: After glow time depending on atmospheric pressure and engine coolant temperature.
| *a | Second | *b | After Glow Time |
| *c | Engine Coolant Temperature | - | - |
If the result is not as specified, check the ECM, engine coolant temperature sensor, glow plug and glow plug relay.
