DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch turns ON, the ECM calculates the glow indicator lighting time/heating corresponding to the coolant temperature at that time and turns on the glow indicator light/glow plug relay.
As ceramic is used for glow plug material, the current control is not performed.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
PROCEDURE
CHECK GLOW INDICATOR LIGHT
Turn the ignition switch ON.
Check that the glow indicator light comes on.
| OK |
|---|
| The glow indicator light remains on for 0.5 seconds or more and then goes off. |
| NG |
|
CHECK ECM (GIND VOLTAGE) Click here |
| OK |
|
CHECK GLOW PLUG (INSTALLATION)
Check that the glow plug and glow plug wire are securely installed.
| OK |
|---|
| The glow plug and glow plug wire are securely installed. |
| NG |
|
TIGHTEN GLOW PLUG |
| OK |
|
INSPECT GLOW PLUG
Measure the resistance of the glow plug.
| Standard resistance |
|---|
| 0.72 Ω at 20°C (68°F) |
Tech Tips
The higher the temperature, the smaller the resistance becomes and vice versa.
| NG |
|
REPLACE GLOW PLUG |
| OK |
|
CHECK FOR INDICATOR LIGHTING TIME AND AFTER GLOW TIME
| NG |
|
REPLACE ECM |
| OK |
