next page.
INSPECTION END
Perform FINAL CHECK by the following procedure after
repair is completed.
1. Warm up engine. Run the vehicle for at least 20 minutes. Pay
attention to engine coolant temperature gauge on the instru-
ment panel. If the reading shows an abnormally high
temperature, another part may be malfunctioning.
2. Stop vehicle and let engine idle. Check the intake and
exhaust systems for leaks by listening for noise or visually
inspecting the components.
3. Allow engine to cool and visually check for oil and coolant
leaks. Then, perform ªOVERALL FUNCTION CHECKº.

Glow Control System
When coolant temperature is lower than 75ÉC (167ÉF):
lIgnition switch ON
After ignition switch has been turned to ON, the glow relay
turns ON for a period of time depending on engine coolant
temperature, allowing current to flow through the glow plugs.
lStarting
After starting the engine, current will flow through the glow
plugs for 300 seconds, or until the coolant temperature
exceeds 50ÉC (122ÉF).
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Glow plug
The glow plug is provided with a ceramic heating element to
obtain a high-temperature resistance. It glows in response to a
signal sent from the ECM, allowing current to flow through the
glow plug via the glow relay.

Air conditioner switchEAir conditioner ªONº signalEEGRC-solenoid valve
Engine coolant temperature sensorEEngine coolant temperature
Atmospheric pressure sensor
EAtmospheric pressure
Mass air flow sensor
EMass air flow
The ECM receives signals sent from the engine coolant tempera-
ture sensor, crankshaft position sensor (TDC), atmospheric pres-
sure sensor, mass air flow sensor and air conditioner switch to
determine engine speed and operating conditions. Based on
these signals, the ECM controls the EGR control solenoid valve
operation.
No EGR operation will take place when the engine coolant tem-
perature is below 70ÉC (158ÉF), when idling, at starting and dur-
ing a period of time after starting the engine (70 - 200 seconds,
depending on engine coolant temperature).

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The EGR control solenoid valves control vacuum pressure act-
ing on the EGR valve. The EGR control valve will then be fully
opened or fully closed, as required.
Thus, intake air passages are opened or closed in relation to
exhaust gas and intake air. Utilizing the relationship between
exhaust gas pressure and intake air pressure control, the amount
of EGR (exhaust gas recirculated) is regulated in large or small
volumes.
