When engine coolant temperature is more than approximately
75ÉC (167ÉF), the glow relay turns off.
When coolant temperature is lower than approximately 75ÉC
(167ÉF):
+Ignition switch ON
After ignition switch has turned to ON, the glow relay turns ON
for a certain period of time in relation to engine coolant
temperature, allowing current to flow through glow plug.
+Cranking
The glow relay turns ON, allowing current to flow through glow
plug.
+Starting
After engine has started, current continues to flow through
glow plug (after-glow mode) for a certain period in relation to
engine coolant temperature.
The glow indicator lamp turns ON for a certain period of time in
relation to engine cooalnt temperature at the time glow relay is
turned ON.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONNJEC0760S02Glow PlugNJEC0760S0201The 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.

ECM Terminals and Reference ValueNJEC0761Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.

This system controls flow rate of EGR led from exhaust manifold
to intake manifold. The opening of the EGR by-pass passage in the
EGR volume control valve changes to control the flow rate. A
built-in step motor moves the valve in steps corresponding to the
ECM output pulses. The opening of the valve varies for optimum
engine control. The optimum value stored in the ECM is determined
by considering various engine conditions.
The EGR volume control valve remains close under the following
conditions.
+Engine stopped
+Engine starting
+Low engine coolant temperature
+Excessively high engine coolant temperature
+High engine speed
+Wide open throttle

COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONNJEC0764S02EGR Volume Control ValveNJEC0764S0201The EGR volume control valve uses a step motor to control the flow
rate of EGR from exhaust manifold. This motor has four winding
phases. It operates according to the output pulse signal of the
ECM. Two windings are turned ON and OFF in sequence. Each
time an ON pulse is issued, the valve opens or closes, changing
the flow rate. When no change in the flow rate is needed, the ECM
does not issue the pulse signal. A certain voltage signal is issued
so that the valve remains at that particular opening.
