When engine coolant temperature is more than approximately

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.
