SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Crankshaft position sensor (TDC)cEngine speed
ECMcGlow relaycGlow plugs
Engine coolant temperature sensorcEngine coolant temperaturecGlow lamp
When engine coolant temperature is more than 90ÉC (194ÉF), the glow relay turns off, inactivating the quick-
glow control until coolant temperature drops below 70ÉC (158ÉF).
When coolant temperature is lower than 90ÉC (194ÉF):
+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 ¯ow through glow plug.
+Cranking
The glow relay turns ON, allowing current to ¯ow through glow plug.
+Starting
After engine has started, current continues to ¯ow through glow plug (after-glow mode) for a certain period
in relation to engine coolant temperature.
When engine speed exceeds 2,400 rpm, current ¯ow through glow plug is interrupted.
The glow lamp turns ON for a certain period of time in relation to engine coolant temperature at the time glow
relay is turned ON.
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 ¯ow through the glow plug via the
glow relay.

INSPECTION END
SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK
Set voltmeter between glow plug and engine body.
1. Quick-glow (Pre-glow) system
a. Turn ignition switch ``ON''.
b. Read voltage.
Voltage:
Battery voltage for about 20* seconds
* Engine coolant temperature is lower than 90ÉC
(194ÉF). [It is lower than 70ÉC (158ÉF) after
warm-up.]
* Repeating ignition switch ``ON'' and ``OFF'' may
change the time.
2. Quick-glow (Cranking) system
a. Disconnect ``S'' terminal for starter motor to prevent engine
from cranking.
b. Read voltage when ignition switch is turned to ``START''.
Voltage:
Battery voltage*
* For about 20 seconds after returning ignition
switch to ``ON''.

3. After-glow system
a. Connect ``S'' terminal to starter motor.
b. Start engine and read voltage.
Voltage:
Battery voltage for 5* minutes
* Engine coolant temperature is lower than 50ÉC
(122ÉF).
COMPONENT INSPECTION
Glow relay
1. Check relay for coil continuity.
Continuity should exist.
2. Check relay for proper operation.
Coil voltage Continuity Contact point
0V No OFF
12V Yes ON
Glow plug
1. Remove glow plug connecting plate.
2. Check each glow plug for continuity.
Continuity should exist:
Approximately 0.8W[at 25ÉC (77ÉF)]
+If NG, replace glow plug.
3. Install glow plug connecting plate securely.
+Do not bump glow plug heating element. If it is bumped,
replace glow plug with new one. (If glow plug is dropped
from a height of 10 cm (3.94 in), replace with new one.)
+If glow plug installation hole is contaminated with carbon,
remove using a reamer or suitable tool.
+Hand-tighten glow plug by turning it two to three times,
then tighten using a tool to speci®ed torque.

The ECM receives signals sent from the engine coolant tempera-

air ¯ow sensor and accelerator position sensor to determine engine
speed and operating conditions. Based on these signals, the ECM
controls EGR control solenoid valve (A and B) operation and
throttle control solenoid valve operation.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The EGRC-solenoid valves A and B control vacuum pressure act-
ing on the EGR valve. The EGR control valve will then be fully
opened, half-opened or fully closed, as required.
The throttle control solenoid valve controls vacuum pressure acting
on the throttle chamber. Thus, intake air passages are opened or
closed in relation to exhaust gas and intake air. Utilizing the rela-
tionship between exhaust gas pressure and intake air pressure
control, the amount of EGR (exhaust gas recirculated) is regulated
in three stages Ð large, medium, small.

Heat Up Switch
The heat up switch is located on the lower side of the instrument
panel. This switch is used to speed up the heater's operation when
the engine is cold.
When the ECM received the heat up switch ``ON'' signal, the ECM
increases the engine idle speed to 1,100 - 1,200 rpm to warm up
engine quickly.
This system works when all conditions listed below are met.
Heat up switch ON
Engine coolant temperature Below 70ÉC (158ÉF)
Shift lever ``P'' or ``N''
Accelerator pedal Fully released
Vehicle speed Below 4 km/h (2 MPH)
