Circuit Description

The glow plug system is used to assist in providing heat required to begin combustion during engine starting at cold ambient temperatures. Glow plugs are heated before and during cranking, as well as during engine operation. Engine Control Module (ECM) controls glow plug ON times by monitoring coolant temperatures and glow plug voltage. This system check will check glow plugs and Glow Plug Feed circuit coming from relay/controller.
