1. Disconnect the glow plug connector.
2. Measure the resistance between the glow plug
terminal and the body, or the glow plug terminal
and the cylinder head.
Standard value: 0.6
− 1.4 Ω (at 20°C)
SELF-REGULATING GLOW SYSTEM CHECK <EXCEPT EURO5>
M1164001000260
SELF-REGULATING GLOW SYSTEM CHECK
1. Check that the battery voltage is 11
− 13 V.
2. Check that the engine coolant temperature is
40
°C or less.
NOTE: If the engine coolant temperature is too
high, disconnect the engine coolant temperature
sensor connector.

3. Measure the resistance between the glow plug
plate and the glow plug body (earth).
Standard value: 0.15
− 0.25 Ω (at 20°C)
NOTE: The resistance value is the parallel resist-
ance value for the four glow plugs.
4. Connect a voltmeter between the glow plug plate
and the glow plug body (earth).
5. Measure the voltage immediately after the ignition
switch is turned to ON (without starting the
engine).
Standard value: 9
− 11 V (Drops to 0 V after 4
− 8 seconds have passed)
In addition, check to be sure that the glow indicator
lamp (red) illuminates immediately after the ignition
switch is turned to ON.
NOTE: The time during which the voltage appears
(energizing time) will depend on the engine cool-
ant temperature.
6. Measure the voltage while the engine is cranking.
Standard value: 6 V or more
7. Start the engine and measure the voltage while
the engine is warming up.
However, if the engine coolant temperature rises
above 60
°C or when 180 seconds have passed
since the engine was started, the voltage will
always return to 0 V (Refer to the Glow Plug
Energization Timing Chart).
Standard value: 12
− 15 V
