ECD SYSTEM - Pre-heating Control Circuit |
DESCRIPTION
The glow plug is mounted inside the engine combustion chamber. To ensure efficient engine starting with a cold engine, the ECM calculates a time interval for the current that needs to flow through the glow plug depending on the starting engine coolant temperature when the ignition switch is turned ON. The ECM then turns on the GLOW relay and permits the current to flow through the glow plug based on the ECM's calculated time. The GLOW relay is then heated, and enhances fuel combustion with a cold engine. This DTC will be set if the glow plug or the circuit is open.- HINT:
- These troubleshooting procedures are for the following conditions: 1) difficulty starting the engine in cold weather, and 2) difficulty driving the vehicle or vehicle malfunctions in cold weather immediately after engine is started.
- After the engine is started, the ECM performs an "after-glow" for a certain period of time. In proportion to the actual engine coolant temperature, the time period varies. The after-glow reduces diesel engine knocking, white smoke emissions and engine noises when the engine is cold.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- NOTICE:
- If the ECM is replaced, the new ECM needs initialization (Toyota Fortuner RM0000012X2005X.html).
1.INSPECT GLOW RELAY (Marking: GLOW) |
Remove the glow relay from the engine room relay block.
Measure the resistance of the relay.
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection
| Specified Condition
|
3 - 5
| 10 kΩ or higher
|
Below 1 Ω (when battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2)
|
Remove the GLOW H-fuse from the engine room junction block.
Measure the resistance of the H-fuse.
- Standard resistance:
- Below 1 Ω
| CHECK FOR SHORT IN ALL HARNESS AND COMPONENTS CONNECTED TO FUSE, AND REPLACE FUSE |
|
|
3.INSPECT GLOW PLUG ASSEMBLY (RESISTANCE) |
Disconnect the glow plug wire.
Measure the resistance of the glow plugs.
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection
| Condition
| Specified Condition
|
Glow plug terminal - Body ground
| 20°C (68°F)
| Approximately 0.95 Ω
|
- HINT:
- If any of the glow plugs has an open malfunction, the engine power is insufficient only when the engine is cold.
- NOTICE:
- Exercise extreme care not to damage the glow plug pipes. Damaging them could cause an open circuit, or shorten the life of the glow plugs.
- Keep the glow plugs free of oil and fuel while cleaning.
- Wipe any oil off of the terminal and Bakelite washer with a clean, dry cloth during inspection.
- Do not apply more than 11 V to the glow plugs as it may cause an open circuit.
| REPLACE GLOW PLUG ASSEMBLY |
|
|
4.CHECK GLOW PLUG ASSEMBLY (INSTALLATION) |
Check the glow plug installation.
- OK:
- Glow plugs are installed securely.
- Torque:
- 13 N*m{130 kgf*cm, 10 ft.*lbf}
5.CHECK WIRE HARNESS (GLOW RELAY (Marking: GLOW) - ECM AND BODY GROUND) |
Disconnect the E4 ECM connector.
Remove the glow relay from the engine room relay block.
Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection
| Specified Condition
|
E4-15 (GREL) - Relay block glow relay terminal 2
| Below 1 Ω
|
Relay block glow relay terminal 1 - Body ground
| Below 1 Ω
|
E4-15 (GREL) - Body ground
| 10 kΩ or higher
|
| REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR |
|
|
6.CHECK WIRE HARNESS (GLOW RELAY (Marking: GLOW) - GLOW PLUG AND BATTERY) |
Remove the glow relay from the engine room relay block.
Disconnect the G1 glow plug connector.
Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection
| Specified Condition
|
Relay block glow relay terminal 3 - Glow plug wire connector
| Below 1 Ω
|
Relay block glow relay terminal 5 - Positive (+) battery terminal cable
| Below 1 Ω

| Specified Condition
|
E4-15 (GREL) - E6-7 (E1)
| Engine coolant temperature 40°C (104°F) or less
| 9 to 14 V
|
8.CHECK ECM (BATT VOLTAGE) |
Measure the voltage of the ECM connectors.
- Standard voltage:
Tester Connection
| Specified Condition
|
E5-2 (BATT) - E6-7 (E1)
| 9 to 14 V
|
| REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR |
