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 of the current that needs to flow through the glow plug depending on the starting engine coolant temperature when the engine switch is turned ON (IG). 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:
  1. These troubleshooting procedures are for: 1) difficult starting engine in cold weather, and 2) difficulty driving/vehicle malfunctions in cold weather immediately after engine is started.
  2. 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:
After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (Click here) and initialization (Click here).
1.INSPECT GLOW RELAY


    Lexus Is250, Is220D. Gse20 Ale20
  1. Remove the GLOW relay from the engine room R/B.

  1. Measure the resistance of the relay.

    Standard resistance:
    Tester Connection
    Specified Condition
    3 - 5
    10 kΩ or higher
    3 - 5
    Below 1 Ω
    (when battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2)


NG
REPLACE GLOW RELAY
OK


2.INSPECT DIESEL GLW FUSE


    Lexus Is250, Is220D. Gse20 Ale20.2Ad-Fhv Engine Control System.Ecd System.Ecd System  Pre-Heating Control Circuit
  1. Remove the DIESEL GLW fuse from the engine room No. 1 R/B.

  1. Measure the resistance of the fuse.

    Standard resistance:
    Below 1 Ω


NG
REPLACE FUSE
OK


3.INSPECT GLOW PLUG ASSEMBLY (RESISTANCE)


    Lexus Is250, Is220D. Gse20 Ale20
  1. Disconnect the glow plug wire.

  1. 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 circuit, the engine power will be insufficient only when the engine is cold.
    NOTICE:
    1. 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.
    2. Keep the glow plugs free of oil and fuel while cleaning.
    3. Wipe any oil off of the terminal and Bakelite washer with a clean, dry cloth during inspection.
    4. Do not apply more than 11 V to the glow plugs as it may cause an open circuit.


NG
REPLACE GLOW PLUG ASSEMBLY
OK


4.CHECK GLOW PLUG ASSEMBLY (INSTALLATION)
  1. Check the glow plug installation.

    OK:
    Glow plugs are installed securely.
Torque:
13 N*m{130 kgf*cm, 10 ft.*lbf}


NG
TIGHTEN GLOW PLUG
OK


5.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (GLOW RELAY - ECM, GLOW RELAY - BODY GROUND)


    Lexus Is250, Is220D. Gse20 Ale20.2Ad-Fhv Engine Control System.Ecd System.Ecd System  Pre-Heating Control Circuit
  1. Disconnect the E59 ECM connector.

  1. Remove the GLOW relay.
