Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:
If a glow plug is replaced and the tip is missing or burned off, the cylinder head must be removed and all debris be cleaned out of the cylinder.
- Ignition ON.
- Glow plugs not commanded ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the appropriate Glow Plug Supply Voltage circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If the test lamp illuminates
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K34 Glow Plug Control Module
- Ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the appropriate glow plug supply voltage circuit and ground
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage in the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, replace the K34 Glow Plug Control Module.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate
- Command the Glow Plugs ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp does not turn ON and OFF
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K34 Glow Plug Control Module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the appropriate glow plug supply voltage circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground in the circuit.
- If infinite resistance.
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the glow plug supply voltage circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the K34 Glow Plug Control Module.
- If the test lamp turns ON and OFF
- Replace the appropriate E12 Glow Plug.
