The glow plug control module is integrated in the engine control module (ECM) and is a solid state device which operates the glow plugs. The temperature and the power consumption is controlled within a wide range to suit the engine pre-heating requirements. The glow plug initial ON time will vary based on the system voltage and temperature. Lower temperatures cause longer ON times.
