Glow Plug System - INGENIUM I4 2.0L Diesel (G1809317): Operation: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

There are three phases of glow plug heating:

  1. Pre heating
  2. Crank heating
  3. Post heating

The ECM determines the heating times from the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor. A lower temperature signal from ECT sensor means a longer heating time. If the ECT sensor fails, the ECM uses a predefined temperature as a default value.

The ECM monitors the feedback from the glow plug control module. If the ECM detects a fault, it stores a related Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
