This document page details the electrical system for a diesel engine's start/glow plug control.
32 START/GLOW PLUG CONTROL/RUN (DIESEL) HOW THE CIRCUIT WORKS The Diesel Start/Glow Plug Control Circuit applies powertotheGIowPlugsthch heatthe combustion chambers, 50 that the cold diesel engine can be started. Glow Plug Control The solid state Glow Plug Controller Is at- tached to the top of the engine block. It controls glow plug pre-glow and after-glow time. The Glow Plug Controller controls the clrcuit's opera tion by sensing engine temperature, glow plug voltage, and after-glow voltage from start/run clrcult. When the Ignition Switch is turned to RUN, voltage Irom Fuse Link V is applied through the Glow Plug Controller to the Glow Plugs Walt to Start Indicator Lamp. The glow plugs are heated from zero to Ilfteen seconds. depending on engine coolant temperature. After thls time, the controller cyc- ling swltoh opens and turns OFF the Glow Plugs Wait to Start Indicator Lamp. The Glow Plugs are now warm enough tor the engine to be started. At the same time the Ignition Switch ls turned to Run, voltage from Fuse Llnk V ls applied to the After-Glow Tlmer (located Inside the Glow Plug Controller). The After-Glow Tlmer cycles the Glow Plugs for up to two minutes, depending on engine temperature. The After-Glow Timer then opens. The Walt to Start Indicator Lamp will not light during AfterGlow period. II the ignition switch is turned OFF, it can be turned ON immediately and the Glow Plug heating cycle will start again. Diesel Start/Run The diesel engine uses two batteries to pro vide extra power for starting and glow plug heating. Power is applied from the batteries through heavy gauge wires to the Starter Sole- noid in the Starter motor assembly. When the COMPONENT LOCATION Cold Advance Solenoid . .
