1.05L REVOTORQ ENGINE
166
Test Procedure
Use a d 3-½ digit Digital Multi meter (DMM)
for measuring the resistance
Immerse the sensor in a water bath such
that its terminals are facing upwards and
outside the water level.
Ensure that, around 50% of the hexagonal
flange thickness should lie below the water.
Boil the water and wait for 10 minutes after
boiling temperature of 100 deg c is reached.
This will ensure that the temperature is
stabilized.
Measure the resistance value with the DMM
at 100 Deg C resistance of the sensor
should be 199.6 +/- 9.3 Ohms.
xv. GLOW PLUG :
Glow Plug is a pencil-shaped piece of
metal with a heating element at the tip, heats due
to electrical resistance and begins to emit light in
the visible spectrum, hence the term "Glow" plug.
The heat generated by the glow plugs is directed
into the cylinders and serves to warm the engine
block immediately surrounding the cylinders. This
aids in reducing the amount of thermal diffusion
which will occur when the engine attempts to start.

Inspection of Glow Plugs :
Check glow plugs for short circuits and or
for burning. Replace them if necessary.
