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.
