14. GLOW PLUGS

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 cyl-

inders 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.

LOCATION

INSPECTION OF GLOW PLUGS

Check glow plugs for short circuits and or for burn-

ing. Replace them if necessary.

Testing of Glow Plugs

1. Clean the glow plugs.

2. Connect the electrodes of measuring device to

the glow plug as shown in below figure.

3. If the resistance value is around

∞

Ω the glow

plug is defective.

4. If the resistance Value is below

5Ω

, the glow

plug is Ok.
