Glow Plug Replacement Without CTF
Inspection Procedure
The glow plugs can be tested in 2 ways:
• |
Take an amperage draw test with an inductive pick-up lead at each glow plug. The rated amp draw should be 3.0-4.5 amps per glow plug. Or install the
inductive current clamp around the glow plug power supply wire. Take the systems current draw reading and divide the reading by the number of glow plugs in the system. |
• |
A continuity test can also be made with an ohmmeter between the glow plug lead and ground, with the buss bars removed. If no continuity
exists, the glow plug will not heat and should be replaced. |
Removal Procedure
- Remove the air cleaner layer. Refer to
Air Cleaner Replacement
.
- If required, remove the engine cover. Refer to
Engine Cover Replacement
.
Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing
any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to
the vehicle or its components.
- Disconnect the negative battery cables.
- Disconnect the glow plug power supply wire.
- Disconnect the glow plug buss bar.
- If removing the #6 glow plug, remove the #6 injector pipe. Refer to

Installation Procedure
Notice: Refer to Component Fastener Tightening Notice in the Preface section.
- Install the glow plugs to the cylinder head.
Tighten
Tighten the glow plugs to 20 N·m (15 lb ft).
- If required, install the #6 injector pipe to the #6 injector. Refer to
Fuel Injector Replacement
.
- Install the glow plug buss bar.
Tighten
Tighten the glow plug buss bar to 1.2 N·m (11 lb in).
- Connect the glow plug power supply wire.
- Connect the negative battery cables.
- If required, install the engine cover. Refer to
Engine Cover Replacement

Glow Plug Replacement With CTF
Inspection Procedure
The glow plugs can be tested in 2 ways:
• | Perform an amperage draw test with an inductive pickup lead at each glow plug. The rated amp draw should be 6.0-7.5 amps per glow plug. Or install the inductive current clamp around the glow plug power supply wire. Take the system's current
draw reading and divide the reading by the number of glow plugs in the system. |
• |
A continuity test can also be made with an ohmmeter between the glow plug lead and ground with the buss bars removed. If no continuity exists, the glow
plug will not heat and should be replaced. |
