Glow Plug Replacement Without CTF

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.
