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 6-7.5 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. |
