GLOW CONTROL SYSTEM

DescriptionEBS0035J
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
When engine coolant temperature is more than approximately 80°C (176°F), the glow relay turns off.
When coolant temperature is lower than approximately 80°C (176°F):
lIgnition switch ON
After ignition switch has turned to ON, the glow relay turns ON for a certain period of time in relation to
engine coolant temperature, allowing current to flow through glow plug.
lCranking
The glow relay turns ON, allowing current to flow through glow plug.
lSta rting
After engine has started, current continues to flow through glow plug (after-glow mode) for a certain period
in relation to engine coolant temperature.
The glow indicator lamp turns ON for a certain period of time in relation to engine coolant temperature at the
time glow relay is turned ON.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Glow Plug
The glow plug is provided with a ceramic heating element to obtain a
high-temperature resistance. It glows in response to a signal sent
from the ECM, allowing current to flow through the glow plug via the
glow relay.
ECM Terminals and Reference ValueEBS0035K
Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.

PRECAUTIONS
Precautions for Liquid Gasket
EBS009QJ
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING
lAfter removing the mounting bolts and nuts, disconnect and
remove the liquid gasket sealing using a seal cutter.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
lIn areas where the cutter is difficult to use, use a plastic hammer
to lightly tap the areas where the liquid gasket is applied.
CAUTION:
If for some unavoidable reason a tool such as a flat-bladed
screwdriver is used, be careful not to damage the mating sur-
faces.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Using a scraper, remove the old liquid gasket adhering to the
gasket application surface and the mating surface.
lRemove the liquid gasket completely from the groove of the gas-
ket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Wipe the gasket application surface and the mating surface with
white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove adhering
moisture, grease and foreign materials.
3. Attach the liquid gasket to the tube presser.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
4. Apply the gasket without breaks to the specified location with the
specified dimensions.
lIf there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply the
gasket to the groove.
lAs for the bolt holes, normally apply the gasket inside the holes.
If specified, it should be applied outside the holes. Make sure to
read the text of service manual.
lWithin five minutes of gasket application, install the mating com-
ponent.
lIf the liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
lDo not retighten after the installation.
lAfter 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill
the engine oil and coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are specific instructions in the service manual, observe
them.

SERVICE INFORMATION FOR ELECTRICAL INCIDENT
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory installation. Vehi-
cle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide guides)
during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for possible damage or
pinching.
Heat Sensitive
The customer's concern may occur during hot weather or after car
has sat for a short time. In such cases you will want to check for a
heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the
component with a heat gun or equivalent.
Do not heat components above 60°C (140°F).If incident occurs
while heating the unit, either replace or properly insulate the compo-
nent.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car
warms up (winter time). The cause could be related to water freezing
somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for
the owner to leave his car overnight. Make sure it will get cold
enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked outside
overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of
those electrical components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer
long enough for any water to freeze. Reinstall the part into the car
and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs, repair or
replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy
weather. In such cases the incident could be caused by water intru-
sion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking the car
or running it through a car wash.
Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.
Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with
all accessories (including A/C, rear window defogger, radio, fog
lamps) turned on.

Precautions to Handle Retractable Power Door MirrorsEIS000MD
lDo not manually operate retractable power door mirrors. If mirror
is operated manually, be sure to use the retracting switch to
move mirror fully to the opposite direction until it stops. In this
case, a loud click sound is heard, but it is not abnormal. (If mirror
body is manually moved to the neutral position, door mirror will
have some disturbing symptoms during driving, including vibra-
tion, rough retracting movement, or sometimes no retracting.)
CAUTION:
Tilting mirror body forward with excessive force may damage it.
lWhen operating retracting switch to move mirror from the neutral position to the fully-closed (backward
limit) position, at the beginning of the movement a faint click sound is heard, but it is not abnormal.
lRH and LH retractable power door mirror bodies have different mounting angles in the neutral position.
This is why the RH mirror body delays slightly when operated with the retracting switch.
NOTE:
lWhen the retractable power door mirror body is in the neutral position, if retracting switch is operated to
the opening direction while pressing it forward, mirror body is moved to the forward limit position, but it
is not abnormal. In this case, be sure to operate retracting switch to move mirror to the fully-closed
(backward limit) position.
lWhen the retracting switch is operated continuously 5 times or more, the retractable power door mirror
may be inactivated to prevent overheating. In this case, wait for approximately 5 minutes to recover.
