Code No. P064C: Glow Control Unit Malfunction <Euro5b>




OPERATION



  • The electrical current source is supplied from the engine control relay (terminal No. 3) to the glow control unit (terminal No. 6). Also, it is supplied from the glow control unit (terminal No. 7) to the body earth.
  • The request signal of operating the glow plug is input into the glow control unit (terminal No. 1) from the engine-ECU (terminal No.120).
  • The voltage for the glow plug is applied from the battery to the glow control unit (terminal No.10).
  • The voltage is applied from the glow control unit (terminal No.1, 2, 3 and 4) to each glow plug.
  • The diagnosis signal is output from the glow control unit (terminal No. 9) to the engine-ECU (terminal No.126).

FUNCTION



  • The voltage applied to the glow control unit (terminal No.10) from the battery is applied to each glow plug in the duty ratio according to the signal from the engine ECU.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT


Check Conditions
  • While the engine is running
  • The electrical continuity duty to the glow plug is 17 - 83 %.
Judgment Criterion
  • When a failure of the glow control unit body is detected.

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Failed glow control unit
  • Open/short circuit or harness damage in glow plug power supply circuit or loose connector contact.
  • Failed engine-ECU

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Connector check: A-151 glow control unit connector

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2.

Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 2. Perform voltage measurement at A-151 glow control unit connector.


  • Disconnect connector, and measure at harness side.
  • Voltage between terminal No.10 and earth.
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.


    Check and repair harness between A-151 (terminal No.10) glow control unit connector and battery (fusible link 24).

    • Check power supply line for open/short circuit.

STEP 3. Check harness between A-151 (terminal No. 10) glow control unit connector and battery (fusible link 24).


  • Check power supply line for damage.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 4.

Repair the damaged harness wire.

STEP 4. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code.

  • Reconfirmation of diagnosis code.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?
Go to Step 5.
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service points - How to Cope with intermittent Malfunctions ).

STEP 5. Replace the glow control unit.

  • After replacing the glow control unit, reconfirm whether the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?
Replace the engine-ECU. When the engine-ECU is replaced, write the chassis number (Refer to GROUP 00 - Precautions Before Service - How to Perform Chassis Number Writing ). After replacing the engine-ECU, register the injector identification code and learn fuel injection (Refer to GROUP 00 - Precautions Before Service - What The Common Rail Engine Learns ). After registering the injector identification code, carry out the forcible DPF regeneration. (Refer to GROUP 17 - Emission Control - Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) System - Forcible DPF Regeneration ).
Check is end.
