Glow Controller
The controller is located under the right lower corner of
the instrument panel.
Note: Refer to Electrical Schematics and Diagrams at
the beginning of the chapter when troubleshooting the
controller.
Controller Operation
1. When the ignition switch is placed in the RUN posi-
tion, the controller energizes the glow plugs and lights
up the glow lamp for 10 seconds.
Note: On units with serial numbers from 90101 to
90150, the glow controller is not in use when the ignition
switch is turned to start.
2. When the ignition switch is held in the START posi-
tion, the glow plugs will energize while the switch is held
in START and the glow lamp will not light.
3. When the ignition switch is released from START to
RUN, the glow plugs will deenergize and the glow lamp
will remain off.
Controller Checks
1. Make sure there is power from the battery.
2. Disconnect electrical connector to the run solenoid
to prevent the engine from starting.
3. Place ignition switch in the RUN position. Verify the
following while in the RUN position:
A. Glow indicator lamp is on.
B. Glow relay is energized.
C. Glow plugs are energized.
D. Glow indicator lamp goes out and glow plugs
deenergize after 10 seconds.
Note: On units with serial numbers from 90101 to
90150, the glow controller is not in use when the ignition
switch is turned to start.
Note: If there is no power to terminal 1 of the glow con-
troller, verify continuity of the circuitry from the ignition
switch to the controller and perform step 4 again (see
Electrical Schematics and Diagrams in this chapter).

4. Place ignition switch in the START position. Verify
the following while in the START position:
A. Glow indicator lamp is out.
B. Glow relay is energized.
C. Glow plugs are energized.
D. Power to terminal 1 of the glow controller.
5. If any of the conditions in step 3 are not met or power
to terminal 1 exists and any of the other conditions in
step 4 are not met:
A. Verify continuity of the circuitry from the battery to
the glow relay and glow plugs (see Electrical Sche-
matics and Diagrams in this chapter).
B. Verify continuity of the circuitry from the battery to
ignition switch, glow controller, glow lamp, glow
relay, and ground (see Electrical Schematics and
Diagrams in this chapter).
C. Replace parts as necessary.
6. Connect electrical connector to the run solenoid.
