1. Overview
The pre-heating system for D20DTF engine has the glow plug to the cylinder head (combustion
chamber), and improves the cold start performance and reduces the emission level.
The pre-heating resistor (air heater) is used to heat the intake air.
This enables the diesel fuel to be ignited in low temperature condition.
The ECU receives the information such as, engine rpm, coolant temperature, engine torque,
etc., through CAN communication during pre-heating process; and the pre-heating control unit
controls the pre-heating, heating during cranking and post-heating by the PWM control.

4) Operation
Glow plug is installed in the cylinder head. It enhances the cold starting performance and
reduces the exhaust gas during cold starting.
(1) Operation

▶ Pre-Glow: Step 1
If normal communication with the ECU is established 2 seconds after the power is supplied to the
IGN terminal from the battery, the GCU supplies the battery power to raise the temperature of the
glow plug to 1000℃ by the pre-heating request from the engine ECU before starting.
- The time for pre-heating is controlled by the ECU.
1. If the input power (VB) is 11.5 V or less, the GCU supplies the battery power for arrival time
(T1).
2. If the input power (VB) is greater than 11.5 V, the GCU supplies the voltage of 11.5 V for
arrival time (T1).
The time for pre-heating by coolant temperature can vary slightly depending on e.g. other
vehicle operation elements.
The total time for pre-heating should be 30 seconds or less. If this time is over, the resistor
goes OFF until the post-heating is started. If the starting is failed and the engine is stopped, the
start key should be turned OFF and then ON to initialize the pre-heating process.

1. Step 2: If the ECU receives the cranking signal after pre-heating (step 1), the GCU supplies
the voltage of 6.8 V for 1 sec to raise the temperature to 1,100℃.
2. Step 3: The GCU supplies the voltage of 5.1 V to keep the temperature at 1,000°C.
* Under fixed temperature: The AQGS unit supplies power for 30 seconds (Step 1 + Step 3)
if no cranking signal is received after the step 1.
* At cranking: The step 3 is started after the step 2.
▶ Post-glow: Step 4:
The post-heating is for reducing HC/CO after the engine is started. If the time for post-heating
exceeds 180 sec., the GCU unit cuts off the power to each glow plug even if there is pre-
heating request from the engine ECU.

▶ Emergency glow
If no CAN signal is received for 4 seconds from the engine ECU after the IGN ON signal is
input, the GCU performs emergency preheat (Step 3) for 30 seconds.
