FACOM UNITED KINGDOM | - NEW GLOW PLUG TESTER

Connect the two leads of the multimeter together, making sure the metal clamps/pins on the leads touch each other, and record the result. If you are using a digital multimeter, the precise reading will appear across the screen. At this point you may be able to use your multimeter’s calibration function to adjust the reading to zero. Hard to start – this could mean the engine is slow to start in warm weather or fails to start in cold weather. However, this can also be a symptom of a problem in the fuel system or battery. Your glow plugs work hard under extreme temperatures to start your engine, regardless of the weather, that’s why your car deserves the best.

Example waveform

A multimeter may be analog or digital. Analog multimeters have a changing display, which means they can show you the current fluctuation. Digital multimeters show a definitive figure, which means they have a difficult time measuring current that is constantly changing. However, digital multimeters are more accurate overall than analog meters. Analog meters can also apply higher voltage to the circuit digital meters, so use them with care. There is usually a cover or cap over the glow plugs. Removing this will allow you to apply the multimeter clamps to the glow plugs. Look at the connector and pins for any signs of rust, corrosion or looseness. Take this opportunity to clean them. This alone could have a beneficial effect.

A change to a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal with an initial peak voltage around 23 A reducing to 20 A after around 8 s. Read the result off the multimeter display. Note that a resistance of less than 6Ω usually means the glow plug is ‘good’.While you can still drive with one broken glow plug, you’ll find it extremely difficult to start your car as soon as two or more glow plugs malfunction even if the weather is warm. It’s important to note that a problem starting your car can also be a symptom of a problem in the fuel system or battery. Evaluate the multimeter’s reading. Refer to your shop manual to determine the test specs for your vehicle. If one or more of your glow plugs is defective, it will allow diesel to leak into the exhaust pipe. As the exhaust heats up, the leaked fuel will burn and produce white exhaust smoke. This will only last for a few minutes after you start the engine.
