Glow Plug System - ID4 2.2L Diesel - : Item NM LB-FT

The document provides information on the glow plug system for a 2.2L diesel engine used in Volkswagen ID4 vehicles. It describes the key components of the glow plug system including the glow plug control module and glow plugs. It explains that the glow plugs are used to preheat the combustion chambers and provide additional heat while the engine warms up. The glow plug control module controls the glow plugs based on signals from the engine control module. It operates the glow plugs for up to 2.1 seconds during starting and can provide after-glow for up to 500 seconds to help warm the engine.

OVERVIEW

A glow plug is installed between the inlet valves of each cylinder, to:

Preheat the combustion chambers to aid engine starting


Provide additional heat in the combustion chambers while the engine warms up, to reduce emissions and engine
noise.

A glow plug control module, located on the ECM (engine control module) bracket on the engine bulkhead, powers each
glow plug individually. Each glow plug is grounded through its fixing in the cylinder head. Operation of the glow plug
control module is controlled by the ECM, which also controls the illumination of the glow plug warning indicator in the
instrument cluster.

The glow plugs are a low voltage metallic type that operate at a maximum tip temperature of 1050 °C (1922 °F),
achievable within 2 seconds.

OPERATION

Power for the glow plugs is supplied to the glow plug control module from a fusible link in the BJB (battery junction box).
Operating power for the glow plug control module is supplied from the power relay in the BJB while the ignition is on.

The power level applied to the glow plugs by the glow plug control module is contained in an input signal from the ECM.
The glow plug control module incorporates diagnostic functions for the individual glow plugs and reports the diagnostic
status to the ECM.

The ECM uses the signal from the ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor to determine the preheat time. The lower the
temperature, the longer the preheat time. There is a maximum preheat time of 2.1 seconds at -20 °C (-4 °F) or lower. At
temperatures above 20 °C (68 °F) there is no preheat phase. The ECM signals the instrument cluster on the high speed
CAN (controller area network) bus to illuminate the glow plug warning indicator for the duration of the preheat phase.

Once the engine has started, if the engine temperature is less than 70 °C (158 °F) the glow plug system enters an after-
glow phase. The after-glow phase lasts for a maximum of 500 seconds, or until the engine temperature reaches 70 °C
(158 °F). The tip temperature of the glow plugs is reduced as the engine warms up. The ECM uses a glow plug control
map of engine speed against load to determine the optimum tip temperature during the after-glow phase. At high engine
loads the after-glow phase is interrupted to protect the glow plugs and improve their durability.
