Preheating control unit
The g l o w plugs are controlled by the pre-
heating control unit under the direct control
of the electronic control unit.
The unit contains a smart relay w h i c h sends
feedback to the electronic control unit in or-
der to inform it of faults in the preheating unit
or short-circuits in the glow plugs.
The figure shows the connectors located on
the base of the preheating control unit and
the pin-outs.

Air temperature sensor

The intake air temperature sensor is separate
from the air flow meter in this version. It is a
normal
(NTC) sensor: its electric resistance drops as
temperature increases.
Because the control unit input circuit is de-
signed as a voltage divider, this voltage is
distributed between a resistance in the con-
trol unit and the sensor NTC resistance.
The control unit is therefore able to assess
sensor resistance changes through voltage
changes and obtain temperature information.
