3) Burning-out of glow plug
When only one line is burned out, it has no effect on the start up of the engine. Even if one line is burned out,
judging from the characteristics of the glow plug, the impressed voltage will change only slightly. Therefore, no
judgment can be made by normal testing while the glow plug is installed. In order to check for disconnections
and burn-outs, the glow plugs will have to be removed from the connectors and checked one by one for
continuity.
