Glow period and warning lamp K29

The glow period and fault warning lamp K29 performs two tasks:
– Indicating the glow period,
a "continuous light" is indicated during the glow period
– Warning of faults which have occurred,
are indicated by a "flashing light".

Actuation
SP 16-41
The warning lamp is activated by the control unit if the preglow
system is operating or if faults have occurred at the following
components:
– Needle lift sender G80
– Engine speed sender G28
– Modulating piston movement sender G149
– Accelerator pedal position sender G79
– Brake pedal switch F/F47
– Quantity adjuster N146
– Commencement of injection valve N108
Self-diagnosis
Faults of this signal are not stored. The check is carried out with
function "03" - Final control diagnosis.

Coolant system heater elements Q7

The auxiliary heater consists of three heating elements and is
screwed onto the coolant connection fitting of the cylinder head
at the clutch side.

Actuation
If the intake manifold temperature is below about 5°C at the
moment the engine is started, the electronic control unit activa-
tes the heating elements Q7 in the coolant circuit through the
relays J359 and J360.
The start temperature is stored. To avoid any discharge of the
battery, one, two or even all three heating elements are supplied
with voltage, depending on the available charge capacity of the
alternator. The alternator features a special connection (terminal
DF) to the control unit for this purpose. The auxiliary heater is
switched off once the coolant has reached a certain tempera-
ture. The cut-off temperature depends on the start temperature.
SP 16-42 The lower the start temperature, the higher the cut-off tempera-
ture.

Self-diagnosis
Faults in the auxiliary heater are not stored. A check of the hea-
ting elements and of the relays is conducted with function "03" -
Final control diagnosis.
