The glow plug controller is a timer. When voltage is
applied to the glow plug controller, it provides the ground
for the glow plug relay coil, which activates, supplying
current to the engine glow plugs. This is maintained for
approximately 10 seconds in the ignition RUN position.
In the ignition START position the glow plug controller is
continuously on until the ignition switch moves back to
the RUN position.
