Brakes
The brake booster is mounted to the bulkhead on driver's side
of the engine compartment, directly behind the brake master
cylinder. Intake manifold vacuum acts on a large diaphragm
in the brake booster to reduce brake pedal effort.
Brake booster check valve
The checlc valve in the bralte booster vacuum line prevents
contamination from engine backfires and other sources from
entering the bralte booster.
Location of
check valve varies, depending on year and mod-
el.
4 6-cylinder models (528i):
1. Intake manifold
2 Hose clamp
3. Vacuum line
4. Upper hose bracket
5. Grommet 6. From 911998: Check valve in grommet in booster.
Remove left ventilation filter housing for access.
7. To 911 998: Check valve in vacuum hose. Remove left
ventilation filter housing, peel back trim rubber below
housing and
unclip upper hose brackets to access hose
clamps and valve.
8. Lower hose
bracket
9. Brake master cylinder
10. Brake booster
< 6-cylinder models (525i, 530i): Remove left ventilation filter
housing to access
checlc valve.
1. Vacuum hose
2. Hose clamp
3. Hose bracket
4. Check valve in grommet in booster
5.
Braite master cylinder
6. Grommet
7. Brake booster
4 V-8 models (540i) to 911998: Check valve (arrow) in vacuum
line behind left cylinder head.
- V-8 models (540i) from 911998: Checkvalve in brake booster.
Remove left ventilation filter housing to access valve.

Brakes
- Pump brake pedal a few times to reduce vacuum in brake
booster. This makes removal of
check valve easier.
- Remove or loosen hose clamp(s) at check valve.
- Disconnect hoses. Remove valve to test or replace.
NOTE-
If valve is pressed into grommet in vacuum booster, pry it out
carefully.
- Reinstall valve using new hose clamps
NOTE-
Install the valve so that the molded arrow is pointing toward
the intake manifold.

CAUTIO&
All E39 vehicles sold in the USA are equipped with Antiloclc
Braking System (ABS) and either Automatic Stability Control
(ASC) or Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). In order for the
bralchg and stability controls to work properk if brake fluid
lines are disconnected and reconnected,
male sure that the
brake system is bled by an authorized BMW dealer or other
qualified repair facility using the BMW Service Tester: See
Brake Bleeding earlier in this group.
- Disconnect negative (-) cable from battery.
I CAUTION- I
Prior to disconnecting the battery read the battery discon-
nection cautions given in
001 General Cautions and
I Warnings. I
- Remove bralte master cylinder as described earlier.
- Disconnect engine vacuum hose from bralte booster.

DTCs provide a freeze frame or snap-shot of a vehicle
performance or emissions fault at the moment that the fault
first occurs. This information is accessible through generic
OED I1 scan tools.
Freeze frame data contains, but is not limited to, the following
information:
Engine load (calculated)
Engine rpm
Short and
long term fuel trim
Vehicle speed
Coolant temperature Intake manifold pressure
Open/closed loop operation
Fuel pressure (if available)
