When system faults are detected, a diagnostic trouble code
(DTC) is stored in the engine control module (ECM). The MIL
also illuminates if an emissions-related fault is detected.
When faults arise, or
if the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is
illuminated, begin troubleshooting by connecting BMW ser-
vice tester
DISplus. MoDiC, GTI or equivalent scan tool. The
capabilities of
OED II software has the potential to save hours
of diagnostic time and to help avoid incorrect component re-
placement and possible damage to system components.

The tests in this section may set fault codes (DTCs) in the
ECM and illuminate the MIL. After ail testing is completed,
access and clear DTC fault
memory using an OED I/ or
BMW compatible scan tool. See OBD On-Board Diag-
nostics.
Only use a digital
multimeter for electrical tests.
Relay positions can vary. Be sure to confirm relay
posi-
. tion by identifying the wiring in the socket using the wir-
ing diagrams-found in ~~~~lectrical Wiring
Diagrams.
NOTE-
OED I1 fault memory (including an illuminated MIL) can
only be reset
using~the special scan tool. Removing the
connector from the ECM or disconnecting the battery will
not erase the fault
memory.
The BMW-dedicated 20-pin diagnostic link connector
(DLC) is in the right rear of the engine compartment.
The 16-pin OBD
I1 diagnostic connector (arrow) is located
inside the car on
the lower left dash panel.

ECM relay, testing
The engine control module (ECM) relay is energized via the
ECM and supplies battery positive
(B+) power to many of the
engine
management components and subsystems. If this re-
lay is faulty, the engine will not start.

Relay positions can vary. Be sure to confirm relay position by
identifying the wiring
in the socket using the wiring diagrams
in ELE Electrical Wiring Diagrams.
NOTE-
The ECM relay is also referred to as the DME main relay.

Oxygen sensors, checking
The oxygen sensor provides an input voltage signal [0.2 vdc
(lean) to 0.8 vdc (rich)] to the
ECM based on the oxygen con-
tent in the exhaust gas. To generate voltage, the sensor tem-
perature must exceed 575"
F (300" C). Therefore the sensor
is electrically heated.
NO JE -
The test given below is not a conclusive test of oxygen sen-
sor efficiency and does not test how the oxygen sensor re-
acts to changing conditions. Pin numbers and wire colors
can vary Always check the wiring diagrams to confirm wire
color and pin assignment.
0 The oxygen sensorconnectorplugs are locatednext to the
catalytic converters.
With connector attached to sensor, connect digital voltmeter
between
A and B wires in connector.
WARNING -
Exhaust manifolds andpipes can be hot enough to cause se-
rious burns. Wear suitable heavy gloves and other appropri-
ate protection.
NOJE-
Connector style may vary depending on system application.
Consult wiring diagram for system-specific wiring. See
ELE
Electrical Wiring Diagrams.
Start engine.
A fluctuating voltage signal should show on the
meter.
If voltage is incorrect, turn engine off and check pre-
heater circuit as described below.
NOJE-
To check sensor response to lean and rich mixtures, create
an air leak.
Oxygen sensor
voltage at idle
- Connect digital voltmeterbetween sensor heaterwires (white
wires,
C and D). Start engine and check for battery voltage.
If voltage is not present, check oxygen sensor heater fuses.
0.2 to 0.8 vdc fluctuating
NOJE-
The oxygen sensor heater is powered via fusedpositive (+)
battery voltage and a switchedground from the ECM. See
ELE Electrical Wiring Diagrams for specific circuit informa-
tion.
- The ground side of the oxygen sensor heater circuit is pulsed
on and off by the
DME control module.

I Fuel Injection ldle speed control valve,
testing and replacing
ldle speed is maintained by the ECM through the idle speed
control valve. The idle control function compensates for en-
gine load and engine operating conditions. ldle speed is
adaptive through the ECM and no adjustments can be made.
Before checking valve, confirm that throttle position sensor is
working correctly.
NOTE-
The test given below is an electrical check only. It does not
check the mechanical operation of the valve. If the valve is
sticking, hanging up or is sluggish in operation, substituting a
Inown good valve is the best way to check it.
With engine running, check that idle speed control valve is
buzzing.
Turn on
AIC or shift car into drive. ldle should remain steady
or increase slightly.
If valve is not buzzing, or if idle decreases in step above, stop
engine and disconnect harness connector from valve.
4 Check resistance of valve across its terminals. Test values
are listed below.
ldle speed control valve coil resistance
Terminals
1 and 2 20 +2%
Terminals 2 and 3 20 +2Q
Terminals 1 and 3 40 +4%
NOTE-
If you suspect an intermittent fault, lightly tap the valve while
testing resistance.
With valve harness connector disconnected, check for bat-
tery voltage at redlwhite wire in connector with ignition on.
If . ~~ ~~
there is no voltage, check wiring between connector and 7 ECM relay. See ELE Electrical Wiring Diagrams.
NOTE- - The idle speed control valve receivespositive (+) battery volt-
age from the ECM (DME main) relay
