SIEMENS MIS 42.0 AND 43.0
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 OBD
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.
CAUTION-
* The tests in this section may set fault codes (DTCs) in tlie
ECM and illuminate the MIL. After all testing is completed,
access and clear DTC fault
memory using an OBD I/ or
BMW compatible scan tool. See
OBD On-Board Diag-
nostics.
Only use a
dgital multimeter for electrical tests.
Relay positions can vary. Be sure to confirm
relayposi-
tion by identifying the wiring in the socket using the wir-
ing diagrams found in
ELE Electrical Wiring
Diagrams.
NOTE-
- OBD 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
linlc connector
(DLC) is in the right rear of the engine compartment The
20-pin DLC is discontinued on models after
6/2000.
The 1 &pin OBD I1 diagnostic connector (arrow) is located
inside the car on the lower left dash panel.

42.0 and MS 43.0 systems manage the following
functions.

Working inside E-box, disconnect ECM harness connector
(arrow) by releasing fastener and pivoting connector up and
off ECM.
CA UTIOW
Be sure ignition is OFF before disconnecting or reconnecting
DME system components.
Remove ECM from retaining brackets and lift off holder.
Installation is reverse of removal
Before attempting to start engine, use
BMW service tester
DISplus, MoDiC, GTl or equivalent:
* Code replacement ECM with application information (i.e
engine code, transmission type, etc.).
Align ECM to EWS (electronic immobilizer).

ECM pin assignments
ECM pin assignments are given in Table c. For engine man-
agement system schematics, see
ELE Electrical Wiring Di-
agrams.
/ CAUTIOW I
Al~ays wait at least one mfnule after turning off the ignition
before
remov;ng [he connecror irom rhe ECM. If the con-
nector is removed before this time, residual power
in the
system relay may damage the
ECM.
Always connect or disconnect the control module con-
nector and meter probes with the ignition off.
When making checks at the ECM itself, a
breakout box
should be used to allow tests to be made with the connector
attached to the ECM. This also prevents damage to the small
terminals in the connector. As an alternative, the harness
connector housing can be separated so that electrical checks
can be made from the back of the connector.

Fuel Tank and Fuel Pump
Fuel pump
The electric fuel pump is mounted in the fuel tank in tandem
with the right side fuel level sender. The fuel pump delivers
pressurized fuel to the fuel injection system.
A pressure regu-
lator maintains system pressure. The quantity of fuel supplied
exceeds demand, so excess fuel returns to the fuel tank via a
return line. See
130 Fuel Injection for more information.
NOTE-
Fuel pump removal procedures are given under Fuel level
sender (right side) and fuel pump, removing and install-
ing.
Fuel tank evaporative control system
Evaporative control, also referred to as running losses con-
trol, is designed to prevent fuel system evaporative losses
from venting into the atmosphere.
The components of this system allow control and monitoring
of evaporative losses by the on-board diagnostic
(OED II)
software incorporated into the engine control module (ECM).
NOTE-
1997 V-8 models (540i) with Bosch DME M5.2 are not
equipped with an
OBD I1 running losses monitoring system.
Fuel tank evaporative
control system
(models with
DME MS42.0)
4 The main components of the evaporative control system and
their functions:
Fuel overflow
tank acts as a liquidlvapor separator
Carbon canister stores evaporated fuel.
Plumbing ducts vapors from fuel tank to canister and from
canister to intake
manifold.
- Carbon canister purge valve is controlled by enginecontrol
module (ECM).
Running losses or 312-way valve (not shown) shunts ex-
cess fuel volume directly
back to fuel tank before it circu-
lates through injector fuel rail (models with Siemens MS42
or Bosch M5.2.1 engine management only).
Leak detection unit (LDP or DMTL) pressurizes fuel
tank
and evaporative system to monitor system leaks (models
with Siemens MS42 or Bosch M5.2.1 and later).
Leak detection systems vary among models and years, and
are further described in
130 Fuel Injection.
NOTE -
"3/2-way valve", 'tunning losses valve" and "fuel changeover
valve" are used interchangeably
in BMW technical literature.

Fuel pump fuse and relay
Troubleshooting of any fuel pump fault should begin with
checking the fuel pump fuse and the fuel pump relay. The
DME main relay should also be checked. The fuel pump relay
is located behind right side luggage compartment interior
panel.

- Fuse 31 in glove compartment fuse panel supplies power to
coil side of fuel pump relay. Engine control module (ECM)
supplies switched ground to relay. During starting, fuel pump
runs as long as ignition switch is in START position and con-
tinues to run once engine starts. If electrical system fault in-
terrupts power to fuel pump, engine will not run.
. .
Operating fuel pump for tests
- To operate fuel pump for testing purposes without having to
run engine, bypass fuel pump relay to power pump directly.
< To run fuel pump, open luggage compartment and release
right side trim panel.
