MS 43.0 throttle valve assembly, replacing
The electronic throttle valve assembly forthe MS43.0 system
is referred to as
EDK (electronic throttle valve). There is no
mechanical (cable) link between the accelerator pedal and
the throttle plate.
< The accelerator pedal module (PWG) at the pedal assembly
communicates the pedal position directly to the ECM. The
module provides two variable voltage signals (via two Hail
sensors) to the ECM for pedal position and rate of movement.
NOTE-
The EDK unit is non-adjustable and must be replaced as a
complete unit if found to be faulty
If replacing the
EDK unit, the adaptation values stored in
the
ECM must be cleared and the new unit initialized using
BMW special service tools.
CAUTIOIG
If the adaptation process is not completed correctk the en-
qine will not start
- Disconnect battery negative (-) cable in luggage compart-
ment.
CAUTION-
Prior to disconnecting the battery, read the battery discon-
nection cautions given in
001 General Warnings and Cau-
tions.
< Remove complete air filter housing:
- Disconnect electrical harness connector on mass air flow
sensor
(A).
Disconnect vacuum line at intake boot (6).
Loosen intaite air duct clamp (C).
Remove filter housing mounting screws.
Disconnect air duct and lift complete air filter housing and
MAF sensor out of engine compartment, pulling it forward
away from throttle housing.

Throttle cable, adjusting
(MS 42.0)
The throttle assembly on MS 42.0 cars uses a throttle cable.
The cable should be adjusted any time it is disconnected or
replaced. This procedure requires the factory scan tool or an
equivalent to read and adjust throttle angle. It is recommend-
ed the procedure be done by an authorized
BMW dealer ser-
vice department
Basic adjustment:
Ensure that at idle (accelerator pedal in rest position) throt-
tle cable has detectable play at throttle lever attaching
point. Play must not exceed maximum allowable.
Adjust by turning knurled adjuster
(arrow) on end of throt-
tle cable sheath at throttle housing.
NOTE-
Faulty throttle adjustment values must be reset using the
BMW service tester
DISplus, MoDiC, GTI or equivalent.

ldle speed control valve,
checking and replacing
3 mm (0.125 in)
The Idle speed control valve regulates Idle speed by red~rect-
ing air around the throttle valve. The ldle speed control valve
is mounted
d~rectly above the throttle housing. Accessing the
valve is best accomplished by
flrst removing the air fllter
housing and associated ducting.
Thevalve is supplied with batteryvoltage from the ECM relay.
The idle speed control valve incorporates a two-coil rotary ac-
tuator. The ground sides of each coil are pulsed simulta-
neously by the ECM. The duty cycle of each circuit is varied to
achieve the required idle speed.
A faulty idle speed control valve sets a fault code and the MIL
is illuminated when
OED II fault criteria are exceeded.
Before checking the idle speed control valve, confirm that the
throttle position sensor is working correctly.
- With engine running, check that idle speed control valve is
buzzing.
- Turn on AIC system or shift transmission into drive. ldle
should remain steady or increase slightly.
- If idle speed valve is not buzzing, or if idle decreases when
AIC is turned on, stop engine and disconnect harness con-
nector from idle speed valve.

Intake air temperature
([AT) sensor,
testing and replacing
Disconnect harness connector from intake air temperature
sensor
(A) at air filter housing.
Turn ignition on. Using a digital voltmeter, check for
5 volts
between supply voltage wire in connector and ground.
If volt-
age is not present, test ECM
inputs/outputs as described lat-
er.
With harness connector disconnected, test resistance across
sensor terminals. If any faults are found, replace IAT sensor.

Auxiliary throttle valve (ADS)
(M62 and M62 TU engine), replacing
ADS components 540i models with ASC and DSC are fitted with a motor-driv-
en auxiliary throttle valve and housing ahead of the standard Throttle position switch throttle housing. The ADS throttle valve controls engine throt-
tle intervention based on signals from the DME control mod-
ule if road conditions, such as slipping driven wheel, warrant
reduced engine power.
ADS throttle housing
Bowden cable NOTE-
Before replacing the ADS throttle housing, read DME fault
ADS lhroltle actualor codes.
- ADS throttle housing replacement:
Switch off ignition and disconnect electrical connector on
ADS throttle body.
Remove hose from idle control valve.
Loosen hose clamps and remove throttle housing air in-
take boot.
Disconnect cable from ADS throttle body.
- Unscrew 3 bolts and remove ADS throttle body.
Installation is reverse of removal.
- Adjust cable so that no free play is present.
