Sunroof panel, emergency closing
4 Using a plastic tool carefully pry interior light out of headliner.
4 Remove access panel from below sunroof motor by inserting
fingers through light opening and pressing down.
4 Disconnect electrical connections (arrow) and lay switch
panel aside.
4 Insert hex ltey into drive in sunroof motor (arrow), and turn
hex ltey to manually close sunroof.
NOTE-
The hex ley for manually (emergency) closing the sunroof
can be found in the tool
Itit located in the trunk lid (sedan
models) or under the cargo area floor panel (Sport Wagon).

l~irba~ System (SRS)
This repair group covers airbag components and replace-
ment.
Airbag system repairand fault diagnosis is not covered.
Diagnostics, component testing, and
airbag system repair
should be carried out by trained BMW service technicians.
Individual
airbag system components can only be tested elec-
tronically when installed in the car. BMW service testers
DIS
or MoDiC or equivalent must be used for diagnostic work.
WARNING-
Special test equipment is required to retrieve airbag fault
codes, diagnose system faults, and
reseffturn off the air-
bag indicator light. The indicator light will remain on until
any problem has been corrected and the fault memory has
been cleared.
Airbags are part of the BMW Multiple Restraint System
(MRS). Three versions of MRS are available in E39 models.
Multiple Restraint Systems
MRS and MRS II include the following restraint components:
311 996-811 997
911
997-311 999
311 999-2002

MRS Ill
Passenger front two-stage airbag (cars manufactured
from
911998).
The seat occupancy sensor (SBE) is used for detection of
a passenger in the right front seat. MRS uses the SBE in-
put to determine seat belt tensioner
and/or front airbag de-
ployment thresholds.

I Airbag System (SRS)
MRS
The MRS control module contains the electronic crash sensor
for frontal impact. Sensors mounted on the driver and
pas-
sengerfloor are used for side impacts. The MRS control mod-
ule
is located between the front seat under the center
console.

On-Board Diagnostics
Professional diagnostic scan tools available atthe time of this
printing include the BMW factory tools
(DISplus, GTI,
MoDiC) and a small number of aftermarket BMW-specific
tools. See
020 Maintenance.
In addition to the professional line of scan tools, inexpensive
generic OBD
II scan tool software programs and handheld
units are readily available. Though limited, they are
nonetheless powerful diagnostic tools. These tools read live
data streams and freeze frame data as well as a host of other
valuable diagnostic data.
Diagnostic monitors
Diagnostic monitors run tests and checks on specific
emission control systems, components, and functions.
A complete drive cycle is requiredforthe tests to bevalid. See
Drive cycle in this repair group. The diagnostic monitor
signals the
ECM of the loss or impairment of the signal or
component and determines if a signal or sensor is faulty
based on
3 conditions:
* Signal or component shorted to ground
Signal or component shorted to
B+
Signal or component missing (open circuit)
The OBD
II system monitors all emission control systems that
are installed. Emission control systems vary by vehicle model
and year. For example, a vehicle may not be equipped with
secondary air injection, so no secondary air readiness code
would be present.
OBD
II software monitors the following:
Oxygen sensors
Catalysts
Engine misfire
- Fuel tank evaporative control system
Secondary air injection Fuel system
Oxygen sensor monitoring. When driving conditions allow,
response rate and switching time of each oxygen sensor is
monitored. The oxygen sensor heater function is also
monitored. The OBD
II system differentiates between
precataylst and post-catalyst oxygen sensors and reads each
one individually. In order
forthe oxygen sensor to be
effectively monitored, the system must be in closed loop
operation.
