NOTE-
* Professional diagnostic scan tools available at the time of
this printing include the BMW factory tools and a small
number of aftermarket BMW-specific tools. The
CS2000
from Baum Tools Unlimited, the Retriever from Assenma-
chef Specialty Tools, and the MT2500 from Snap-on are
three examples.
In addition to the BMW-specific professional line of scan
tools, there are inexpensive generic OBD
I1 scan tool soft-
ware programs and
handheld units available. Although
these tools have limited capabilities as compared to the
dedicated tools, they are powerful diagnostic tools.
For the
DIY owner, simple aftermarltet DTC readeris avail-

capable of checlting for
DTCs as well as turning off the il-
luminated

Tools and test equipment
If the equipment required to do the job is unavailable, it is rec-
ommended that these repairs be left to an authorized
BMW
dealer or other qualified BMW repair facility.

Fuel Injection
Fuel supply to the injection system is provided by a high pres-
sure electric pump mounted inside the fuel tank. The pump is
powered via the fuel pump relay. If the relay is faulty, the fuel
pump will not run and the engine will not start.
NOTE-
* Fuel delivery volume and fuel pressure are critical to prop-
er operation. Fuel pressure direcfly influences fuel deliv-
ery
Fuel pump relay, fuel pressure and fuel volume tests are
given in 160 Fuel Tank and Fuel Pump.
Relieving system fuel pressure
The fuel system retains fuel pressure in the system when the
engine is off. To prevent fuel from spraying on a hot engine,
system fuel pressure should be relieved beforedisconnecting
fuel lines. One method is to tightly wrap
ashop towel around a
fuel line fitting and loosen or disconnect the fitting. Cleanli-
ness is essential when working with fuel components. Thor-
oughly clean the unions before disconnecting fuel lines.
When system faults are detected, a diagnostic trouble code
(DTC) is stored in the engine control module (ECM). The MIL
also iiluminates if an emissions-related fault is detected
