ELECTRONIC ~MMOBILIZATION (EWS)
E39 cars are equipped with a passive theft-prevention sys-
tem. The Electronic Immobilization System (EWS) makes it
impossible to
startthe engine using any means other than the
special lkeys furnished with the vehicle.
NOTE-
Replacement EWS control modules or DME control modules
must be electronically aligned to each before the vehicle will
start. This requires the use of the BMW Service Tester
(DIS-
plus, GT1, or MoDiC). Without alignment, the engine will not
crank (for example: swapping a
known good DME control
module into another vehicle for test purposes will result in a
no crank situation).
In the EWS system, the ignition key is embedded with
acom-
puter chip (EEPROM) and coded. The key communicates
with the vehicle using a transponder in the lkey and a ring an-
tenna surrounding the steering lock cylinder. Up to
6 replace-
ment keys are permissible. Only an authorized
BMW dealer
can provide replacement keys.

Central Locking and Anii-Theft
- If the starter engages, the following EWS inputs are function-
ing normally:
Ignition key
Code function
Transmission range switch or clutch position switch
Engine speed sensor
NO JE -
If a vehicle key is lost or stolen, the electronic authorization
for that key
can be cancelled using the BMW scan and di-
agnostic tools
DISplus, GTl or MoDiC.
Force applied to a ley can damage the electronic circuitry
in the key A damaged ley will not start the engine. In that
case, a new key should be purchased and initialized
by an
authorized BMW dealer.

SeatIMirrorlSteering Column Memory
< The basic features of seaffmirrorlsteering column operation,
including memory positions are integrated into the
ZKE Ill
system. Driver adjustment positions can be memorized and
stored for three different
users.The seat control module is in-
tegral with the seat and mirror switches. The seat control
module stores seat memory position via the "ripple" counter
module.
NOTE-
Passenger seat on sedan models uses a simple control cir-
cuit and do not include a memory module or on-board diag-
nostics.
Seat memory position, setting
With the transmission range selector in "P and the mirror
change over switched in the left position, switch the ignition
on and press the
"M" on the memory switch.
Press one of the three position switches
(1, 2 or 3) within
the
7 second memory period (memory indicator lamp will
illuminate for
7 seconds)
- The current positions of the mirrors, seat and steering col-
umn will now be stored in memory.
NOTE- Seat memory is held in an
EEPROM in the seat module and
is stored in memory before the
ZKE goes into its sleep mode.
If the battery is disconnected before the 16 minute sleep
mode activation, seat memorypositions are lost and repro-
gramming is required.
