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.

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.

back to the ECM. A separate intalte air temperature
sensor is not used.

Fuel Tank and Fuel Pump
Warnings and cautions
Observe the following warnings and cautions when servicing
the fuel system.
WARNING-
* The fuel system is designed to retain pressure even when
the ignition is off. When working with the fuelsystem, loos-
en the fuel lines slowly to allow residual
fuel pressure to
dissipate. Avoid spraying fuel. Use shop rags to capture
leaking fuel.
Before beginning any work on the fuel system, place a
fire extinguisher in the vicinity of the work area.
Fuel is highly flammable. When working around fuel, do
not disconnect any wires that could cause electrical
sparks. Do not smoke or worknearheaters or other fire
hazards.
* Always unscrew the fuel tank cap to release pressure
in the
tanlc before working on the tank or lines.
When disconnecting a fuel hose, wrap shop rag around
end of hose to prevent spray of fuel under pressure.
Do not use a work light with an incandescent bulb near
any fuel. Fuel may spray on the hot bulb causing a fire.
0 Make sure the worlc area is properly ventilated.
CAUTION-
- Prior to disconnecting the battery, read the battery discon-
nection cautions given in
001 General Cautions an4
Warnings.
Before
making any electrical tests with the ignition
turned on, disable the ignition system as described in
120 Ignition System. Be sure the battery is discon-
nected when replacing components.
To prevent damage to the ignition system or other DME
components, including the engine control module
(ECM), always connect and disconnect wires and test
equipment with the ignition off.
Cleanliness is essential when
worl~ing with the fuel sys-
tem. Thoroughly clean the fuel line unions before dis-
connecting any of the lines.
Use only clean tools. Keep removed parts clean and
sealed or covered with a clean, lint-free cloth, especial-
ly if completion of the repair is delayed.
Do not move the car while the fuel system is open.
Avoid using high pressure compressed air to blow out
lines and components. High pressure can rupture inter-
nal seals and gaskets.
Always replace seals, O-rings and hose clamps.

err- .- Fuel Tank and Fuel Pump
FUELPUMP AND FUELLEVELSENDER
E39 models use a two-lobed fuel tank. Each lobe of the tank
has its own fuel level sending unit. Each sender has a float
connected to a variable resistance wipercontact. To equalize
fuel level between the two
tank lobes, a siphon pump is in-
stalled in the left lobe.
When replacing asender or fuel pump, always replace hose
clamps,
gasltets and O-rings.
WARNING
-
When removing the fuel level sender or the fuel pump, the
fuel tank should be drained to
1/4 capacity or below as de-
scribed later in this repair group.
NOTE-
The compensating siphon pump maintains the fuel level be-
tween the right and left tank lobes. If fuel level sender resis-
tances are not approximately the same on left and right,
remove the senders and visually inspect the level in each
lobe. If the levels are different, check the siphon pump.

4 Working underneath car, pinch off supply and return fuel hos-
es (arrows), then disconnect hoses from rigid metal lines.
- Remove right rear wheel and wheel housing splash shield.
4 Worlting at right rear wheel housing, loosen hose clamp
(arrow) and disconnect filler pipe from tank.
- Support tank from below. Remove tank strap mounting bolts.
Lower and remove tank, disconnecting right side vent and
other
hoses/electrical connectors as necessary.
Always use new seals, gaskets, O-rings, and hose clamps.
lnspect hoses and replace any that are chafed,
dr~ed out or
cracked.
lnspect heat shield and replace if corroded.
Inspect rubber buffers and
hers on fuel tank, support
straps and on underside of body. Replace rubber parts that
are hardened or damaged.
- After finishing repairs but before starting engine, fill fuel tank
with at least
5 liters (1.5 gallons) of fuel.
CAUTlOI+
The fuelpump will be damaged if run without fuel.
* If the filler neck has been removed from the body, be
sure to reattach the
neck grounding screw (where ap-
plicable). Check electrical resistance between the
ground tab and wheel
hub. The resistance should be
no
hiaher than 0.6f2

The 312-way valve is also activated briefly if an engine misfire
is detected. This provides full fuel flow through the fuel rail to
determine if the misfire was caused by a lean fuel condition.
The valve is monitored by the ECM forfaults.
- Using BMW or compatible scan tool, read out fault memory.
See
OBD On-Board Diagnostics.
- Turn off ignition.
- Raise car and support safely.

I Radiator and Cooling System
Common cooling system faults can be grouped into one of 4
categories:
Cooling system
lealts
Poor coolant circulation
Radiator cooling fan faults
Electrical/electronic faults
Cooling system inspection
- Check that coolant pump drive belt tensioner is functioning
properly and that belt tension is correct. Belt tensioner sys-
tems for the different models are shown in
020 Maintenance.
- Check condition of coolant pump drive belt.
- Checlc coolant hoses for cracks or softness. Checlc clamps
for looseness. Check coolant level and check for evidence of
coolant
lealts from engine.
- Check that radiator fins are not blocked with dirt or debris.
Clean radiator using low-pressure water or compressed air.
Blow outward, from engine side out.
- To check coolant pump:
Remove mechanical cooling fan. See Mechanical
(vis.
cous clutch) cooling fan, removing and installing.
Remove drive belt from coolant pump pulley. See
020
Maintenance.
Firmly grasp opposite sides of pulley and check for play in
all directions.
Spin pulley and check that shaft runs smoothly without
play.
NOTE-
The coolant provides lubrication for the pump shaft, so an oc-
casional drop of coolant
lealing from the pump is acceptable.
If coolant drips steadily from the vent hole, replace the pump.
- At normal engine operating temperature, cooling system is
pressurized. This raises boiling point of coolant.
Leaks may
prevent system from becoming pressurized. If visual evi-
dence is inconclusive, pressure test cooling system as de-
scribed later to help pinpoint hard-to-find leaks.
- If cooling system is full of coolant and holds pressure:
- Use an appropriate scan tool to interrogate engine control
module (ECM) for radiator fan or DME control circuit faults.
Checlc for loose or worn drive belt.
0 Test for failed thermostat or coolant pump impeller. Some
pumps may be fitted with plastic impellers.
