Brakes
Brakes, bleeding
The procedure below requires a BMW Service Tester (DIS-
pluslGTl/MoDiC).
- Determine type of traction control (ASC, DSC with precharge
pump, DSC without precharge pump). Be sure to use correct
specification brake fluid, according to application table below.
Brake fluid applications
ABS I ASC and ABS / DSC models DOT 4 brake fluid
with precharge pump (to 911998)
ABS I DSC models without precharge DOT 4 low viscosity
pump (911998 and later) brake
fluid
< Remove left side interior ventilation microfilter housing:
Remove upper cover and microfilter loclting clip
(A).
Release locking clamp (B), and rotate air tube in direction
of arrow to remove.
Disconnect wiring harness from hood switch
(C).
Release filter body mounting clamp (D) and remove lower
microfilter housing.
- Top off bralte fluid in reservoir and connect BMW Service
Tester to
20 pin Data Link Connector (DLC) under hood or 16
pin
DLCIOBD I1 connector under dash.
- Call up service function Bleeding ABS / ASC or service func-
tion Bleeding ABS
/ DSC, depending on installed system.
- Fill pressure bleeding device with the correct brake fluid and
connect to brake fluid reservoir and apply pressurize.
Do not exceed a pressure of
2 bar (29 psi) when pressure
bleeding the
brake system. Excessive pressure will damage
4 Starting at right rear wheel, connect bleed hose and fluid re-
ceptacle to bleeder screw (arrow).
CA UTlON-
Bleeder hose must always remain submersed in clean brake
fluid whenever the bleeder valve is open.

- Remove precharge pump mounting bracket fasteners and re-
move pump.
- Installation is reverse of removal, noting the following:
Be sure to replace rubber pump mounts if damaged
01
worn.
Bleed brakes as described earlier.
Tightening torque Brake line
to precharge pump 18 Nrn (13 ft-lb)
DSC pressure sensor (1 999 - 2002 models)
On 1999 and later DSC systems, the DSC pressure sensor is
screwed into the DSC hydraulic unit (right rear of engine com-
partment).
WARNING-
* €39 cars require special BMW service equipment to prop-
erly bleed the brakes. Removal of the
DSCpressure sensor
is not recommended unless this equipment is available. For
safety reasons, the brake system on cars with ABS must be
bled using the procedures described in this repair group.
Switch off ignition and remove
key to male sure brake
system cannot be activated.
- Disconnect electrical harness connector at switch.
- Use BMW special tool 34 5 160 to remove and install sensor.
Inspect threads and sealing surfaces for damage.
* Work quicltly to avoid excessive brake fluid leakage.

- Reconnect harness connector
- Bleed front brakes as described earlier.
- Press on brakes and check for leaks at sensor.
- Turn on ignition and firmly depress brake pedal. Check that
DSC warning light does not come on.
