Warnings and cautions
For personal safety, as well as the protection of sensitive
electronic components, adhere to the warnings and cautions
on the following pages.
WARNING-
Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors are explosive.
Do not smoke or work on a car near heaters or other fire
hazards when diagnosing and repairing fuel system prob-
lems. Have a fire extinguisher available in case of an emer-
gency
Renew fuel system hoses, clamps and O-rings any
time they are removed.
When working on an open fuel system, wear suitable
hand protection, as prolonged contact
with fuel can
cause illnesses and skin disorders.
* The ignition system produces high voltages that can be
fatal. Avoid contact with exposed terminals. Use ex-
treme caution when
working on a car with the ignition
switched on or the engine running.
CAUTION-
- Disconnecting the battery may erase fault code($ storedin
memory Check for fault codes prior to disconnecting the
battery cables. Read the battery disconnection cautions in
001 General Warnings and Cautions.
a Connect and disconnect the DME system wiring and
1 test equipment leads only when the ignition is switched
off.
Wait at least 1 minute after turning off the ignition be-
fore removing the engine control module (ECM) con-
nector. If the connector is removed before this time,
residualpower in the system relay may damage the
control module.
Fuel system cleaners and other chemical additives oth-
er than those specifically recommended by BMW may
damage the catalytic converter, the oxygen sensor or
other fuel supply components.
* Do not connect any test equipment that delivers a 12-
volt power supply to terminal 15 (+) of the ignition coil.
The current flow may damage the ECM. In general,
connect test equipment only as specified by BMW or
the equipment maker.
Only use a digital
multirneter for electrical tests. Only
use an LED test light for
quiclc tests.

Fuel Injection I
Mass air flow (MAF) sensor,
checking and replacing
4 The hot film mass air flow (MAF) sensor (arrow) sends a
varying voltage (approx.
0.5 - 4.5 vdc) to the ECM represent-
ing the measured intake air. The air mass input signal is pro-
duced electronically by the
MAFsensorusing a heated metal
film in the air flow stream.
The ECM relay provides the operating voltage to the MAF
sensor. As air flows through the MAF sensor, the film is
-
cooled. To maintain the film at a constant temperature, addi-
tional heating current is necessary. It is this additional current
that is the basis for the input signal.
If there is no output signal from the MAF sensor, the ECM op-
erates the engine using throttle position and engine rpm in-
puts. A faulty MAF sensor illuminates the MIL.
A faulty MAF sensor can produce the following problems:
Difficult to restart when engine is hot.
Engine starts then stalls.
Engine starts and runs only with accelerator pedal de-
pressed.
Disconnect electrical harness connector from MAF sensor
(arrow).
- Turn ignition on and check for voltage and ground at connec-
tor.
There should be ground at pin
1 and battery voltage at pin
3.
If any faults are found, check for wiring breaks between
MAF sensor and ECM and between MAF sensor and ECM
relay.
NOTE-
Visually inspect the sensor for damage, missing or blocked
screens. The screens affect air flow calibration. Also inspect
the sealing O-rings where the sensor inserts into the air
filter
housing and intake boot. Ensure the pin connections are
clean and tight.
4 Connect a BMW-compatible scan tool or an OBD II generic
scan tool. Check air mass signal (load signal) with the engine
at idle. Raise idle speed and check that load signal changes
with rpm.

Remove MAF sensor:
Release clips from air filter housing
(A).
Disconnect harness connector (B).
Loosen intake boot clamp (C) and remove MAF sensor.
Note large sealing O-rings.
Installation is reverse of removal.
No adjustment to MAF sensor is possible.
Check intake hoses for cracks and vacuum leaks.
Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor,
testing and replacing
R
1 -4 The ECT sensor is located below cylinder 1 intake port
The ECT sensor is a dual temperature sensor. One circuit
provides coolant temperature information to the ECM while
the other circuit provides coolant temperature information to
the instrument cluster.
The ECM determines the correct ignition timing and
airlfuel
mixture required for the engine by monitoring an applied volt-
age
(5 vdc) to the sensor. The voltage drop across the sensor
varies as the coolant temperature (sensor resistance) chang-
es.
NOTE-
The ECT sensor is an NTC (negative temperature coeffi-
cient) type sensor. in other words, as the temperature rises,
resistance through the sensor decreases.
If the ETC sensor input is faulty or non-plausible, the MIL is il-
luminated when
OED II fault criteria are exceeded. The ECM
assumes asubstitute value
(80°C1 176°F) to maintainengine
operation. The ignition timing is set to a
conse~ativelsafe ba-
sic setting.
- Check ECT sensor resistance using a multimeter at sensor
terminals.
-
WARNING -
Due to risk of personal injury, be sure the engine is cold be-
fore disconnecting or reconnecting ECT sensor.

CAUTION-
Be sure ignition is OFF before disconnecting or reconnecting
DME system components.
Remove engine coolant temperature sensor:
Unclip crankcase vent hose
(C) from cylinder head cover.
Remove plastic cover
(6) from atop intake manifold run-
ners.
Working under front of intake manifold, disconnect ECT
harness.
Unscrew ECT sensor
(C) from cylinder head.
Installation is reverse of removal:
Use new copper sealing washers when installing sensor.
Replace any engine coolant lost.

Intake air temperature ([AT) sensor,
testing and replacing
4 The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor (arrow) signal is
used by the ECM to monitor intake air temperature for fuel
and
igntion adaptation. The sensor is .ocared in rne 'ntane
man:lold behind the throttle housng.
The ECM monitors an applied voltage (5 vdc) to the sensor
The voltage drop across the sensor varies as the intake air
temperature (sensor resistance) changes.
NOJE-
The IATsensor is an NTC (negative temperature coefficient)
type sensor. In other words, as the temperature rises, resis-
tance through the sensor decreases.
If the IAT sensor input is implausible, a
fault code is set.The
MIL is illuminated when OED II fault criteria are exceeded.
The ECM then operates the engine using only the engine
coolant temperature (ECT) sensor input.
The intake air temperature sensor can be tested using a
mul-
timeter across its terminals:

- Disconnect intake air boot from throttle housing. Unbolt throt-
tle housing and lay aside. It is not necessary to disconnect
throttle cable or electrical harness connectors from throttle housing.
- Remove electrical harness connector from IAT sensor.
- Unclip temperature sensor and remove from intake manifold.
- Installation is reverse of removal. Use a new gasket at throttle
housing.
Throttle position sensor (TPS),
testing and replacing
4 The throttle position sensor (arrow) is located on top of the
throttle valve housing and provides the ECM with a voltage
value that represents throttle position (angle) and rate of
movement.
TheTPS is non-adjustable. If the throttle position sensor is re-
placed, the previous 'learned' TPS settings must be cleared
from the ECM using a BMW-compatible scan tool.
If the throttle position sensor signal is defective, afault code is
stored and the
MILis illuminated when OBD II fault criteria are
exceeded. The ECM still operates the engine using the mass
air flow
(MAF) sensor and engine rpm inputs.
- Check throttle position sensor function by disconnecting har-
ness connector and checking continuity across terminals. If
test results are incorrect,
replace throttle position sensor. The
sensor is non-adjustable.
