With engine oft disconnect harness connector and checlc
heating element resistance between white wires on the sen-
sor side of harness. If the element is electrically open (no
continuity), replace sensor.
- If oxygen sensor does not produce a fluctuating voltage and
preheater circuit is
OK, replace sensor.
NOJE-
If not already applied, coat oxygen sensor threads w~th anti-
seize compound before installat~on. Do not get the com-
pound on the sensor tip.

Fuel injectors, checking and replacing
The fuel iniectors are switched on and off (oaened and
closed)
by'the ECM. The injectors are connkcted to acom-
mon power source. A ground signal from the ECM is used to
open and close the injectors.
CA U JIOG
Use only a digital multimeter or an LED injector tester when
testing injectors or wiring. Use of an analog
VOM or incan-
descent test light may damaqe the engine controlmodule.
4 Remove fuel rail cover. See 110 Engine Removal and in-
stallation.
With the engine running, place the point of a long screwdriver
on each injector and check for a cliclting vibration.
If no vibra-
tion is found do the voltage
checit shown below.

4 Release spring clips (arrows) from fuel injectors and pull in-
jector electrical loom straight up to remove.
4 Check that ECM signal is present at injector connectors.
- Connect digital voltmeter to fuel injector harness plug.
Operate starter and
check for voltage pulse.
* Repeat for each injector.
- Remove fuel injectors by removing retaining clips
- Installation is reverse of removal:
Fit new O-rings when installing injectors. For ease of instal-
lation, lightly lubricate all fuel system O-rings with assem-
bly lubricant.
Check that injector electrical connections are correctly fit-
ted and that
injectors are fully seated prior to installing iuel
rail mounting bolts.
Mass air flow sensor (MAF), replacing
The MAF sensor is provided with operating power from the
ECM relay. Based on calculated intake air mass, the MAF
generates
avarying voltage (approx. 0.5 - 4.5 vdc) as an input
signal to the ECM.
4 Remove MAF sensor:
Remove upper air filter housing locking clips.
Unscrew and remove MAF sensor harness
(A).
Disconnect intake air temperature sensor harness (B).
Loosen hose clamp (C).
Remove upper filter housing with sensor.

I Fuel Injection ldle speed control valve,
testing and replacing
ldle speed is maintained by the ECM through the idle speed
control valve. The idle control function compensates for en-
gine load and engine operating conditions. ldle speed is
adaptive through the ECM and no adjustments can be made.
Before checking valve, confirm that throttle position sensor is
working correctly.
NOTE-
The test given below is an electrical check only. It does not
check the mechanical operation of the valve. If the valve is
sticking, hanging up or is sluggish in operation, substituting a
Inown good valve is the best way to check it.
With engine running, check that idle speed control valve is
buzzing.
Turn on
AIC or shift car into drive. ldle should remain steady
or increase slightly.
If valve is not buzzing, or if idle decreases in step above, stop
engine and disconnect harness connector from valve.
4 Check resistance of valve across its terminals. Test values
are listed below.
ldle speed control valve coil resistance
Terminals
1 and 2 20 +2%
Terminals 2 and 3 20 +2Q
Terminals 1 and 3 40 +4%
NOTE-
If you suspect an intermittent fault, lightly tap the valve while
testing resistance.
With valve harness connector disconnected, check for bat-
tery voltage at redlwhite wire in connector with ignition on.
If . ~~ ~~
there is no voltage, check wiring between connector and 7 ECM relay. See ELE Electrical Wiring Diagrams.
NOTE- - The idle speed control valve receivespositive (+) battery volt-
age from the ECM (DME main) relay

Intake air temperature
([AT) sensor,
testing and replacing
Disconnect harness connector from intake air temperature
sensor

Turn ignition on. Using a digital voltmeter, check for
5 volts
between supply voltage wire in connector and ground.
If volt-
age is not present, test ECM
inputs/outputs as described lat-
er.
With harness connector disconnected, test resistance across
sensor terminals. If any faults are found, replace IAT sensor.

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.
ADS throttle housing
Bowden cable NOTE-
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.
Disconnect cable from ADS throttle body.
- Unscrew 3 bolts and remove ADS throttle body.
Installation is reverse of removal.
- Adjust cable so that no free play is present.

Fuel Injection Evaporative fuel system pressure leak
diagnosis, overview
(M5.2.1 only)
1998 540i models are equipped with an evaporative fuel sys-
tem pressure leak diagnosis system. The main component of
this system is the leak diagnosis pump (LDP). The function of
the LDP is to pressurize the fuel tank and the evaporative
emission system for the purpose of detecting
leaks. This sys-
tem is capable of detecting a leak as small as 0.5 mm.
The LDP, located in the left rear wheel housing, is a unitized
component that contains the following:
Vacuum chamber. Pneumatic pump chamber.
DME activated vacuum solenoid
Reed switch (provides switched voltage
feedback signal to
ECM).
The vacuum supply line is in the wiring harness from the en-
gine compartment and runs down the driver's side of the vehi-
cle.
The canister vent valve is integrated into the LDP, which is
electrically controlled by the ECM. The canister vent valve is
opened to provide fresh air entry into the fuel system only dur-
ing purge operation.
- Purge operation characteristics:
Off idle through full throttle: purge valve opened by pulse
width modulated (PWM) control of the ECM. PWM duty cy-
cle varies by engine operating conditions
(e.g. warm idle,
purge valve opened slightly; cold
idleldecel with engine
temp
< 67" C, purge valve always closed).
