Evaporative emissions, overview
On E39 MS 41 .I cars, the evaporative emissions system is
combined with the tank ventilation system. The evaporative
system is monitored by the ECM for correct purge operation
and leak detection.
The carbon (purge) canister is purged using engine vacuum
via the
purgevalve.The purgevalve (located nextto the mass
airflow sensor) is ECM controlled and regulates the purge
flow into the intake manifold. The valve is powered open and
closed by an internal spring.
If the evaporative emission valve circuit is faulty, a fault code
is set and the MIL is illuminated when OBD
II fault criteria are
exceeded. If the valve is mechanically faulty, poor driveability
may result and a mixture adaptation fault is stored in the
ECM.
The leak diagnosis pump (LDP) is activated by the ECM and
pressurizes the fuel tank and evaporative system as apart of
theOED I1 leakdetection monitor. If the LDP orthe LDP circuit
is defective, afault code is set and the MIL is illuminated when
OBD
I1 fault criteria are exceeded. The LDP is mounted the
left rear wheel well behind the fender liner.

Mass air flow (MAF) sensor, checking and
replacing
4 The hot f~lm mass air flow (MAF) sensor sends a varying volt-
age (approx. 0.5 - 4.5 vdc) to the ECM representing the mea-
sured
Intake air. The alr mass input signal is produced
electron~caily uslng an electrically heated metal fllm in the air
flow stream.
The ECM relay provides the operating voltage to the MAF
sensor. As air
flows through the sensor, the film is cooled. To
maintain the film at a constant temperature, additional current
is necessary. It is this additional current that is the basis lor
the input signal.
If there is no output signal from the MAF sensor, the ECM op-
erates the engine using the throttle position and engine rpm
inputs. A faulty MAF sensor illuminates the MIL.

Oxygen sensors, checking
The oxygen sensor provides an input voltage signal [0.2 vdc
(lean) to 0.8 vdc (rich)] to the
ECM based on the oxygen con-
tent in the exhaust gas. To generate voltage, the sensor tem-
perature must exceed 575"
F (300" C). Therefore the sensor
is electrically heated.
NO JE -
The test given below is not a conclusive test of oxygen sen-
sor efficiency and does not test how the oxygen sensor re-
acts to changing conditions. Pin numbers and wire colors
can vary Always check the wiring diagrams to confirm wire
color and pin assignment.
0 The oxygen sensorconnectorplugs are locatednext to the
catalytic converters.
With connector attached to sensor, connect digital voltmeter
between
A and B wires in connector.
WARNING -
Exhaust manifolds andpipes can be hot enough to cause se-
rious burns. Wear suitable heavy gloves and other appropri-
ate protection.

Connector style may vary depending on system application.
Consult wiring diagram for system-specific wiring. See

A fluctuating voltage signal should show on the

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.
