Be sure ignition is OFFbefore disconnecting or reconnecting
DME system components.
- To remove valve, remove cable bracket mounting bolt and
idle speed control valve mounting bracket bolts from front of
throttle housing and remove idle speed control valve with at-
tached bracket.

Evaporative emissions control diagrams
MS 42.0 (LDP) ,-a"-
Evaporative emissions control,
(MS 42.0, MS 43.0)
E39 models with MS 42.0 or MS 43.0 engine are equipped
with a fuel system evaporative pressure leak diagnosis sys-
tem. The main component of this system is the leak diagnosis
pump (LDP or DM-TL). The function of either system is to
pressurize the fuel tank and the evaporative emission system
for the purpose of detecting leaks.

Engine control module (ECM),
removing and installing
The ECM uses stored functions and processing programs to
process the input signals from the sensors. These input sig-
nals are used to calculate the control (output) signals to the
actuators
(e.g., ignition coils, injectors).
NOTE-
Consult an authorized BMW dealer before replacing the
ECM.
- Disconnect negative (-) battery cable. Wait approximately
one minute.
CAUTION-
Prior to disconnecting the batteg read the battery discon-
nection cautions
in 001 General Warnings and Cautions.
4 Access engine control module (ECM):
Release
interlor ventilation filter cover latch (A) and re-
move cover.
Release plastic loclting tab
(B).
Rotate air duct inward (arrow) to unloclt from bulk head
and remove duct.
Release spring lock
(C) to remove lower filter housing.
Slide
f~lter hous~ng away from inner fender to remove.
- Remove electrical box (E-box) cover fasteners and remove
cover.
- If testing ECM or connected components, use breakout box
to allow tests to be made with connector attached to ECM.
This prevents damage to small terminals in connector.
- - As an alternative, harness connector housing can be sepa-
rated so that electrical checks can be made from
back of con-
nector.
4 If replacing ECM, disconnect control module harness con-
nector (arrow) by releasing fastener and pivoting connector
up and off ECM.

Working inside E-box, disconnect ECM harness connector
(arrow) by releasing fastener and pivoting connector up and
off ECM.
CA UTIOW
Be sure ignition is OFF before disconnecting or reconnecting
DME system components.
Remove ECM from retaining brackets and lift off holder.
Installation is reverse of removal
Before attempting to start engine, use
BMW service tester
DISplus, MoDiC, GTl or equivalent:
* Code replacement ECM with application information (i.e
engine code, transmission type, etc.).
Align ECM to EWS (electronic immobilizer).

ECM pin assignments
ECM pin assignments are given in Table c. For engine man-
agement system schematics, see
ELE Electrical Wiring Di-
agrams.
/ CAUTIOW I
Al~ays wait at least one mfnule after turning off the ignition
before
remov;ng [he connecror irom rhe ECM. If the con-
nector is removed before this time, residual power
in the
system relay may damage the
ECM.
Always connect or disconnect the control module con-
nector and meter probes with the ignition off.
When making checks at the ECM itself, a
breakout box
should be used to allow tests to be made with the connector
attached to the ECM. This also prevents damage to the small
terminals in the connector. As an alternative, the harness
connector housing can be separated so that electrical checks
can be made from the back of the connector.

M5.2 system features
The Bosch M5.2 system used on 1997 540i models uses an
88-pin control unit. The
M5.2 system has the following func-
tions and capabilities:
Fully sequential cylinder-individual fuel injection.
Integrated adaptive knock control.
Oxygen sensor fuel mixture control.
0 Self-diagnosis and emergency operation characteristics.
CAN-Bus link.
0 OED II functions (misfire detection, catalytic converter
monitoring, oxygen sensor monitor, and fuel tank ventila-
tion system).
Electronic vehicle immobilization via EWS.
One-touch starter function.
Control of characteristic map thermostat.
M5.2.1 system features
The Bosch M5.2.1 system is used on 1998 540i models. The
M5.2.1 control module utilizes the SKE (standard shell con-
struction housing) with 5 connectors and a combined total of
134 pins.
The M5.2.1 systefn has
tile following functions or capabilities:
Separate power supply relay for ignition coils. Leak diagnosis pump (LDP) control and feedback
rnonitor-
ing for evaporative system leak testing.
Fuel evaporative system providing ORVR (on-board refuel-
ing vapor recovery) compliancy.
Batterylalternator charge logic (idle speed varied with the
battery state of charge).
CAN-Bus communications with the instrument cluster
EWS
Ill "rolling code" ISN interface.
More sensitive ignition
knock sensors.
Pulse width modulated (P-W-M) Heating and
AIC (IHKA)
status signal.

ECM relay, testing
The engine control module (ECM) relay is energized via the
ECM and supplies battery positive
(B+) power to many of the
engine
management components and subsystems. If this re-
lay is faulty, the engine will not start.
CAUTIOI\C
Relay positions can vary. Be sure to confirm relay position by
identifying the wiring
in the socket using the wiring diagrams
in ELE Electrical Wiring Diagrams.
NOTE-
The ECM relay is also referred to as the DME main relay.
ECM relay powers:
* ECM
Ignition coils
Fuel injection
Evaporative leak detection pump
(5.2.1 only)
Idle air actuator
Camshaft sensors Evaporative emissions valve
Hot film mass air flow sensor
Fuel pump relay
Oxygen sensor heaters
4 Working in right rear of engine compartment:
Release interior ventilation filter cover latch
(A) and re-
move cover.
Release plastic locking tab
(B).
Rotate duct inward (arrow) to unloclc from bulk head and
remove duct.
0 Release spring lock (C) to remove lower filter housing.

NOJE-
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.
