SECONDARY AIR INJECTION
Secondary air injections required to pre-heat the catalytic converters for OBD II compliance.
The system consists of the same components as previous systems with V8 specific loca-
tions.
The DME ME7.2 control unit controls the vacuum vent valve and the secondary air injec-
tion pump relay separately but simultaneously.
The secondary air pump operates at a start temperature of between 10°C and 40°C. It con-
tinues to operate for a max. of 2 minutes at idle speed.
ME 7.2 contributes an additional correction factor for secondary air “on” time with the addi-
tional input from the integral ambient barometric pressure sensor.
This sensor provides a base value to calculate the air mass being
injected into the exhaust system. This helps to “fine tune” the sec-
ondary air injection “on” time, optimizing the necessary air flow
into the exhaust system which reduces the time to catalytic con-
verter light-off.

DM-TL (DIAGNOSIS MODULE - TANK LEAKAGE)
INTRODUCTION
A new Fuel System Leak Diagnosis Pump is equipped on the X5. The pump will eventu-
ally replace the current vacuum LDP on all vehicles.
The pump is manufactured by Bosch to BMW specifications.
• Bosch ECMs identify the electrical function of the pump as DM-TL.

FUNCTION
The DC Motor LDP ensures accurate fuel system leak detection for leaks as small as
0.5mm (.020”). The pump contains an integral DC motor which is activated directly by the
engine control module. The ECM monitors the pump motor operating current as the mea-
surement for detecting leaks.
The pump also contains an ECM controlled change over valve that is energized closed dur-
ing a Leak Diagnosis test. The change over valve is open during all other periods of oper-
ation allowing the fuel system to “breath” through the inlet filter (similar to the full down
stroke of the current vacuum operated LDP).
DC MOTOR LDP INACTIVE -- NORMAL PURGE VALVE OPERATION
In it’s inactive state the pump motor and the change over valve of the DC Motor LDP are
not energized. When purge valve operation occurs filtered air enters the fuel system com-
pensating for engine vacuum drawing on the hydrocarbon vapors stored in the charcoal
canister.
