SIEMENS ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Models: E53 X5
SOP: 3 liter - 4/00
Objectives of the Module:
At the end of this section of the handout you will be able to:
• Identify the changes that have occurred to the MS 43 system compared to the MS 42
• Describe the operation of the new inputs
• Describe the operation of the new outputs
• Discuss which new components/subsystems relate directly to ULEV compliancy
This new generation Siemens system is designated as
MS 43.0.
Siemens MS 43.0 is a newly developed engine management system to meet the needs of
Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) compliancy and continuing with present systems is also
OBD II compliant. This system also includes control of the Motor-driven Throttle Valve
(EDK).
The ECM uses a pc-board dual-processor control unit in the SKE housing configuration.
The MS 43.0 ECM is flash programmable as seen with previous systems.
ECM hardware includes:
Modular plug connectors featuring 5 connectors in the SKE housing with 134 pins.
• Connector 1 = Supply voltages and grounds
• Connector 2 = Peripheral signals (oxygen
sensors, CAN, etc.)
• Connector 3 = Engine signals
• Connector 4 = Vehicle signals
• Connector 5 = Ignition signals
Special features:
• Flash EPROM which is adaptable to several M52 LEV engines and has the capability to
be programmed up to 13 times
• Once a control unit is installed and coded to a vehicle it cannot be swapped with anoth-
er vehicle for diagnosing or replacement (because of EWS 3.3).

MS 43 NEW FUNCTIONS
MAIN RELAY MONITOR
The MS 43.0 system incorporates a new monitoring feature for terminal 87 (KL 87) of the
main relay. The relay is monitored internally for the voltage level at KL 87. Five seconds after
the ignition key is switched on, and the voltage at the KL 15 input is greater than 9 volts,
the control module checks the voltage at KL 87.
If the voltage difference between the two terminals is greater than 3 volts, a fault will be
stored in the ECM.

MS 43 NEW FUNCTIONS
EMISSION OPTIMIZED - IGNITION KEY OFF
“Emission Optimized Ignition Key Off” is a programmed feature of the MS 43 control mod-
ule.
After the ECM detects KL 15 being switched OFF, the ignition stays active for two more
individual coil firings. This means that just two cylinders are fired - not two revolutions.
This feature allows residual fuel injected into the cylinders, as the ignition key is switched
off, to be burned as the engine runs down.

LEAK DIAGNOSIS TEST PRECONDITIONS
The ECM only initiates a leak diagnosis test every second time the criteria are met. The cri-
teria is as follows:
• Engine OFF with ignition switched OFF.
• Engine Control Module still in active state or what is known as “follow up mode” (Main
Relay energized, control module and DME components online for extended period after
key off).
• Prior to Engine/Ignition switch OFF condition, vehicle must have been driven for a min-
imum of 20 minutes.
• Prior to minimum 20 minute drive, the vehicle must have been OFF for a minimum of 5
hours.
• Fuel Tank Capacity must be between 15 and 85%(safe approximation between 1/4 -
3/4 of a tank).
• Ambient Air Temperature between -7
OC & 35OC(20OF & 95OF )
• Altitude < 2500m(8,202 feet).
• Battery Voltage between 11.5 and 14.5 Volts
When these criteria are satisfied every second time, the ECM will start the Fuel System Leak
Diagnosis Test. The test will typically be carried out once a day i.e. once after driving to
work in the morning, when driving home in the evening, the criteria are once again met but
the test is not initiated. The following morning, the test will run again.

NOTE: With extremely hot oil temperatures Vanos is deactivated (Power loss). If the oil is
too thick (wrong viscosity) a fault could be set.
When the engine is started, the camshafts are in the “failsafe” position (deactivated). The
intake camshaft is in the RETARDED position - held by oil pressure from the sprung open
solenoid. The exhaust camshaft is in the ADVANCED position - held by a preload spring in
the actuator and oil pressure from the sprung open solenoid.
After 50 RPM (2-5 seconds) from engine start, the ECM is monitoring the exact camshaft
position.
The ECM positions the camshafts based on engine RPM and the throttle position signal.
From that point the camshaft timing will be varied based on intake air and coolant temper-
atures.
The double VANOS system is “fully variable”. When the ECM detects the camshafts are in
the optimum positions, the solenoids are modulated (approximately 100-220 Hz) maintain-
ing oil pressure on both sides of the actuators to hold the camshaft timing.
CAUTION:
The VANOS MUST
be removed and installed exactly as described in the Repair
Instructions!
NOTE: If the VANOS camshaft system goes to the failsafe mode (deactivated) there will be
a noticeable loss of power. This will be like driving with retarded ignition or starting from a
stop in third gear.

RZV IGNITION SYSTEM
The Siemens MS43.0 system uses a multiple spark ignition function. The purpose of mul-
tiple ignition is:
• Provide clean burning during engine start up and while idling (reducing emissions).
• This function helps to keep the spark plugs clean for longer service life (new BMW
longlife plugs).
Multiple ignition is active up to an engine speed of approximately 1350 RPM (varied with
engine temperature) and up to 20 degrees after TDC.
Multiple ignition is dependent on battery voltage. When the voltage is low, the primary cur-
rent is also lower and a longer period of time is required to build up the magnetic field in the
coil(s).
• Low battery voltage = less multiple ignitions
• High battery voltage = more multiple ignitions
The 240 ohm shunt resistor is still used on the MS43.0 system for detecting secondary igni-
tion faults and diagnostic purposes.
