Maintenance
1997 to 2000 models
1997 to 2000 models are equipped with a data link connector
(DLC) plug in the right side engine compartment:
Reset
SII using BMW service and scan tool (DISplus or MoD-
iC, GTI) or a specialty tool from another manufacturer. Plug
tool (arrow) into DLC.
CAUTION-
Follow the manufacturer's directions when resetting the Sll. If
the reset procedures are done
incorrect& the tool or the elec-
tronic Service Interval Indicator
may be damaged.
Aftermarket reset tools that can reset all models with the DLC
can be purchased from one of the following suppliers:

2001 and later models
On vehicles without the data link connector (DLC) in the en-
gine compartment (2001 and latercars), the reset tool can not
be used. Instead, the
Sll can be reset with the trip odometer
reset button in the instrument cluster.
Make sure ignition key is in OFF position.
* Press and hold trip odometer button in instrument cluster,
and turn ignition key to ACCESSORY position.
Keep
button pressed for approximately 5 seconds until
either of following appear in display: OIL SERVICE or
INSPECTION, with RESET.
Press button again and
hold for approximately 5 seconds
until RESET flashes.

NOTE-
OBD I1 fault memory (including an illuminated MIL) can
only be reset using an electronic scan tool. Removing the
connector from the ECM or disconnecting the battery will
not erase the fault
memory.
The BMW-dedicated 20-pin diagnostic linlc connector
(DLC) is in the right rear of the engine compartment.
The 16-pin OBD
I1 diagnostic connector (arrow) is located
inside the car on the lower left dash panel.
ECM relay, testing
Fuses lor ECM In E-bbx 502130488
4 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.
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.

SIEMENS MIS 42.0 AND 43.0
When system faults are detected, a diagnostic trouble code
(DTC) is stored in the engine control module (ECM). The MIL
also illuminates
if an emissions-related fault is detected.
When faults arise, or
if the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is
illuminated, begin troubleshooting by connecting BMW ser-
vice tester
DISplus, MoDiC, GTI or equivalent scan tool. The
capabilities of OBD
II software has the potential to save hours
of diagnostic time and to help avoid incorrect component re-
placement and possible damage to system components.
CAUTION-
* The tests in this section may set fault codes (DTCs) in tlie
ECM and illuminate the MIL. After all testing is completed,
access and clear DTC fault
memory using an OBD I/ or
BMW compatible scan tool. See
OBD On-Board Diag-
nostics.
Only use a
dgital multimeter for electrical tests.
Relay positions can vary. Be sure to confirm
relayposi-
tion by identifying the wiring in the socket using the wir-
ing diagrams found in

Brakes
Brakes, bleeding
The procedure below requires a BMW Service Tester (DIS-
pluslGTl/MoDiC).
- Determine type of traction control (ASC, DSC with precharge
pump, DSC without precharge pump). Be sure to use correct
specification brake fluid, according to application table below.
Brake fluid applications
ABS I ASC and ABS / DSC models DOT 4 brake fluid
with precharge pump (to 911998)
ABS I DSC models without precharge DOT 4 low viscosity
pump (911998 and later) brake
fluid
< Remove left side interior ventilation microfilter housing:
Remove upper cover and microfilter loclting clip
(A).
Release locking clamp (B), and rotate air tube in direction
of arrow to remove.
Disconnect wiring harness from hood switch
(C).
Release filter body mounting clamp (D) and remove lower
microfilter housing.
- Top off bralte fluid in reservoir and connect BMW Service
Tester to
20 pin Data Link Connector (DLC) under hood or 16
pin
DLCIOBD I1 connector under dash.
- Call up service function Bleeding ABS / ASC or service func-
tion Bleeding ABS
/ DSC, depending on installed system.
- Fill pressure bleeding device with the correct brake fluid and
connect to brake fluid reservoir and apply pressurize.
Do not exceed a pressure of
2 bar (29 psi) when pressure
bleeding the
brake system. Excessive pressure will damage
4 Starting at right rear wheel, connect bleed hose and fluid re-
ceptacle to bleeder screw (arrow).
CA UTlON-
Bleeder hose must always remain submersed in clean brake
fluid whenever the bleeder valve is open.

OBD-3
On-Board
~iactnosticsl
Additional MIL information:
A fault code is stored within the ECM upon the first
occurrence of a fault in the system being checlted.
Two complete consecutive drive cycles with the iault
present illuminate the MIL. The exception to the two-fault
requirement is a catalyst-damaging fault, which illuminates
the MIL immediately.
If the second drive cycle was not complete and the fault
was not checked, the ECM counts the third drive cycle as
the next consecutive drive cycle. The MIL illuminates
if the
system is checked and the fault is still present.
Once the MIL is illuminated, it remains illuminated until the
vehicle completes three consecutive drive cycles without
detecting a fault.
0 An existing fault code is cleared from memory
automatically when the vehicle completes
40 consecutive
drive cycles without the fault being detected.
In order to automatically clear a catalyst-damaging fault from
memory, the condition underwhich the fault occurred must be
evaluated for 80 consecutive drive cycles without the fault
reoccurring.
A generic scan tool connected to the BMW data link
connector (DLC) or OBD
I1 plug can display diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs), along with the conditions associated with the
illumination of the MIL. Using a more advanced or
BMW-
dedicated scan tool, additional proprietary information is
normally available.
Scan tool and scan tool display
The complexity of the OBD I1 system requires that all
diagnostics begin by connecting a scan tool to the vehicle.
Aftermarltet scan tools can be connected to either the 16-pin
OBD
I1 plug or the 20-pin BMW DLC in the engine
compartment
(ii installed). Data from the OBD II plug may be
limited, depending on scan tool and vehicle.
OBD
I1 standards reouire that the 16-oin OBD I1 oluo be
located within three
(3) feet of the driier and not're&ire any
tools to access.
Starting with June 2000 production, the 20-pin BMW DLC,
previously located in the engine compartment, was
discontinued. Diagnostic, coding and programming functions
are incorporated into the OBD
II plug, located under left side
of dashboard.
On cars built up to 06
/ 2000: when accessing emissions
related DTCs through the 16-pin OBD
I1 plug, malte sure the
BMW 20-oin DLC
caD is installed.
