ECM Relay
4 Check for voltage at terminal 6 (30) at reiay socket
If battery voltage is present continue testing.
if battery voltage is not present, check fuse 109 (80-amp
fusible link) under passenger seat carpet. See 610 Electri-
cal
Component Locations.
- Reinstall relay and turn ignition on. Gain access to back side
of reiay socket and check for ground at terminal
4.
If ground is present continue testing.
If ground is not present, signal
from ECM is missing. Check
wire between ECM and relay.
- With ignition on and reiay installed, check lor battery voltage
at terminal
2.
If battery voltage is present, relay has energized and is
functioning correctly.
If battery voltage is not present and
ail earlier tests are OK,
relay is faulty and should be replaced.
NOTE-
If no faults are found during testing but power is not reaching
the ECM or other components, check the fuses
in the fuse
carrier
X8680 in the E-box.
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.

Fuel Injection
A faulty MAF sensor can produce the following problems:
Difficult to restart when engine is hot
Engine starts then stalls
* Engine starts and runs only with accelerator pedal de-
pressed
4 Disconnect electrical harness connector from MAF sensor
(B).
- Turn ignition on and checlc for voltage and ground at connec-
tor.
There should be ground at pin
1 and battery voltage at pin
3.
- If any faults are found, checlc for wiring breaks between
MAF sensor and ECM and between MAF sensor and main
DME relay.
NOTE-
Visually inspect the sensor for damage, missing or blocked
screens. The screens affect air flow calibration. Also inspect
the sealina
0-rinas where the sensor inserts into the air filter - - housing and intake boot. Ensure the pin connections are
clean and tight.
4 Connect a BMW-compatible scan tool or an OED II generic
scan tool.
Checlc air mass signal (load signal) with the engine
at idle. Raise idle speed and
checlc that load signal changes
with rpm.
CAUTION-
Be sure ignition is OFFbefore disconnecting or reconnecting
DME system components.
Remove MAF sensor:
Loosen intake boot clamp
(A).
Disconnect harness connector (6).
* Release clip from air filter housing (C) and remove sensor.
- Installation is reverse of removal.
No adjustment to MAF sensor is possible.
Check intake hoses for cracks and vacuum
lealts.

- Installation is reverse of removal:
Use new copper sealing washers when installing sensor.
Replace any lost coolant.
Tightening torque
Temperature sensor to cylinder head
13 Nm (10 ft-lb)
Intake air temperature (IAT) sensor,
testing and replacing
4 The intake airtemperature (IAT) sensor, located at the top of
I the intake manifold, adapts (fine tunes) the fuel mixture and i
T engine timing based on varying intake air temperatures.
i If the intaite air temperature signal is implausible, a fault code
! is set and the MIL is illuminated when OBD I1 fault criteria are
I exceeded. The ECM then operates the engine using the ECT
i sensor sional inout as a back uo.
type sensor. In other words,
a> the temperature rises, resis-
tance through the sensor decreases.
lid I The IATsensor can be tested using a multimeter:
/IAT sensor resistance at 20'C (68°F) 2.2 - 2.7 kd
Remove engine cover by prying off plastic trim caps (arrows)
and removing nuts below caps.

MS 43.0 throttle valve assembly, replacing
The electronic throttle valve assembly forthe MS43.0 system
is referred to as
EDK (electronic throttle valve). There is no
mechanical (cable) link between the accelerator pedal and
the throttle plate.
< The accelerator pedal module (PWG) at the pedal assembly
communicates the pedal position directly to the ECM. The
module provides two variable voltage signals (via two Hail
sensors) to the ECM for pedal position and rate of movement.
NOTE-
The EDK unit is non-adjustable and must be replaced as a
complete unit if found to be faulty
If replacing the
EDK unit, the adaptation values stored in
the
ECM must be cleared and the new unit initialized using
BMW special service tools.
CAUTIOIG
If the adaptation process is not completed correctk the en-
qine will not start
- Disconnect battery negative (-) cable in luggage compart-
ment.
CAUTION-
Prior to disconnecting the battery, read the battery discon-
nection cautions given in
001 General Warnings and Cau-
tions.
< Remove complete air filter housing:
- Disconnect electrical harness connector on mass air flow
sensor
(A).
Disconnect vacuum line at intake boot (6).
Loosen intaite air duct clamp (C).
Remove filter housing mounting screws.
Disconnect air duct and lift complete air filter housing and
MAF sensor out of engine compartment, pulling it forward
away from throttle housing.

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.
