DME-ME 7.2 ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The “ME” designation identifies the system as “M” = Motronic, “E” = EML.
• Manufactured by Bosch to BMW specifica-
tions
• 134 pin SKE (standard shell construction) con-
trol module located in E box
• Diagnostic communication protocol-KWP2000
• Uses break-out box set (P/N 90 88 6 121 300)
• Integral EML throttle control system
- monitors an interior installed PWG
- actuates an electric throttle valve (EDK)
• Integral Cruise control functionality
- monitors cruise control requests
- monitors brake pedal and clutch switches
- carries out throttle control directly via EDK
• Carries out DSC III torque reduction requests.
• VANOS control
• Integrated altitude sensor
• Integrated temp sensor for monitoring E box
temperatures
• Control of E-box fan
• One touch engine start control
• Oxygen Sensor heating
• Engine overrev & Max speed limitation
• Active Hall sensor for camshaft position monitoring
• Single speed secondary air injection system
• Electrically heated coolant system thermostat
• Longlife spark plugs
• IHKA Auxiliary Fan control
•DM-TL (Diagnostic Module - Tank Leak Diagnosis System)

ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR (PWG)
The driver's application of the accelerator pedal is monitored by a PWG sensor in the dri-
ver's footwell as with previous non-bowden cable EML systems.
The PWG provides two separate variable voltage signals to the ME 7.2 control module for
determining the request for operating the Electric Throttle Valve (EDK) as well as providing
a kickdown request with automatic transmission vehicles.
The ME 7.2 monitors the changing signal
ranges of both circuits as the pedal is pressed
from LL to VL.
• In vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission (A5S 440Z), the ME 7.2 recognizes
the max pedal value (4.5V) as a kickdown request and signals the AGS via CAN bus.
PWG SIGNAL MONITORING & PWG FAILSAFE OPERATION:
• If the monitored PWG potentiometer signals are not plausible, ME 7.2 will only use the
lower of the two signals as the driver’s pedal request input providing failsafe operation.
Throttle response will be slower and maximum throttle position will be reduced.
• When in PWG failsafe operation, ME 7.2 sets the EDK throttle plate and injection time
to idle (LL) whenever the brake pedal is depressed.
• When the system is in PWG failsafe operation, the instrument cluster matrix display will
post “Engine Emergency Program” and PWG specific fault(s) will be stored in memory.
