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.

AUXILIARY FAN CONTROL
The Auxiliary Fan motor incorporates an out-
put final stage that activates the fan motor at
variable speeds.
The auxiliary fan is controlled by ME 7.2. The
motor output stage receives power and
ground and activates the motor based on a
PWM signal (10 - 100 Hz) received from the
ME 7.2.
Similar to the aux fan in the E46 with MS 42.0
control, the fan is activated based on the fol-
lowing factors:
• Radiator outlet temperature sensor input exceeds a preset temperature.
• IHKA signalling via the K and CAN bus based on calculated refrigerant pressures.
• Vehicle speed
• Battery voltage level
When the over temperature light in the instrument cluster is on (120
OC) the fan is run in the
overrun function. This signal is provided to the DME via the CAN bus. When this occurs
the fan is run at a frequency of 10 Hz.
