intake manifold BMW 318i 1992 E36 Owner's Manual

The
fuel
injection
systems
used
on
the
1996
and
later
cars
covered
bythis
manual
are
OBD
II
compliant
.
This
system
is
in-
corporated
into
both
the
Bosch
M5
.2
(M44
engine)
and
the
Si-
emens
MS
41
.1
(M52/S52US
engine)
engine
management
systems
.
OBD
II
systems
use
sophisticateddiagnostic
soft-
ware
capable
of
recognizing
and
electronically
storing
hun-
dreds
of
DTCs
in
the
system
ECM
.
DTCs
can
only
be
accessed
using
special
scan
tooltest
equipment
.
The
BMW
dealer
is
equipped
with
the
specialized
OBD
II
scan
toolto
quickly
and
efficiently
locate
engine
management
problems
.
Alternately,
a
"generic"
scan
tool
can
be
used
to
access
OBD
II
fault
informa-
tion
.

NOTE-

"
At
the
time
this
manual
went
to
press,
generic
scan
tools
were
notwidely
available
for
BMW
vehicles
.
The
generic
sean
tool
is
a
specialized
toolthat
plugs
into
a
standardized
OBD
11
connector
on
1996
and
later
pas-senger
vehícles
built
for
sale
in
the
US
.

"
The
OBD
11
fault
memory
(including
an
illuminated
Check
Engine
light)
can
only
be
reset
using
the
spe-
cial
scan
tool
.
Removing
the
connector
trom
the
ECM
or
disconnecting
the
battery
will
not
erase
the
fault
memory
.

All
OBD

6-cylinder
engines
are
equípped
with
asecond-
ary
air
injection
system
.
In
addition,
beginning
in
January
1997,
the
M44
engine
was
classified
as
a
TLEV
(Transitional
Low
Emission
Vehicle)
engine
and
is
also
equipped
with
sec-
ondary
air
injection
.

Typical
components
of
the
secondary
air

system

are
depicted
in
Fig

WARNING
-

"

.
Do
not
smoke
orwork
on
acarnear

or
other
fire
hazards
when
diagnosing

.
Have
a
fire
extinguisher
available
in
case
of

emergency
.

"
When
working
onanopen
fuel
system,
wear
suit-
able
hand
protection
.
Prolonged
contact
with
fuel
can
cause
illnesses
and
skin
disorders
.

To
prevent
fuel
from
spraying
on
a
hot
engine,
system
fuel

pressure
should
be
relieved
before
disconnecting
fuel
lines
.

One
method
is
to
tightly
wrap
a
shop
towel
around
a
fuelline
fit-

ting
and
loosenor
disconnect
the
fitting
.

Cleanliness
is
essential
when
working
with
fuelcircuit
com-
ponents
.
Thoroughly
clean
theunionsbefore
disconnecting
fuellines
.

NOTE-

"
OnM44
engines,
a
Schrmder
valve
is
integrated
in
the
fuel
rail
.
Compressed
air
pressure
canbe
applied
at
the
valve
to
force
the
fuel
in
the
system
back
into
the
tank
.

and
special

to
measure

.
If
the
special
tools
arenot
available,
a
length
of

fine
and
a
T-fitting
canbe
installed
to

.
On
some
vehicles,
thisis
not
possible
without
cutting
finto

.
In
these
lnstances,
it
Is
recom-
mended
that

be
checked
at

WARNING
-

"
Gasoline
is
highly
flammable
and
its
vapors
are
explosive
.

"
The
fuel
pressure
gauge
must
be
securely
con-nected
to
prevent
it
from
coming
loose
under
pressure
.

NOTE-

"
The
fuel
pressure
gauge
should
have
arangoof
0
to
5
bar
(0
to
75
psi)
.

"
On

cover
will
have
to
be
removed
to
access

.

Residual
fuel
pressure,
testing

For
quick
restarts
and
to
avoid
vapor
lock
when
the
engine
is
hot,
the
fuel
injection
system
is
designed
to
retain
fuel
pres-
sure
after
the
engine
has
been
turned
off
.
Thís
residualpres-
sure
is
primarily
maíntained
by
a
check
valve
at
the
fuel
pump
outiet
and
the
fuel
pressure
regulator
.
The
fuel
pump
check
valve
is
not
serviceable
asan
individual
part
.

1.
Relieve
fuel
pressure
and
connect
a
pressure
gauge
as
described
earlier
.

WARNING
-

Fuel
will
be
discharged
.
Wrap
a
shop
towel
around
the
fuellino
fitting
when
disconnecting
the
fuel
fine
.
Do
not
smoke
or
worknear
heaters
or
other
fire
hazards
.
Keep
an
approved
fire
extinguisher
handy
.

2
.
Operate
fuel
pump
for
approximately
one
minuto
by
by-
passing
fuel
pump
relay
as
described
earlier
.
Observe
fuel
pressure
.

3
.
Observe
fuel
pressure
gauge
after
20
minutes
.
The

pressure
shouldnot
drop
off
more
than
0
.5
bar
from

system
pressure
listed
in
Tablec
.

4
.
When
finished
testing,
disconnect
pressure
gauge
and
reconnect
fuel
line
.

If
the
fuel
system
does
not
maintain
pressure,
check
visual-
¡y
for
leaks
in
fuel
lines
orat
unions
.
Leaks
can
also
be
due
to
a
leaking
injector
or
a
faulty
fuel
pump
check
valve
.
Check
the

pump
check
valve
by
repeating
the
test,
butbefore
turning
the

fuel
pump
off,
pinch
off
theretum
line
at

.
If
the

is
now
maintained,
the
fault
is
most
likely

(hot

testing
and

When
the
engine
is

a
current
is
used
to
heat
a
thin

wire
in
the
center
of
the
sensor
.
See
Fig
.
25
.
The
current
in
the

wire
is
regulated
to
maintain
a
temperature
of
100°C
more

than
the
air
passing
over
it
.
The
current
used
to
heat
the
wire

is
electronically
conneced
into
a
voltage
measurement
corre-

sponding
to
the
mass
of
intake
a¡
r
.

To
keep
the
wire
clean,
it
is
heated
to
a
temperature
of
about

1,000°C
(1,830°F)
for
one
second
.
This
"burn-off"
cycle
takes

place
automatically,
four
seconds
after
the
engine
is
tumed
off
.

lf
thehot
wire
breaks
or
if
there
is
no
output
from
the
air
flow

sensor,
the
ECM
automatically
switches
to
a
"limp-home"

mode
and
tucos
on
the
Check

light
.
The
engine
can

usually
be
started
and
driven
.
The

sensor
has
no
inter-

nal
moving
parts
and
cannot
be
serviced
