Warnings
and
Cautions

For
personal
safety,
as
well
as
the
protection
of
sensitive

electronic
components,
the
following
warnings
and
cautions

should
be
adhered
to
when
working
on
the
engine
manage-

ment
system
.

GENERAL
WARNING
-

"
The
ignition
system
produces
high
voltages
that

can
be
fatal
.
Avoid
contact
with
exposed
termi-

nals
.
Use
extreme
caution
when
working
onacar
with
the
ignition
switched
on
or
the
engine
run-
ning
.

"
Do
not
touch
or
disconnect
any
high
voltage
ca-

bles
from
the
coils
or
spark
plugs
while
the
engine

is
running
or
beingcranked
by
the
starter
.

"
Connect
and
disconnect
the
DME
system
wiring
and
test
equipment
leads
only
when
the
ignition
is
switched
off
.

"
Gasoline
is
highly
flammable
and
fts
vaporsare

explosive
.
Do
not
smoke
or
work
on
a
car
near
heaters
or
other
fire
hazards
when
diagnosing
and
repalring
fuel
system
problems
.
Have
a
tire
extinguisher
avaílable
in
case
of
an
emergency
.

"
When
working
onan
open
fuel
system,
wear
suit-
able
hand
protection,
asprolonged
contact
wfth
fuel
can
cause
illnesses
and
skin
disorders
.

"
Renew
fuel
system
hoses,
clamps
and
O-rings
any
timethey
are
removed
.

"
Before
makingany
electrical
tests
that
require
the
engine
to
be
cranked
using
the
starter,
disable
the
ignition
system
as
described
in
120
Ignition
System
.

CAUTION-

"
Prior
to
disconnecting
the
battery,
read
the
bat-
tery
disconnectinn
cautions
given
at
the
front
of
this
manual
onpage

"
Do
not
connect
any
test
equipment
that
delivers

a
12-volt
power
supply
to
terminal
15
(+)
of
the
ig-

nitioncoil
.
The
current
flow
may
damage
the

ECM
.
In
general,
connect
test
equipment
only
as

speclfied
by
BMW,
this
manual,
or
the
equipment

maker
.

"
Only
use
a
digital
multlmeter
for
electrical
test
.

"
Only
use
an
LED
test
light
for
quick
tests
.

"
Disconnecting
the

CAUTION-

"
The
information
inthis

to
Bosch
engine
management
systems
only
.

"
The
Siemens
MS
41
.1
system
uses
resistive-type
oxygen
sensors
.
This
sensor
uses
a
5-volt
refer-
ence
signal
input
and
the
output
to
the
ECM
var-
ees
from
1-5
volts,
in
stepped
increments
based
on
oxygen
content
in
the
exhaust
.

NOTE-

"
On
pre-08D
11(1992-1995)
cars,
there
is
one
oxygen
sensor
mounted
upstream
of
the
catalytic
convert-
er(s)
in
the
exhaust
pipe
.
See
Fig
.
9
.
"
On
OBD
11
cars
(1996-1998)
cars,
there
is
one
oxygen
sensor
before
andone
after
each
catalytic
converter
.

"
OnM52
and
S52US
engines,
the
front
pairof
oxygen
sensors
are
installed
in
the
exhaust
manifolds
.

The
oxygen
sensor
providesan
input
voltage
signal
(0-1
VDC)
to
the
ECM
based
on
the
oxygen
content
in
the
exhaust
gas
.
TO
generate
voltage,
the
sensor
temperature
must
exceed
575°F
(300°C)
.
Therefore
it
ís
electrically
heated
.

NOTE-

"
The
test
given
below
is
not
a
conclusive
test
of
oxygen
sensor
efficiency
and
does
not
test
how
quickly
the
oxygensensor
can
react
to
changing
conditions
.

"
Pin
numbers
and
wirecolors
can
vary
.
Always
check

When

a
current
is
used
to
heat
a
thin

wire
in
the
center
of
the
sensor
.
See
Fig

.
The
current
in
the

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

than
the
air
passing
over
it
.
The

used
to
heat
the
wire

is
electronically
conneced
into
a
voltage
measurement
corre-

sponding
to
the
mass
of

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"

takes

place
automatically,
four
seconds

(TPS),

testing
and

The
throttle
position
sensor
(TPS)
is
mounted
on
the
side
of

the
throttle
housing
and
is
directly
connected
to
the
throttle

valve
shaft
.
The
ECM
sends
a
voltage
signal
to
the
potentiom-

eter-type
sensor
and
monitors
the
voltage
that
comes
back
.
