(DLC) is in the right rear of the engine compartment.
The 16-pin OBD
I1 diagnostic connector (arrow) is located
inside the car on the lower left dash panel.
ECM relay, testing

4 The engine control module (ECM) relay is energized via the
ECM and supplies battery positive
(B+) power to many of the
engine management components and subsystems.
If this re-
lay is faulty, the engine will not start.
Relay positions can vary. Be sure to confirm relay position by
identifying the wiring in the socket using the wiring diagrams
in
ELE Electrical Wiring Diagrams.
NOTE-
The ECM relay is also referred to as the DME main relay.

If battery voltage is present, continue testing.
If battery voltage is not present, check large red wire in re-
lay socltet. See ELE Electrical Wiring Diagrams.
- Reinstall relay and turn ignition on. Gain access to underside
of relay socket and check for ground at terminal
4 (85-brown
wire).
If ground is present, continue testing.
If ground is not present, switched ground signal from ECM
is missing. Check wire between ECM and relay.
- With ignition on and relay installed, check for battery voltage
at terminal
2 (87-redlwhite wire).
If battery voltage is present, relay has energized and is
functioning correctly.
If battery voltage is not present and all earlier tests are OK.
relay is faulty and should be replaced.

Body-General
Tailgate
The E39 Sporl Wagon tailgate is large with a low sill for easy
cargo loading. The tailgate opens to an angle of
88" mea-
sured from the rear roof pillar (D-pillar) and to a height of
2029
mm (79.8 in) measured from the ground to the upper edge of
the raised tailgate.
The rear window is bonded to a load bearing frame and can
be opened separately from the main tailgate. Tailgatesupport
gas springs are recessed into cavities in the roof.
Tailgate lock system
A mechanical tailgate lock cylinder is not used; the tailgate is
opened by the unlock pad above the license plate, the remote
tailgate switch located in the drivers kick panel, or via
FZV
(Iteyless entry) control.
4 An emergency release mechanism is incorporated into the
latch assembly to open the hatch from the vehicle interior if a
malfunction occurs.
The tailgate lock assembly includes an automatic soft close
(SCA) feature. The electrical operation of SCA is a function of
central body electronics
(ZKE Ill). The SCA actuator is locat-
ed in the rear cowl panel below the tailgate. The actuator is
controlled by a load relay in the General Module. A locking
cam is mounted on an eccentric that is driven by the actuator.
4 The SCA cam always turns in the same direction to open or
close the tailgate. The cam turns
180" to open or to close.
When the cam turns in the up direction the notch in the cam
SCA actuator pushes on a lever on the back of the latch in the tailgate. This
mechanically unlocks the latch. The tailgate is raised up and
can be opened.

Body-General
Airbags
Front airbags, s~de a~rbags, pyrotechnic seat belt tensioners
and the Battery Safety Terminal (BST) are integrated into the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and its variants.
NOTE-
The BMW SRS system is called Multiple Restra~nt System
(MRS). Over the years,
E39 cars were equipped with MRS,
MRS
11, MRS 111. Each version offers varied features and im-
provements over the previous system.
< As many as 8 airbags may be installed in E39 cars, depend-
ing on model and MRS version.
The front
airbags operate without sodium azide propellant,
widely considered an irritant when an
airbag is deployed.
Starting with
1999 models. "smart"front passenger and driver
airbags were installed. These are of the dual-threshold, dual
stage design, including a
sensorto help prevent the unneces-
sary deployment of the passenger side
airbag if the seat is un-
occupied.
MRS control Depend~ng on options chosen, one airbag may be installed in module each door of the sedan and Sport Wagon models, protecting
passengers against
s~de impacts.
Head Protection System (ITS)
airbags strelch diagonally
across the tops of the front doors.
Airbag deployment automatically triggers fuel shutoff, turns
on the hazard and interior lights, and unlocks the doors.
- -
WARNING -
Airbags are inflated by an explosive device. Handled im-
properly or without adequate safeguards,
airbag units can
be very dangerous. Special precautions must be observed
prior to any worlc at or near any of the airbags. See
721 Air-
bag System (SRS).
Always disconnect the battery and cover the negative
(-) battery terminal with an insulator before starting di-
agnostic, troubleshooting or service work on cars fitted
with SRS, and before doing any welding on the
car.

Trunk Lid, ~ail~atel
4 Loosen lower tailgate lock fasteners (arrows) so that tailgate
lock can center itself.
CAUTION-
The lower section of tailgate lock must not scrape against
the upper section.
The eccentric pin on the lower section of the tailgate
loclc rotates
when being locked from upper section of
tailgate lock.
- Disconnect tailgate latch actuator motor by squeeze locking
tabs on electrical harness connector and disconnecting.
CAUTION-
Eccentric pin in lower section of trunk lid lock must be at
lower dead center.
After disconnecting plug connector from actuator mo-
tor, tailgate is opened by electric
unloclcing fixture of up-
per section of tailgate loclc.
. For this reason, the cable connections to the upper
section of the tailgate loclc must remain connected.
Othe~tise the tailgate can only be opened by the emer-
gency handle. Eccentric pin of lower section of tailgate
loclc remains at bottom dead center point after unlock-
ing.
Tailgate alignment, height adjustment
4 Loosen left and right tailgate hinge fasteners (arrows) to al-
low tailgate to be adjusted.
CAUTION-
. When the hinge screws for the tailgate are released, the
position of the overall assembly changes with respect to
the body.
The position of the rear window frame to the tailgate re-
mains unchanged.
- Close tailgate carefully and check gap dimensions. See Tail-
gate alignment specifications below.
- Tighten hinge screws when gap dimensions are correct.
