Maintenance
Service Interval lndicator (Sll)
The BMW Service Interval lndicator (SII) notifies the driver
when oil change and other service is required. The
Sll dis-
plays the phrase "OIL SERVICE"
or"INSPECTI0N" and 7
light emitting diodes (LEDs) in the Instrumentcluster: 5green,
one yellow and one red.
For the
1997 and later 5 Series, BMW introduced an oil
change interval based on fuel consumption. The advantages
of this system are:
Fuel consumption is an accurate method of determining
engine load and the need for service.
The processing electronics are simple.
Resetting of indicator before the scheduled time will not
affect the time to the next service.
4 The Sll is programmed to measure a set volume of con-
sumed fuel. This volume varies between models, dependent
on vehicle and engine size. The
Sil control unit receives a
signal from the engine control module (ECM) when the vehi-
cle is in use. As
20% of the programmed fuel volume is con-
sumed, one of the green LEDs will go out. Each successive
20% of fuel consumption will cause the next LED to go out
until
100% of the measured volume has been consumed. At
this point the yellow LED will come on, indicating that service
is due. When
108% of the measured volume has been con-
sumed, the red LED will illuminate, indicating that service is
overdue.
Service Interval Indicator (SII), resetting
After the specified maintenance has been carried out, the Sll
memory should be reset.
NOTE-
For reference, the BMW oil service requirements are approx-
imately equivalent to the maintenance tliat other European
manufacturers specify at intervals with a maximum of every
15.000 miles or I2 months.

Fuel pump power consumption, testing
To achieve accurate test results, the battery voltage at the
fuel pump connector should be
12.6 volts. Charge the battery
as necessary.
A higher than normal power consumption may indicate a
worn fuel pump, which may cause intermittent fuel starvation
due to pump overheating and seizure. The only remedy is
pump replacement.
A lower than normal power consumption
may indicate a blockage. Be sure to check that the return line
and the pump pickup are not obstructed before replacing the
pump.
- Expose right side access cover:
Peel forward lip of carpet.
Release rubber grommet from center of access cover insu-
lation.
Peel back insulation at perforations to expose fuel tank ac-
cess cover.
Remove right side cover to expose electrical harness con-
nector.
Disconnect harness connector from tank sending unit by slid-
ing lock back. Lift off connector.
Test fuel pump for current draw by attaching digital ammeter
between pump and harness (terminal
2, whitelblue wire) and
connect a jumper wire between pump and harness (terminal
1, brown wire) as shown.
CAUTION-
Do not allow the test leads to short to ground.
NOTE-
See 600 Electrical Systern-General for information on elec-
trical tests
using a digital multirneter.
Run pump as described in Operating fuel pump for tests.
- Compare ammeter reading with specification listed in ac-
companying table.
