position or when  a speed signal of 
4 mph is present  at the 
GM. 
Remote entry (FZV) 
< The  €39 remote  (keyless) entry system (FZV)  uses a tiny ra- 
dio transmitter  in the vehicle  key to 
lock and  unlock  the doors 
and  the trunk by  remote control.  There are a  number of other 
features  incorporated in FZV: 
Locltinglunloclting of fuel filler lid 
Selective unlocking  of driver's door  (as with key  in lock)

l~irba~ System (SRS) 
This repair group covers airbag components and replace- 
ment. 
Airbag system  repairand  fault diagnosis is not covered. 
Diagnostics, component testing, and 
airbag system  repair 
should  be carried out by trained BMW service technicians. 
Individual 
airbag system components  can only  be tested elec- 
tronically when  installed in the car.  BMW service testers 
DIS 
or MoDiC or equivalent must  be used  for diagnostic work. 
WARNING- 
Special  test equipment  is required  to retrieve airbag fault 
codes,  diagnose system  faults, and 
reseffturn off the air- 
bag  indicator light. The indicator  light will remain  on until 
any problem  has been corrected  and the fault  memory has 
been  cleared. 
Airbags are part  of the  BMW Multiple Restraint  System 
(MRS).  Three versions  of MRS  are available  in E39 models. 
Multiple Restraint Systems 
MRS and MRS II include the following restraint components: 
311 996-811  997

OED-2 
On-Board  Diagnostics 
Specialized OED II scan tool equipment is needed  to access 
the  fault memory and 
OED I1 data. 
The  extra hardware needed  to operate the OED 
I1 system 
consists mainly  of the  following: 
* Additional  oxygen sensors downstream  of the  catalytic 
converters. 
Fuel  tank  pressure sensor  and device to pressurize 
fuel 
storage system. 
Several engine and performance  monitoring devices 
Standardized  16-pin 
OED II connector  under the 
dashboard. 
Upgraded components  for the  federally  required reliability 
mandate. 
Malfunction indicator light (MIL) 
OED II software illuminates the malfunction indicator light 
(MIL) when emission  levels exceed 1.5 times  Federal 
standards. 
4 For E34 cars covered  by this  manual, three different  MIL 
symbols were used, depending  on year  and model. 
MIL  illuminates under  the following conditions: 
Engine management system fault  detected for 
two 
consecutive  OED iI drive cycles.  See Drive  cycle  in this 
repair  group. 
- Catalyst damaging fault detected. 
Component  malfunction causes emissions to exceed  1.5 
times  OED 
II standards. 
Manufacturer-defined specifications  exceeded.  Implausible input signal. 
Misfire 
faults. 
Leak  in evaporative  system, 
Oxygen sensors  observe no purge 
flow from  purge  valve 1 
evaporative system. 
ECM fails to enter  closed-loop operation within specified 
time. 
ECM or automatic transmission  control 
module (TCM) in 
"limp home" mode. 
ignition  key ON before cranking  (bulb 
check function). 
OED 
II fault memory (including  the MIL) can only  be reset 
using a  special scan tool. Removing  the connector from  the 
ECM  or disconnecting  the battery does not erase  the fault 
memory.

On-Board Diagnostics 
Professional diagnostic  scan tools available atthe time of this 
printing  include the BMW factory tools 
(DISplus, GTI, 
MoDiC) and  a small  number  of aftermarket BMW-specific 
tools.  See 
020 Maintenance. 
In  addition  to the  professional  line of scan  tools, inexpensive 
generic  OBD 
II scan tool software programs and handheld 
units  are readily available.  Though limited, they  are 
nonetheless powerful diagnostic tools. These tools read  live 
data  streams and freeze frame  data as well  as a host  of other 
valuable diagnostic data. 
Diagnostic monitors 
Diagnostic monitors run tests and checks  on specific 
emission control systems, components, and functions. 
A complete drive cycle is  requiredforthe tests to bevalid. See 
Drive  cycle  in this  repair group.  The diagnostic monitor 
signals  the 
ECM of the loss  or impairment  of the  signal or 
component  and determines  if a  signal or sensor is faulty 
based on 
3 conditions: 
* Signal or component  shorted to ground 
Signal or component  shorted to 
B+ 
Signal or component  missing (open circuit) 
The OBD 
II system  monitors all emission control  systems that 
are  installed. Emission control systems  vary by vehicle  model 
and  year.  For example,  a vehicle may not  be equipped with 
secondary air injection, so  no secondary air readiness  code 
would  be present. 
OBD 
II software monitors  the following: 
Oxygen  sensors 
Catalysts 
Engine misfire 
- Fuel tank  evaporative control system 
Secondary air injection  Fuel system 
Oxygen sensor monitoring.  When driving conditions allow, 
response rate  and switching time  of each oxygen sensor is 
monitored.  The oxygen  sensor heater function is also 
monitored.  The OBD 
II system differentiates between 
precataylst and post-catalyst  oxygen sensors  and reads each 
one individually.  In order 
forthe oxygen sensor  to be 
effectively monitored,  the system must  be in closed  loop 
operation.

OBD-6 
On-Board Diagnostics 
Fuel system monitoring.  This monitor looks at the fuel 
delivery  needed (long 
/short term fuel trim)  for proper engine 
operation  based on programmed  data. If too much or not 
enough  fuel is delivered over  a predetermined  time, a DTC is 
set  and  the MIL  illuminates. 
Fuel trim  refers to adiustments  to base fuel schedule. 
Lono- ., term  fuel trim refers to gradual adjustments  to the fuel 
calibration adjustment as compared  to short term  fuel trim. 
Long  term fuel trim adjustments compensate  for gradual 
changes  that occur over time. 
Fuel  system monitoring monitors the calculated injection time 
(ti)  in relation  to enginespeed,  load and precatalyticconverter 
oxygen 
sensor(s) signals. 
Using this data,  the system optimizes  fuel delivery for  all 
engine operating conditions. 
Evaporative  system monitoring.  This monitor checks  the 
the  fuel storage  system and related fuel lines for leaks.  It can 
detect very small leaks anywhere  in the  system. 
A leak detection  unit (LDP  or DMTL) is  used to pressurize  the 
evaporative  control system  on a continuous basis (as  the 
drive cycle allows)  and to 
check system integrity. 
Drive  cycle 
The OED II drive cycle  is an  important concept  in 
understanding  OBD 
II requirements. The purpose of the  drive 
cycle  is to  run  ail of the  emission-related on-board diagnostics 
over a broad  range of driving conditions. 
A drive cycle is considered complete when  all of the 
diagnostic monitors have  run their tests without interruption. 
~ora drive cycle to  be initiated,  the vehicle must  be started 
cold  and brought  up to 
1 60°F and  at least  40°F  above its 
original starting temperature. 
Readiness codes 
Inspection/maintenance (I/M) readiness  codes are mandated 
as  part  of OBD 
II. The  readiness  code is stored aftercomplete 
diagnostic monitoring  of specified components  and systems 
is  carried  out. The  readiness  code function was designed  to 
prevent  manipulating  an 
I/M emission test procedure  by 
clearing  faults codes or disconnecting  the ECM  or battery.

On-Board Diagnostics 
Readiness codes indicate whether  the OED Ii system is 
actually ready  to monitor the various emission control 
systems  on the vehicle.  The vehicle must complete a drive 
cycle  to set  readiness codes.  The code is binary: 
0 for ready 
1 for not ready 
f 
4 The  parameters which are monitored  for readiness  are: 
llM readiness codes 
1. Catalyst efficiency 
2. Catalyst  heating 
3. Fuel tank evaporative control 
4. Secondary  air injection 
5. 
NC refrigerant 
6. Oxygen  sensors 
7. Oxygen sensor heaters 
8. Exhaust gas recirculation 
Readiness  codes are set  to 1 (not ready)  in the following 
cases: 
~9~~.f~[<+t~t~p:,~;:#j~~{]~y~ ,,... , , 8701Dbd001

readiness. Readiness codes 
can be displayed  using BMW 
and  aftermarket scan tools. 
An 
OED II scan  tool can  be used to determine IIM readiness. 
Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) 
SAE  standard J2012 mandates a 5-digit diagnostic trouble 
code  (DTC) standard. Each digit represents a specific value. 
Emission  related DTCs 
start with the letter P for power train. 
When the  engine service 
light (MIL) is illuminated  it indicates 
that  a DTC has  been stored. 
DTCs are stored  as soon as they  occur, whether or not the 
engine service  light illuminates. 
DTCs store  and display a  time stamp. 
DTCs record  the current fault status: Present, not currently 
present,  or intermittent.

DTCs provide  a freeze  frame or snap-shot  of a vehicle 
performance or emissions  fault at the moment  that the fault 
first occurs.  This information is accessible through  generic 
OED I1 scan tools. 
Freeze frame  data contains,  but is not  limited  to, the following 
information: 
Engine load (calculated) 
Engine rpm 
Short and
