- If voltage is present as described above, check wiring be-
tween ECM and valve. If no wiring faults are found, check
ECM signal to valve.
- When replacing idle speed control valve, clean and inspect
all sealing areas.
. Inspect sealing ring in throttle body and replace if neces-
sary.
Throttle position sensor (TPS),
testing and replacing
The throttle position sensor (arrow) is mounted on the side
of the primary throttle housing and is directly connected to
the throttle valve shaft. The ECM sends a voltage signal to
the potentiometer-type sensor and monitors the voltage that
comes back. Resistance decreases (voltage increases) as
the throttle opens.
NOTE-
Do not confuse the TPS on the primary throttle housing with
the throttle switch on the
ASC secondary throttle housing.
4 Check throttle position sensor function by disconnecting har-
ness connector and checking across terminals. If any faults
are found, replace throttle position sensor.
Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor,
testing and replacing
Throttle position sensor (M62 engine)
The ECT sensor is located on the front of the engine in the
coolanVthermostat flange.The ECTsensor is a dual tempera-
ture sensor. One circuit provides coolant temperature infor-
mation to the ECM while the other circuit provides coolant
temperature information to the instrument cluster.
The ECM determines the correct ignition timing and
airlfuel
mixture required for the engine by monitoring an applied volt-
age
(5 vdc) to the sensor. The voltage drop across the sensor

Intake air temperature
([AT) sensor,
testing and replacing
Disconnect harness connector from intake air temperature
sensor
(A) at air filter housing.
Turn ignition on. Using a digital voltmeter, check for
5 volts
between supply voltage wire in connector and ground.
If volt-
age is not present, test ECM
inputs/outputs as described lat-
er.
With harness connector disconnected, test resistance across
sensor terminals. If any faults are found, replace IAT sensor.

Auxiliary throttle valve (ADS)
(M62 and M62 TU engine), replacing
ADS components 540i models with ASC and DSC are fitted with a motor-driv-
en auxiliary throttle valve and housing ahead of the standard Throttle position switch throttle housing. The ADS throttle valve controls engine throt-
tle intervention based on signals from the DME control mod-
ule if road conditions, such as slipping driven wheel, warrant
reduced engine power.
ADS throttle housing
Bowden cable NOTE-
Before replacing the ADS throttle housing, read DME fault
ADS lhroltle actualor codes.
- ADS throttle housing replacement:
Switch off ignition and disconnect electrical connector on
ADS throttle body.
Remove hose from idle control valve.
Loosen hose clamps and remove throttle housing air in-
take boot.
Disconnect cable from ADS throttle body.
- Unscrew 3 bolts and remove ADS throttle body.
Installation is reverse of removal.
- Adjust cable so that no free play is present.

Suspension, Steering and Brakes - ~enerail
The main components of the system are the wheel speed
(pulse) sensors, the
ABSIASC or ABSIDSC control module,
and the hydraulic control unit.
Traction control also comes into operation during decelera-
tion. Decelerating on snowy or icy road surfaces can lead to
rear wheel slip. If a rear wheel starts to drag or lock up, the
ASC system can limit the problem by adjusting throttle, fuel
injection and ignition timing.
4 A switch (arrow) on the center console is used to toggle the
ASC on or off.
NOJE-
Even with the ASC system turned off, if the ASC control mod-
ule senses a difference in wheel speed (one wheel spinning)
the
ASC system applies modulated braling force to the slip-
ping wheel until traction is regained. There is no override of
fuelinjection function.
The ASC system is designed to be maintenance free. There
are no adjustments that can be made. Repair and trouble-
shooting of the ASC system requires special test equipment
and knowledge and should be performed only by an autho-
rized
BMW dealer.

Brakes, bleeding
The procedure below requires a BMW Service Tester (DIS-
pluslGTl/MoDiC).
- Determine type of traction control (ASC, DSC with precharge
pump, DSC without precharge pump). Be sure to use correct
specification brake fluid, according to application table below.
Brake fluid applications
ABS I ASC and ABS / DSC models DOT 4 brake fluid
with precharge pump (to 911998)
ABS I DSC models without precharge DOT 4 low viscosity

< Remove left side interior ventilation microfilter housing:
Remove upper cover and microfilter loclting clip
(A).
Release locking clamp (B), and rotate air tube in direction
of arrow to remove.
Disconnect wiring harness from hood switch
(C).
Release filter body mounting clamp (D) and remove lower
microfilter housing.
- Top off bralte fluid in reservoir and connect BMW Service
Tester to
20 pin Data Link Connector (DLC) under hood or 16
pin
DLCIOBD I1 connector under dash.
- Call up service function Bleeding ABS / ASC or service func-
tion Bleeding ABS
/ DSC, depending on installed system.
- Fill pressure bleeding device with the correct brake fluid and
connect to brake fluid reservoir and apply pressurize.
Do not exceed a pressure of
2 bar (29 psi) when pressure
bleeding the
brake system. Excessive pressure will damage
4 Starting at right rear wheel, connect bleed hose and fluid re-
ceptacle to bleeder screw (arrow).
CA UTlON-
Bleeder hose must always remain submersed in clean brake
fluid whenever the bleeder valve is open.

Brakes
- Open bleeder screw. Carry out bleeding procedure with
BMW Service Tester until clear, bubble-free fluid flows.
Models with DSC: After BMW Service Tester bleeding rou-
tine has finished, press brake pedal to floor
5 times until
clear, bubble-free fluid runs out. Close right rear bleeder
valve.
Models with ASC: Close right rear bleeder valve.
- Repeat procedure at left rear brakes.
- Repeat BMW Service Tester bleeding at right front brakes.
Models with DSC: After
BMW Service Tester bleeding rou-
tine has finished, press brake pedal to floor
5 times until
clear, bubble-free fluid runs out. Close right front bleeder
valve.
Models with ASC: After BMW Service Tester bleeding rou-
tine has finished, press brake pedal to floor
12 times until
clear, bubble-free fluid runs out. Close right front bleeder
valve.
- Repeat procedure at left front brakes.
- Remove brake bleeding apparatus and disconnect BMW
Service Tester. Top up brake fluid. Check to make sure

Brakes
- Pump brake pedal a few times to reduce vacuum in brake
booster. This makes removal of
check valve easier.
- Remove or loosen hose clamp(s) at check valve.
- Disconnect hoses. Remove valve to test or replace.
NOTE-
If valve is pressed into grommet in vacuum booster, pry it out
carefully.
- Reinstall valve using new hose clamps
NOTE-
Install the valve so that the molded arrow is pointing toward
the intake manifold.

CAUTIO&
All E39 vehicles sold in the USA are equipped with Antiloclc
Braking System (ABS) and either Automatic Stability Control
(ASC) or Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). In order for the
bralchg and stability controls to work properk if brake fluid
lines are disconnected and reconnected,
male sure that the
brake system is bled by an authorized BMW dealer or other
qualified repair facility using the BMW Service Tester: See
Brake Bleeding earlier in this group.
- Disconnect negative (-) cable from battery.
I CAUTION- I
Prior to disconnecting the battery read the battery discon-
nection cautions given in
001 General Cautions and
I Warnings. I
- Remove bralte master cylinder as described earlier.
- Disconnect engine vacuum hose from bralte booster.
