Charging system quick-check
Use a digital multimeter to measure voltage across the bat-
tery terminals with key off and then again with engine running.
Battery voltage should be about 12.6 volts with key off and be-
tween 13.5 and 14.5 volts with engine running.
NOTE-
The regulated voltage (engine running) should be between
13.2 and 14.5, depending on temperature andoperating con-
ditions.
If the voltage is higher than 14.8, the voltage regula-
tor or
mulitfunction controller is most likely faulty
Check for clean and tight battery cables. Check ground cable
running from negative
(-) battery terminal to chassis and
ground cable running from engine to chassis. Check alterna-
tor drive belt condition and tension.

* Do not disconnect the battery while the engine is running.
Damage to the alternator and/or engine electronic systems
may result.
Only use a digital multimeter when testing charging
system components.

- Check for battery voltage at terminal 50 of starter motor with
key in start position. If voltage is not present, check wiring be-
tween ignition switch and starter terminal. Check the EWS
system and other inputs that disrupt terminal
56 to the start-
er. See ELE Electrical
Wiring Diagrams. If voltage is
present and no other visible wiring faults can be found, prob-
lem is most likely in starter motor.
Starter, removing and installing
(6-cylinder engine)
The starter is removed from below. Access to starter bolts is
difficult. Be sure to have the proper tools on hand before pro-
ceeding.
NOTE-
Access to the starter wiring is very limited. Forbetteraccess,
it may be necessary to remove the intake manifold.
- Disconnect negative (-) battery cable.

OBI) II software and hardware is incorporated in the engine
management control systems. The
OED II system monitors
components that influence exhaust and evaporative emis-
sions. If a problem is detected, the
OED I1 system stores the
associated fault code and condition.

4 If vehicle emission levels exceed 1.5 times Federally mandat-
ed criteria, the
OED II system illuminates a malfunction indi-
cator light
(MIL) in the instrument cluster.
For the
E39 cars covered by this manual, three different
MIL symbols were used, depending on year and model.
See illustration.
When faults arise, or if the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is
illuminated, begin troubleshooting by connecting BMW ser-
vice tester
DISplus, MoDiC, GTl or equivalent scan tool. The
capabilities of OBD
II software has the potential to save hours

Fuel Injection I
Mass air flow (MAF) sensor,
checking and replacing
4 The hot film mass air flow (MAF) sensor (arrow) sends a
varying voltage (approx.
0.5 - 4.5 vdc) to the ECM represent-
ing the measured intake air. The air mass input signal is pro-
duced electronically by the
MAFsensorusing a heated metal
film in the air flow stream.
The ECM relay provides the operating voltage to the MAF
sensor. As air flows through the MAF sensor, the film is
-
cooled. To maintain the film at a constant temperature, addi-
tional heating current is necessary. It is this additional current
that is the basis for the input signal.
If there is no output signal from the MAF sensor, the ECM op-
erates the engine using throttle position and engine rpm in-
puts. A faulty MAF sensor illuminates the MIL.
A faulty MAF sensor can produce the following problems:
Difficult to restart when engine is hot.
Engine starts then stalls.
Engine starts and runs only with accelerator pedal de-
pressed.
Disconnect electrical harness connector from MAF sensor
(arrow).
- Turn ignition on and check for voltage and ground at connec-
tor.
There should be ground at pin
1 and battery voltage at pin
3.
If any faults are found, check for wiring breaks between
MAF sensor and ECM and between MAF sensor and ECM
relay.
NOTE-
Visually inspect the sensor for damage, missing or blocked
screens. The screens affect air flow calibration. Also inspect
the sealing O-rings where the sensor inserts into the air
filter
housing and intake boot. Ensure the pin connections are
clean and tight.
4 Connect a BMW-compatible scan tool or an OBD II generic
scan tool. Check air mass signal (load signal) with the engine
at idle. Raise idle speed and check that load signal changes
with rpm.

CAUTION-
Be sure ignition is OFF before disconnecting or reconnecting
DME system components.
NOTE-
Do not confuse the throttle position sensor on the main Nirot-
tle body with the throttle position switch on the secondary
throttle body, where applicable.
- Remove two mounting screws holding sensor to throttle
housing.
- Installation is reverse of removal. Clear adaptation settings
from ECM using BMW-compatible scan tool.
NOTE-
Poor idle quality may be noticeable for a period if the adapta-
tion settings are not cleared after installing new TPS.
ldle speed control valve,
checking and replacing
The idle speed control valve regulates idle speed by redirect-
inq airaround the throttlevalve.The idlespeed control valve is
mounted on the underside of the intake manifold adjacent to
the dipstick tube bracket. Accessing the valve is best accom-
plished by first removing the air filter housing and the throttle
body assembly.
The valve issupplied with
batteryvoltagefrom the ECM relay.
The idle speed control valve incorporates a two-coil rotary ac-
tuator. The ground sides of each coil are pulsed
sirnulta-
neously by the ECM. The duty cycle of each circuit is varied to
achieve the required idle speed.
Afaulty ldle speed control valve sets afault code and the MIL
is illuminated when
OED II fault criteria are exceeded.
Before checking the idle speed control valve, confirm that the
throttle position sensor is working correctly.
- With engine running, check that idle speed control valve is
buzzing.
- Turn on AIC system or shift transmission into drive. ldle
should remain steady or increase slightly.

Secondary air injection, overview
The secondary air system pumps ambient air into the exhaust
stream afler a cold engine start to reduce the warm up time of
the catalytic converters and to reduces HC and CO emis-
sions. The ECM controls and monitors the secondary air in-
jection system. The secondary air pump operates at a start
temperature of between 10°C (50°F) and 40°C (104°F) and
continues to operate for a maximum of
2 minutes at idle
speed.
The electric air pump draws in ambient air and supplies it to
the divertervalve. The vacuum ventvalve (solenoid) switches
vacuum to open the divertervalve when activated by the
ECM. Once opened, the diverter valve allows air to be
pumped into the exhaust stream.
