4 The M62 TU engine uses a continuously variable VANOS
system at each intake camshaft. This system enhances en-
gine performance and reduces tailpipe emissions. Both cam-
shafts are adjusted simultaneously within
20" (maximum) of
the camshafts rotational axis. This equates to a maximum
span of
40°crankshaft rotation.

NOTE-
The fuel filter is available as a replacement part without the
fuel pressure regulator. When replacing the fuel filter, trans-
fer the fuel pressure regulator from the old
filter to the new fil-
ter.
Engine idle speed control is a function of the EDK. The M62
TU engine does not use a separate idle control valve.

< The M62 TU engine uses an electrically controlled throttle
valve called EDK. The throttle plate is positioned by a DC
gear reduction motor based on inputs signals to the ECM
from the pedal position sensor (PWG).
When the accelerator pedal is moved, the PWG provides a
change in the monitored signals. The ME
7.2 control module
compares the input signal to a programmed map and appro-
priately activates the EDK motor via proportional pulse width
modulated control signals. The control module self-checks its
activation of the EDK motor via the EDK feedbaclc
potentiom-
eters.

Evaporative system pressure leak
diagnosis, overview
The M62 TU engine is equipped wlth an evaporative fuel sys-
tem pressure leak diagnosis system. The main component of
this system is the leakdiagnosis pump (LDP). The function of
the LDP is to pressurize the fuel tank and the evaporative
emission system for the purpose of detecting leaks.
This system iscapable of detecting a
lealcas small as0.5 mm.
The LDP, located in the left rear wheel housing, contains the
following:
Vacuum chamber. Pneumatic pump chamber
DME activated vacuum solenoid
Reed switch (provides switched voltage
feedback signal to
DME).
The vacuum supply line is in the wiring harness from the en-
gine compartment and runs down the driver's side of the vehi-
cle.
The canister vent valve is
~ntegrated into the LDP, which IS
electrically controlled by the ECM. The canister vent valve is
opened to provide fresh air entry into the fuel system only dur-
ing purge operation.
- Purge operation characteristics:
Off idle through full throttle: purge valve opened by pulse
width modulated (PWM) control of the ECM. PWM duty cy-
cle varies by engine operating conditions
(e.g. warm idle,
purge valve opened slightly; cold
idleldecel with engine
temp
< 67" C. purge valve always closed).

Fuel Injection
Secondary air injection, overview
The secondary air system pumps ambient air into the exhaust
stream afteracoid engine start to reduce the warm-up time of
the catalytic converters and to reduces HC and CO emis-
sions. The ME
7.2 ECM controls and monitors the secondary
air injection system. The secondary air pump operates at a
starttemperature 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
checlc valve. The vacuum vent valve (solenoid) switches
vacuum to open the
checlc valve when activated by the ECM.
Once opened, the checlc
valve allows air to be pumped into
the exhaust stream.
4 The secondary air injection system consists of the following
components:
1. Secondary air pump relay
2. Oxygen sensors
3. Catalytic converters
4. Electric air pump
5. Non-return valve
6. Vacuum vent valve

Fuel Tank and Fuel Pump
Fuel pump
The electric fuel pump is mounted in the fuel tank in tandem
with the right side fuel level sender. The fuel pump delivers
pressurized fuel to the fuel injection system.
A pressure regu-
lator maintains system pressure. The quantity of fuel supplied
exceeds demand, so excess fuel returns to the fuel tank via a
return line. See
130 Fuel Injection for more information.
NOTE-
Fuel pump removal procedures are given under Fuel level
sender (right side) and fuel pump, removing and install-
ing.
Fuel tank evaporative control system
Evaporative control, also referred to as running losses con-
trol, is designed to prevent fuel system evaporative losses
from venting into the atmosphere.
The components of this system allow control and monitoring
of evaporative losses by the on-board diagnostic
(OED II)
software incorporated into the engine control module (ECM).
NOTE-
1997 V-8 models (540i) with Bosch DME M5.2 are not
equipped with an
OBD I1 running losses monitoring system.
Fuel tank evaporative
control system
(models with
DME MS42.0)
4 The main components of the evaporative control system and
their functions:
Fuel overflow
tank acts as a liquidlvapor separator
Carbon canister stores evaporated fuel.
Plumbing ducts vapors from fuel tank to canister and from
canister to intake
manifold.
- Carbon canister purge valve is controlled by enginecontrol
module (ECM).
Running losses or 312-way valve (not shown) shunts ex-
cess fuel volume directly
back to fuel tank before it circu-
lates through injector fuel rail (models with Siemens MS42
or Bosch M5.2.1 engine management only).
Leak detection unit (LDP or DMTL) pressurizes fuel
tank
and evaporative system to monitor system leaks (models
with Siemens MS42 or Bosch M5.2.1 and later).
Leak detection systems vary among models and years, and
are further described in
130 Fuel Injection.
NOTE -
"3/2-way valve", 'tunning losses valve" and "fuel changeover
valve" are used interchangeably
in BMW technical literature.

# Before removing tank, be sure that all hot components,
such as the exhaust system, are completely cooled down.
Fuel may be spilled. Do not smoke or
work near heat-
ers or other fire hazards.
- Start engine and allow to run 10 - 15 seconds to fill fuel com-
pensating siphon assembly. This will allow both lobes of fuel
tank to he drawn off through fuel filler pipe,
- Disconnect negative cable from battery.
CAUTION-
Prior to disconnecting the batteg read the battery discon-
nection cautions given
in 001 General Warnings and Cau-
tions.
- Remove fuel tank filler cap
- Slide suction hose into filler neck about 130 cm (51 in.), twist-
ing as necessary. Withdraw fuel into storage unit.
- Monitor fuel level reduction in both lobes:
- Remove rear seat cushion and access both fuel tank send-
er harness connectors.
Use multimeter to measure resistance at both senders,
Resistance should drop as fuel level drops.
- If siphoning mechanism is faulty, drain left tank lobe sepa-
rately by removing sender cover and pumping fuel directly
out of left lobe.
