Fuel Injection Evaporative fuel system pressure leak
diagnosis, overview
(M5.2.1 only)
1998 540i models are equipped with an evaporative fuel sys-
tem pressure leak diagnosis system. The main component of
this system is the leak diagnosis 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 sys-
tem is capable of detecting a leak as small as 0.5 mm.
The LDP, located in the left rear wheel housing, is a unitized
component that contains the following:
Vacuum chamber. Pneumatic pump chamber.
DME activated vacuum solenoid
Reed switch (provides switched voltage
feedback signal to
ECM).
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 integrated 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).

When system faults are detected, a diagnostic trouble code
(DTC) is stored in the engine control module (ECM). The MIL
also illuminates
if an emissions-related fault is detected.
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
of diagnostic time and to help avoid incorrect component re-
placement and possible damage to system components.
CA UTIOI\C
The tests in this section may set fault codes (DTCs) in the
ECM and illuminate the MIL. After all testing is completed,
access and clear DTC fault memory using an OBD
I1 or
BMW compatible scan tool. See OBD On-Board Diag-
nostics.
. Only use a digital multimeter for electrical tests.
Relay positions can vary. Be sure to confirm relay posi-
tion by identifying the wiring in the
socket using the wir-
ing diagrams found in ELE Electrical Wiring
Diaqrams.
NOTE-
= OBD I1 fault memory (including an illuminated MIL) can
only be reset using the special scan tool. Removing the
connector from the ECM or disconnecting the battery will
not erase the fault memory.
0 The BMW-dedicated 20-pin diagnostic link connector
(DLC) is in the right rear of the engine compartment. The
20-pin DLC was eliminated on models after
6/2000.
The 16-pin OBD I1 diagnostic connector (arrow) is located
inside the car on the lower left dash panel.

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.

matching wiring colors and terminal numbers.
4 Check for voltage at terminal 6 of main relay socket (30-red
wire).
If battery voltage is present, continue testing.
If battery voltage is not present, check large red wire in re-
lay socltet. See ELE Electrical Wiring Diagrams.
- Reinstall relay and turn ignition on. Gain access to underside
of relay socket and check for ground at terminal

If battery voltage is present, relay has energized and is
functioning correctly.
If battery voltage is not present and all earlier tests are OK.

Fuel Tank and Fuel Pump
Warnings and cautions
Observe the following warnings and cautions when servicing
the fuel system.
WARNING-
* The fuel system is designed to retain pressure even when
the ignition is off. When working with the fuelsystem, loos-
en the fuel lines slowly to allow residual
fuel pressure to
dissipate. Avoid spraying fuel. Use shop rags to capture
leaking fuel.
Before beginning any work on the fuel system, place a
fire extinguisher in the vicinity of the work area.
Fuel is highly flammable. When working around fuel, do
not disconnect any wires that could cause electrical
sparks. Do not smoke or worknearheaters or other fire
hazards.
* Always unscrew the fuel tank cap to release pressure
in the
tanlc before working on the tank or lines.
When disconnecting a fuel hose, wrap shop rag around
end of hose to prevent spray of fuel under pressure.
Do not use a work light with an incandescent bulb near
any fuel. Fuel may spray on the hot bulb causing a fire.
0 Make sure the worlc area is properly ventilated.
CAUTION-
- Prior to disconnecting the battery, read the battery discon-
nection cautions given in
001 General Cautions an4
Warnings.
Before
making any electrical tests with the ignition
turned on, disable the ignition system as described in
120 Ignition System. Be sure the battery is discon-
nected when replacing components.
To prevent damage to the ignition system or other DME
components, including the engine control module
(ECM), always connect and disconnect wires and test
equipment with the ignition off.
Cleanliness is essential when
worl~ing with the fuel sys-
tem. Thoroughly clean the fuel line unions before dis-
connecting any of the lines.
Use only clean tools. Keep removed parts clean and
sealed or covered with a clean, lint-free cloth, especial-
ly if completion of the repair is delayed.
Do not move the car while the fuel system is open.
Avoid using high pressure compressed air to blow out
lines and components. High pressure can rupture inter-
nal seals and gaskets.
Always replace seals, O-rings and hose clamps.

Fuel pump fuse and relay
Troubleshooting of any fuel pump fault should begin with
checking the fuel pump fuse and the fuel pump relay. The
DME main relay should also be checked. The fuel pump relay
is located behind right side luggage compartment interior
panel.

- Fuse 31 in glove compartment fuse panel supplies power to
coil side of fuel pump relay. Engine control module (ECM)
supplies switched ground to relay. During starting, fuel pump
runs as long as ignition switch is in START position and con-
tinues to run once engine starts. If electrical system fault in-
terrupts power to fuel pump, engine will not run.
. .
Operating fuel pump for tests
- To operate fuel pump for testing purposes without having to
run engine, bypass fuel pump relay to power pump directly.
< To run fuel pump, open luggage compartment and release
right side trim panel.
