Running losses (312-way) valve,
removing and installing
The running losses (312-way) valve is located under the car
beneath the driver's seat, just ahead of the fuel filter. A protec-
tive covershieldsfuel system components from road hazards
and dirt.
The engine control module
(ECM) controls the operation of
the 312-way valve (pulse-width modulated). On engine start
up, the valve solenoid is energized for 20 seconds in order to
supply full fuel volume to the fuel rail.
After20 seconds, the
solenoid is deactivated and sprung closed (the bypass is
opened). This reduces the amount of fuel circulating through
the fuel rail and diverts the excess to return to the fuel tank
through the fuel pressure regulator.
The fuel injectors are supplied with pressurized fuel, but ex-
cess fuel is diverted to the fuel tank without first passing
through the fuel rail. This prevents the excess fuel from ab-
sorbing heat in the engine compartment, thus lowering the
temperature and amount of vaporization in the fuel tank.

The 312-way valve is also activated briefly if an engine misfire
is detected. This provides full fuel flow through the fuel rail to
determine if the misfire was caused by a lean fuel condition.
The valve is monitored by the ECM forfaults.
- Using BMW or compatible scan tool, read out fault memory.
See
OBD On-Board Diagnostics.
- Turn off ignition.
- Raise car and support safely.
CA UTIOW
Male sure the car is stable and well suppodedat all times.
Use a professional automotive lift
orjack stands designed for
the purpose.
A floor jack is not adequate support.
- Worlting under car beneath driver's seat, remove protective
panel from fuel filter and 312-way valve.
- Clamp off fuel lines at 312-way valve.
4 To remove 312-way valve (V-8 model shown):
Disconnect electrical harness connector
(A) from valve.
Remove vacuum hose
(B) from fuel pressure regulator.
* Remove hose clamps (arrows) and disconnect fuel lines.
Remove
M6 mounting nuts and lower 312-way valve.
WARNING-
Fuel will be spilled. Use shop rags to capture fuelas fuellines
are disconnected. Do not
smoke or work near heaters or oth-
er fire hazards.
- Installation is reverse of removal. Use new hose clamps
NOTE-
Install protective cover and seals correctly to keep moisture
and road dirt out of underbody fuel system components.

DSC system I
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) utilizes many principles and
components of the ASC traction control system. DSC is ac-
tive throughoutthe driving range, unlike ASC which is only ac-
tive during acceleration and braking. DSC helps stabilize the
vehicle in cornering and avoidance maneuvers by adjusting
engine controls such as throttle, ignition, fuel injection and the
application of
brake pressure individually to the wheels.

4 The DSC control module uses various inputs to determine
vehicle instability during braking, cornering, or reduced trac-
tion situations. Based upon these inputs the ABSIDSC con-
trol module sends outputs to the engine control module and
the ABSIDSC hydraulic unit to activate torque reduction pro-
tocols and braking intervention.

The DSC system can be toggled on and off by a switch
mounted on the center console. Turning off the DSC system
does not disable ABS or ASC functions.
