Working in right  rear of engine compartment: 
Release interior  ventilation filter cover  latch 
(A) and re- 
move cover. 
Release plastic  locking  tab 
(6). 
Rotate duct inward (arrow) to unlock  from bulk head  and 
remove  duct. 
Release spring 
lock (C) to  remove  lower iilter housing. 
Slide filter housing  away from inner  fender  to remove. 
- Remove electrical  box (E-box)  cover fasteners  and remove 
cover. 
NOTE- 
OBD I1 fault  memory  (including  an illuminated MIL)  can 
only  be reset  using  an electronic scan  tool. Removing the 
connector from the  ECM or disconnecting  the battery  will 
not erase  the fault 
memory. 
The  BMW-dedicated 20-pin diagnostic linlc connector 
(DLC) is in the right rear  of the engine  compartment. 
The  16-pin  OBD 
I1 diagnostic connector (arrow) is located 
inside the  car on the  lower left  dash panel. 
ECM relay, testing 
Fuses lor ECM In E-bbx 502130488 
4 The engine control  module (ECM) relay  is energized  via the 
ECM  and supplies  battery  positive 
(B+) power to many  of the 
engine  management  components and subsystems. 
If this re- 
lay  is faulty,  the engine  will not start. 
Relay  positions  can vary.  Be sure  to confirm  relay position  by 
identifying the wiring  in the  socket  using the wiring  diagrams 
in 
ELE Electrical  Wiring Diagrams. 
NOTE- 
The ECM  relay is also  referred to  as the  DME main  relay.

Fuel Injection 
With ignition  off, remove main  relay (K6300) (arrow) in 
E-box. 
- With ignition on  and relay installed, check for  battery voltage 
on  terminal 
2 (87). 
4 Check for voltage  at terminal  8 (30) on relay socket. 
If  battery  voltage  is present, relay  has energized  and is 
functioning  correctly.

If  battery  voltage is  not present  and all earlier tests  are OK, 
relay  is faulty  and should  be replaced. 
If 
battery voltage  is present continue testing. 
If  battery  voltage  is not present, check fuse  109 (80-amp 
fusible  link)  under passenger seat carpet.  See ELE  Elec- 
trical Wiring  Diagrams. 
- Reinstall relay  and turn ignition on. Gain access to back  side 
of  relay socket  and check  for ground on terminal 
4 (85). 
If  ground  is present  continue testing. 
If  ground is  not present,  signal from ECM is missing. Check 
NOTE- 
If no  faults  are found  during testing  but power  is not  reaching 
the 
ECM or  other  components, check the fuses in the fuse
