MS 42.0 throttle  valve assembly,  replacing 
< The  motor driven throttle  valve for the  MS 42.0 system is  re- 
- ferred to as  MDK  (motor driven throttle valve). The  MDK unit 
is electronically operated to regulate intake air  flow by the 
ECM. 
The 
MS 42.0 system  uses a throttle cable  from the accelera- 
tor pedal  to the  MDK  unit. The throttle cable is connected di- 
rectly to the integral pedal position  sensor 
(PWG) in the  MDK 
unit. This sensor communicates pedal position  to the ECM, 
which  in turn electronically regulates throttle plate position. 
The MDK pulley  is linked to the throttle shaft  by springs  to al- 
low  ASC  intervention to override  the driver's pedal position. 
NO TE - 
The MDIC unit  is non-adjustable and must be replaced as 
a complete unit  if found  to be  faulty. 
if  replacing  the 
MDK unit, the adaptation  values stored  in 
the  ECM  must be clearedand  the new  unit initialized using 
BMW  special  service  tools. 
CAUTION- 
If the  adaptation  process is not completed correct& the  en- 
gine wiii

MS 43.0 throttle valve assembly,  replacing 
The electronic throttle valve assembly forthe MS43.0 system 
is referred to  as 
EDK (electronic throttle valve). There  is no 
mechanical (cable)  link between  the accelerator pedal and 
the throttle plate. 
< The accelerator pedal module (PWG) at  the pedal  assembly 
communicates  the pedal position directly to the  ECM. The 
module provides two  variable voltage signals (via  two Hail 
sensors)  to the  ECM for  pedal position  and rate  of movement. 
NOTE- 
The  EDK  unit is non-adjustable and  must  be replaced  as a 
complete  unit if found  to be  faulty 
If  replacing the 
EDK unit,  the adaptation  values stored in 
the 
ECM must  be cleared  and the new  unit initialized  using 
BMW special service  tools.

Throttle cable, adjusting 
(MS 42.0) 
The throttle assembly  on MS 42.0 cars uses a throttle cable. 
The  cable  should be  adjusted any  time it is  disconnected or 
replaced.  This procedure  requires the factory  scan tool or an 
equivalent  to read  and adjust throttle angle.  It is  recommend- 
ed  the procedure  be done  by an  authorized 
BMW dealer ser- 
vice  department 
Basic  adjustment: 
Ensure that at  idle (accelerator  pedal in rest position) throt- 
tle  cable  has detectable play  at throttle  lever attaching 
point.  Play must not exceed  maximum allowable. 
Adjust  by  turning knurled  adjuster 
(arrow) on end  of throt- 
tle  cable  sheath  at throttle  housing. 
NOTE- 
Faulty  throttle  adjustment  values must be reset  using  the 
BMW  service tester 
DISplus, MoDiC, GTI or equivalent.

ldle speed control  valve, 
checking and replacing 
3 mm (0.125 in) 
The Idle speed control  valve regulates Idle speed by red~rect- 
ing air around  the throttle valve.  The ldle speed  control valve 
is  mounted 
d~rectly above  the throttle housing. Accessing  the 
valve  is best accomplished by 
flrst removing  the air fllter 
housing  and associated ducting. 
Thevalve is supplied  with batteryvoltage  from the ECM relay. 
The  idle speed control  valve incorporates a two-coil rotary ac- 
tuator.  The ground  sides of each  coil are pulsed  simulta- 
neously  by the  ECM.  The duty cycle  of each circuit  is varied  to 
achieve the  required idle speed. 
A faulty  idle speed  control valve sets a fault  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. 
- If idle speed  valve is not buzzing, or  if idle  decreases when 
AIC is turned  on, stop engine and disconnect harness  con- 
nector  from idle speed  valve.

Evaporative emissions control, 
(MS 42.0, MS 43.0) 
E39  models  with MS 42.0 or MS 43.0 engine  are equipped 
with a  fuel system evaporative pressure leak diagnosis  sys- 
tem.  The main  component  of this system is  the leak diagnosis 
pump (LDP or DM-TL).  The function  of either system  is to 
pressurize  the fuel  tank  and the evaporative emission system 
for  the purpose  of detecting leaks.

Engine control module (ECM), 
removing and installing 
The ECM  uses stored  functions and processing  programs to 
process  the input signals from the sensors.  These input sig- 
nals are  used to calculate the  control (output)  signals to the 
actuators 
(e.g., ignition  coils, injectors). 
NOTE- 
Consult  an authorized  BMW dealer before replacing  the 
ECM. 
- Disconnect negative (-) battery cable.  Wait approximately 
one minute. 
CAUTION- 
Prior to disconnecting  the batteg read the battery discon- 
nection cautions 
in 001 General  Warnings  and Cautions. 
4 Access  engine control  module (ECM): 
Release 
interlor ventilation filter cover latch (A) and  re- 
move  cover. 
Release plastic  loclting  tab 
(B). 
Rotate air duct  inward  (arrow) to unloclt from bulk head 
and  remove duct. 
Release spring  lock 
(C) to  remove lower filter  housing. 
Slide 
f~lter hous~ng away  from inner  fender  to remove. 
- Remove  electrical  box (E-box) cover fasteners and  remove 
cover. 
- If  testing  ECM or connected components,  use breakout box 
to  allow tests  to  be made with connector  attached to  ECM. 
This  prevents damage to small terminals  in connector. 
- - As  an alternative,  harness connector  housing  can be sepa- 
rated  so that electrical checks  can be made from 
back of con- 
nector. 
4 If replacing  ECM, disconnect control module harness  con- 
nector  (arrow)  by releasing fastener  and pivoting connector 
up  and  off ECM.

DISplus, MoDiC, GTl or equivalent: 
* Code  replacement  ECM with application  information (i.e 
engine code, transmission  type, etc.). 
Align  ECM to EWS  (electronic  immobilizer).

ECM  pin assignments are given  in Table  c. For engine  man- 
agement system schematics,  see 
ELE Electrical Wiring Di- 
agrams. 
/ CAUTIOW I 
Al~ays wait  at least one mfnule after turning  off the ignition 
before 
remov;ng [he connecror  irom rhe ECM. If the con- 
nector  is removed  before this time,  residual power 
in the 
system relay  may damage  the 
ECM. 
Always connect  or disconnect  the control  module con- 
nector  and meter probes  with the ignition  off. 
When making checks  at the ECM  itself, a 
breakout box 
should  be used  to allow  tests to be  made  with the connector 
attached  to the  ECM.  This also prevents damage  to the small 
terminals  in the  connector. As  an alternative, the  harness 
connector housing  can be separated so  that electrical checks 
can be made  from the back  of the  connector.
