Fuel injectors, checking and replacing
The fuel iniectors are switched on and off (oaened and
closed)
by'the ECM. The injectors are connkcted to acom-
mon power source. A ground signal from the ECM is used to
open and close the injectors.
CA U JIOG
Use only a digital multimeter or an LED injector tester when
testing injectors or wiring. Use of an analog
VOM or incan-
descent test light may damaqe the engine controlmodule.
4 Remove fuel rail cover. See 110 Engine Removal and in-
stallation.
With the engine running, place the point of a long screwdriver
on each injector and check for a cliclting vibration.
If no vibra-
tion is found do the voltage

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).

Fuel Injection
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.

/Central Locking and Anti-Theft
This section covers repair information for door, trunk and car-
go compartment locks, central locking, electronic
immob~liza-
tion (EWS) and anti-theft alarm (DWA).
€39 cars are equipped with sophisticated self-diagnostic elec-
trical systems. When experiencing malfunctions relating to
central locking. EWS or anti-theft systems, start the diagnosis
process using the
BMW service tester DIS, GT 1, MoDiC or
equivalent scan tool. An advanced diagnostic scan tool can
usually pinpoint electrical faults quickly and safely.
Additional electrical information can be found in:
610 Electrical Component Locations
ELE Electrical Wiring Diagrams
Central locking in E39 vehicles controls the door
locks, trunk
or tailgate lock and fuel filler flap lock. The control module for
the Central Body Electronics system (ZKE
Ill), lknown as the
General Module (GM
Ill), controls central locking.
ZKE
Ill manages the following central locking related func-
tions:
Central locking
* Keyless entry
Key memory
Power trunk release
Electric opening of tailgate
DWA alarm system
Diagnosis
General Module
4 The General Module (GM) (arrow) is responsible for the op-
eration of central body electronics. The GM is located behind
the glove compartment.
Based on input information, the GM uses internal transistors
to switch current flow (providing voltage or ground) through
circuits and actuators. Actuators are the final controlling de-
vices used by GM to operate or control various output func-
tions such as relays and motors.
The accompanying schematic, Central locking inputs and
outputs, illustrates the GM central locking system.
