CAUTION-
"
The

to

systems
only
.
"
The
Siemens
MS
41
.1
system
uses
resistive-type
oxygen
sensors
.
This
sensor
uses
a
5-volt
refer-
ence
signal
input
and
the
output
to
the
ECM
var-
ees
from
1-5
volts,
in
stepped
increments
based
on
oxygen
content
in
the
exhaust
.
NOTE-
"
On
pre-08D
11(1992-1995)
cars,
there
is
one
oxygen
sensor
mounted
upstream
of
the
catalytic
convert-
er(s)
in
the
exhaust
pipe
.
See
Fig
.

.
"
On
OBD
11
cars
(1996-1998)
cars,
there
is
one
oxygen
sensor
before
andone
after
each
catalytic
converter
.
"
OnM52
and
S52US
engines,
the
front
pairof
oxygen
sensors
are
installed
in
the
exhaust
manifolds
.
The
oxygen
sensor
providesan
input
voltage
signal
(0-1
VDC)
to
the
ECM
based
on
the
oxygen
content
in
the
exhaust
gas
.
TO
generate
voltage,
the
sensor
temperature
must
exceed
575°F
(300°C)
.
Therefore
it
ís
electrically
heated
.
NOTE-
"
The
test
given
below
is
not
a
conclusive
test
of
oxygen
sensor
efficiency
and
does
not
test
how
quickly
the
oxygensensor
can
react
to
changing
conditions
.
"
Pin
numbers
and
wirecolors
can
vary
.
Always
check
the
wiring
diagrams
to

problems
.
Have
a

available
in
case
of

.
"
When
working
onanopen
fuel
system,
wear
suit-
able
hand
protection
.
Prolonged
contact
with
fuel
can
cause
illnesses
and
skin
disorders
.
To
prevent
fuel
from
spraying
on
a
hot
engine,
system
fuel
pressure
should
be
relieved
before
disconnecting
fuel
lines
.
One
method
is
to
tightly
wrap
a
shop
towel
around
a
fuelline
fit-
ting
and
loosenor
disconnect
the
fitting
.
Cleanliness
is
essential
when
working
with

.
Thoroughly
clean
theunionsbefore

.
NOTE-
"
OnM44
engines,
a
Schrmder
valve
is
integrated
in
the
fuel
rail
.
Compressed
air
pressure
canbe
applied
at
the
valve
to
force
the
fuel
in
the
system
back
into
the
tank
.

to
measure

.
If
the

tools
arenot
available,
a
length
of

fine
and
a
T-fitting
canbe
installed
to

and
connected
to
a
fuel

.
On
some
vehicles,
thisis
not
possible
without
cutting
finto
a

lino
.
In
these
lnstances,
it
Is
recom-
mended
that
fuel
pressure
be
checked
at
theoutput
sidoof

FUELDELIVERY
TESTS
On

Evaporative

System
The
fuel

evaporative
control
system
is
used
to
vent
the
fuel
tank
to
a
charcoal
canister,
which
is
then
purgedby
en-
gine
vacuum
during
normal
engine
operatíon
.
This
controls
emission
of
raw

(fuel)
to

atmosphere
.
See

.
A
fuel
expansion
tank,
located
under
the
right
rear
fender,
traps
overflow
fuel
and
incorporates
extra
fuel
tank
plumbing
.
Startingwith
1996
models,
OBD
II
standards
require
that
the
fuel
tank
evaporative
control
system
be
monitored
for
leaks
.
This
is
accomplished
usingthe
fuel
tankpressuresen-
sor,
the
ventshut
off
valve,
and
the
evaporative
purge
valve
.
NOTE-
On
most
early
cars(1992-1995),
the
charcoal
canister
is
in
the
engine
compartment
.
On
latercars,
the
char-
coal
canister
is
under
the
spare
tire
in
the
luggage
com-
partment
.

Each

When

WARNING
-
When

to
the
BMW
