MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR HFM
The Siemens mass air flow sensor is functionally the same as in the past. The designation
2 Type B simply indicates that it is smaller in design. The mass air meter has a diameter of
85 mm.

MS 43 CARRY OVER FUNCTIONS
OUTPUT FUNCTIONS -VANOS CONTROL
With the double VANOS system, the valve timing is changed on both the intake and the
exhaust camshafts.
Double VANOS provides the following benefits:
• Torque increase in the low to mid (1500 - 2000 RPM) range without power loss in the
upper RPM range.
• Less incomplete combustion when idling due to less camshaft overlap (also improves
idle speed characteristics).
• Internal exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) in the part load range (reduces NOx and post-
combustion of residual gasses in the exhaust)
• Rapid catalyst warm up and lower “raw” emissions after cold start.
• Reduction in fuel consumption
Double VANOS consists of the following parts:
• Intake and exhaust camshafts with helical gear insert
• Sprockets with adjustable gears
• VANOS actuators for each camshaft
• 2 three-way solenoid switching valves
• 2 impulse wheels for detecting camshaft position
• 2 camshaft position sensors (Hall effect)
The “initial” timing is set by gear positioning (refer to the Repair Instructions for details) and
the chain tensioner. As with the previous VANOS, the hydraulically controlled actuators
move the helical geared cups to regulate camshaft timing. The angled teeth of the helical
gears cause the pushing
movement of the helical cup to be converted into a rotational
movement. This rotational movement is added to the turning of the camshafts and cause
the camshafts to “advance” or “retard”. The adjustment rate is dependent oil temperature,
oil pressure, and engine RPM.

M54engMS43/ST036/6/20000
NOTE: With extremely hot oil temperatures Vanos is deactivated (Power loss). If the oil is
too thick (wrong viscosity) a fault could be set.
When the engine is started, the camshafts are in the “failsafe” position (deactivated). The
intake camshaft is in the RETARDED position - held by oil pressure from the sprung open
solenoid. The exhaust camshaft is in the ADVANCED position - held by a preload spring in
the actuator and oil pressure from the sprung open solenoid.
After 50 RPM (2-5 seconds) from engine start, the ECM is monitoring the exact camshaft
position.
The ECM positions the camshafts based on engine RPM and the throttle position signal.
From that point the camshaft timing will be varied based on intake air and coolant temper-
atures.
The double VANOS system is “fully variable”. When the ECM detects the camshafts are in
the optimum positions, the solenoids are modulated (approximately 100-220 Hz) maintain-
ing oil pressure on both sides of the actuators to hold the camshaft timing.
CAUTION:
The VANOS MUST
be removed and installed exactly as described in the Repair
Instructions!
NOTE: If the VANOS camshaft system goes to the failsafe mode (deactivated) there will be
a noticeable loss of power. This will be like driving with retarded ignition or starting from a
stop in third gear.

SECONDARY AIR INJECTION
This ECM controlled function remains unchanged from
the previous Siemens MS system, however there is a
hardware change.
The Air Injection Inlet Valve mounts directly to the cylin-
der head, with a passageway machined through the
head. This eliminates the external Air Injection manifold
distribution pipes to the exhaust manifolds.
SECONDARY AIR INJECTION MONITORING
In order to reduce HC and CO emissions while the engine is warming up, BMW imple-
mented the use of a Secondary Air Injection System in. Immediately following a cold engine
start (-10 - 40°C) fresh air/oxygen is injected directly into the exhaust manifold. By inject-
ing oxygen into the exhaust manifold:
• The warm up time of the catalyst is reduced
• Oxidation of the hydrocarbons is accelerated
The activation period of the air pump can vary depending on engine type and operating
conditions.
Conditions for Secondary Air Pump Activation:
*NOTE: Below -10°C the air injection pump is activated only as a preventive measure to
blow out any accumulated water vapor that could freeze in the system.

The Secondary Air Injection System is monitored via the use of the pre-catalyst oxygen sen-
sor(s). Once the air pump is active and is air injected into the system the signal at the oxy-
gen sensor will reflect a lean condition. If the oxygen sensor signal does not change with-
in a predefined time a fault will be set and identify the faulty bank(s). If after completing the
next cold start and a fault is again present the "Service Engine Soon" light will be illuminat-
ed.
Example: Secondary Air Injection Monitoring (M54-Siemens System)
During a cold start condition air is immediately injected into the exhaust manifold and since
the oxygen sensors are in open loop at this time the voltage at the pre catalyst sensor will
reflect a lean condition) and will remain at this level while the air pump is in operation. Once
the pump is deactivated the voltage will change to a rich condition until the system goes
into closed loop operation.
M54 System Operation:
The pump draws air through its own air filter and delivers it to both exhaust manifolds
through a non-return (shutoff valve). The non-return valve is used to:
1. Control air injection into the exhaust manifold - A vacuum controlled valve will open the
passageway for air to be injected once a vacuum is applied.
2. Prevent possible backfires from traveling up the pipes and damaging the air pump when
no vacuum is applied.
The control module activates the vacuum vent valve whenever the air pump is energized.
Once the vacuum vent valve is energized a vacuum is applied to the non-return valve which
allows air to be injected into the exhaust manifold. A vacuum is retained in the lines, by the
use of a check valve, in order to allow the non-return valve to be immediately activated on
cold engine start up. When the vacuum/vent valve is not energized, the vacuum to the
non-return valve is removed and is vented to atmosphere.

CRUISE CONTROL
Cruise control is integrated into the ECM because of the EDK operation.
Cruise control functions are activated directly by the multifunction steering wheel to the
ECM. The individual buttons are digitally encoded in the MFL switch and is input to the ECM
over a serial data wire.
The ECM controls vehicle speed by activation of the Electronic Throttle Valve (EDK)
The clutch switch disengages cruise control to prevent over-rev during gear changes.
The brake light switch and the brake light test switch are input to the ECM to disengage
cruise control as well as fault recognition during engine operation of the EDK.
Road speed is input to the ECM for cruise control as well as DSC regulation. The vehicle
speed signal for normal engine operation is supplied from the DSC module (right rear wheel
speed sensor). The road speed signal for cruise control is supplied from the DSC module.
This is an average taken from both front wheel speed sensors, supplied via the CAN bus.
