LEAK DIAGNOSIS TEST PRECONDITIONS
The ECM only initiates a leak diagnosis test every second time the criteria are met. The cri-
teria is as follows:
• Engine OFF with ignition switched OFF.
• Engine Control Module still in active state or what is known as “follow up mode” (Main
Relay energized, control module and DME components online for extended period after
key off).
• Prior to Engine/Ignition switch OFF condition, vehicle must have been driven for a min-
imum of 20 minutes.
• Prior to minimum 20 minute drive, the vehicle must have been OFF for a minimum of 5
hours.
• Fuel Tank Capacity must be between 15 and 85%(safe approximation between 1/4 -
3/4 of a tank).
• Ambient Air Temperature between -7
OC & 35OC(20OF & 95OF )
• Altitude < 2500m(8,202 feet).
• Battery Voltage between 11.5 and 14.5 Volts
When these criteria are satisfied every second time, the ECM will start the Fuel System Leak
Diagnosis Test. The test will typically be carried out once a day i.e. once after driving to
work in the morning, when driving home in the evening, the criteria are once again met but
the test is not initiated. The following morning, the test will run again.

ELECTRIC FAN
The electric cooling fan is now controlled by the ECM. The ECM uses a remote power out-
put final stage (mounted on the fan housing)
The power output stage receives power from a 50 amp fuse (located in glove box above
the fuse bracket). The electric fan is controlled by a pulse width modulated signal from the
ECM.
The fan is activated based on the ECM calcula-
tion (sensing ratio) of:
• Coolant outlet temperature
• Calculated (by the ECM) catalyst temperature
• Vehicle speed
• Battery voltage
• Air Conditioning pressure (calculated by IHKA
and sent via the K-Bus to the ECM)
NOTE: If the ECM indicates a fault check the fan for freedom of movement
After the initial test has been performed, the fan is brought up to the specified operating
speed. At 10% (sensing ratio) the fan runs at 1/3 speed. At a sensing ratio of between 90-
95% the fan is running at maximum speed. Below 10% or above 95% the fan is stationary.
The sensing ratio is suppressed by a hysteresis function, this prevents speed fluctuation.
When the A/C is switched on, the electric fan is not immediately activated.
After the engine is switched off, the fan may continue to operate at varying speeds (based
on the ECM calculated catalyst temperature). This will cool the radiator down from a heat
surge (up to 10 minutes).

RZV IGNITION SYSTEM
The Siemens MS43.0 system uses a multiple spark ignition function. The purpose of mul-
tiple ignition is:
• Provide clean burning during engine start up and while idling (reducing emissions).
• This function helps to keep the spark plugs clean for longer service life (new BMW
longlife plugs).
Multiple ignition is active up to an engine speed of approximately 1350 RPM (varied with
engine temperature) and up to 20 degrees after TDC.
Multiple ignition is dependent on battery voltage. When the voltage is low, the primary cur-
rent is also lower and a longer period of time is required to build up the magnetic field in the
coil(s).
• Low battery voltage = less multiple ignitions
• High battery voltage = more multiple ignitions
The 240 ohm shunt resistor is still used on the MS43.0 system for detecting secondary igni-
tion faults and diagnostic purposes.
