M62TU Engine / ME7.2
The 4.4i X5 is equipped with the M62 TU B44 (4.4 liter) engine. Features of the M62 TU
engine include:
• Digital motor Electronics Control ME 7.2.
• Variable positioned intake camshaft VANOS system.
• “EML” Electronic Throttle Control System identified as EDK.
• Compact water cooled generator (F-alternator).
• Thermostat controlled transmission fluid/engine coolant heat exchanger system for
automatic transmission equipped vehicles.
• Non Return Fuel Rail (Running Loss Compliance).
• IHKA Auxillary Water Pump.

OUTPUT CONTROL FUNCTIONS
FUEL PUMP RELAY CONTROL
ME 7.2 controls the fuel pump relay as with previous systems with regard to engine speed
input for continual activation of the relay.
The ME 7.2 will switch off the fuel pump relay when an airbag is activated as an addition-
al safety function. The signal is passed from the MRS III control module to the ME 7.2 over
the CAN line
E BOX FAN CONTROL
The E Box fan is controlled by ME 7.2. The control module
contains an integral NTC temperature sensor for the pur-
pose of monitoring the E box temperature and activating the
fan.
When the temperature in the E-Box exceeds predetermined
values, ME 7.2 provides a switched ground for the E Box fan
to cool the E box located control modules.
With every engine start-up, ME 7.2 briefly activates the fan
ensuring continued fan motor operation for the service life of
the vehicle. This feature is intended to prevent fan motor
“lock up” from lack of use due to pitting or corrosion over
time.

DM-TL (DIAGNOSIS MODULE - TANK LEAKAGE)
INTRODUCTION
A new Fuel System Leak Diagnosis Pump is equipped on the X5. The pump will eventu-
ally replace the current vacuum LDP on all vehicles.
The pump is manufactured by Bosch to BMW specifications.
• Bosch ECMs identify the electrical function of the pump as DM-TL.

FUNCTION
The DC Motor LDP ensures accurate fuel system leak detection for leaks as small as
0.5mm (.020”). The pump contains an integral DC motor which is activated directly by the
engine control module. The ECM monitors the pump motor operating current as the mea-
surement for detecting leaks.
The pump also contains an ECM controlled change over valve that is energized closed dur-
ing a Leak Diagnosis test. The change over valve is open during all other periods of oper-
ation allowing the fuel system to “breath” through the inlet filter (similar to the full down
stroke of the current vacuum operated LDP).
DC MOTOR LDP INACTIVE -- NORMAL PURGE VALVE OPERATION
In it’s inactive state the pump motor and the change over valve of the DC Motor LDP are
not energized. When purge valve operation occurs filtered air enters the fuel system com-
pensating for engine vacuum drawing on the hydrocarbon vapors stored in the charcoal
canister.

PHASE 2 - LEAK DETECTION
The ECM energizes the Change Over Valve allowing the pressurized air to enter the fuel sys-
tem through the Charcoal Canister, The ECM monitors the current flow and compares it
with the stored reference measurement over a duration of time.
Once the test is concluded, the ECM stops the pump motor and immediately de-energizes
the change over valve. This allows the stored pressure to vent thorough the charcoal can-
ister trapping hydrocarbon vapor and venting air to atmosphere through the filter.
