SIEMENS ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Models: E53 X5
SOP: 3 liter - 4/00
Objectives of the Module:
At the end of this section of the handout you will be able to:
• Identify the changes that have occurred to the MS 43 system compared to the MS 42
• Describe the operation of the new inputs
• Describe the operation of the new outputs
• Discuss which new components/subsystems relate directly to ULEV compliancy
This new generation Siemens system is designated as
MS 43.0.
Siemens MS 43.0 is a newly developed engine management system to meet the needs of
Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) compliancy and continuing with present systems is also
OBD II compliant. This system also includes control of the Motor-driven Throttle Valve
(EDK).
The ECM uses a pc-board dual-processor control unit in the SKE housing configuration.
The MS 43.0 ECM is flash programmable as seen with previous systems.
ECM hardware includes:
Modular plug connectors featuring 5 connectors in the SKE housing with 134 pins.
• Connector 1 = Supply voltages and grounds
• Connector 2 = Peripheral signals (oxygen
sensors, CAN, etc.)
• Connector 3 = Engine signals
• Connector 4 = Vehicle signals
• Connector 5 = Ignition signals
Special features:
• Flash EPROM which is adaptable to several M52 LEV engines and has the capability to
be programmed up to 13 times
• Once a control unit is installed and coded to a vehicle it cannot be swapped with anoth-
er vehicle for diagnosing or replacement (because of EWS 3.3).

MS 43 NEW FUNCTIONS
ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SYSTEM - EML
The M54 engine with MS 43 engine control uses an electronic throttle control system
adopted from the ME 7.2 system on the M62 engine. The system incorporates an electric
throttle valve (EDK) and pedal position sensor (PWG) for engine power control.
The MS 43 control module monitors the PWG input and activates the EDK motor based on
the programmed maps for throttle control. The MS 43 module self checks the activation of
the EDK via feedback potentiometers motor on the EDK motor.
Additional functions of the EML system include:
• Cruise control function
• DSC throttle interventions
• Maximum engine and road speed control

MS 43 NEW FUNCTIONS
ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR
The accelerator pedal sensor is similar to the PWG used on the ME 7.2 system. It is inte-
grated into the accelerator pedal housing. Two hall sensors are used to provide the driver’s
input request for power.
The hall sensors receive power (5 volts) and ground from the MS 43 control module and
produce linear voltage signals as the pedal is pressed from LL to VL.
PWG SENSOR 1 = 0.5 to 4.5 V
PWG SENSOR 2 = 0.5 to 2.0 V
The MS 43 control module uses the
signal from sensor 1 as the driver’s
request and the signal from sensor 2
as plausibility checking.

MS 43 NEW FUNCTIONS
ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR
PWG SIGNAL MONITORING & PWG FAILSAFE OPERATION:
• As a redundant safety feature the PWG provides two separate signals from two integral
angle hall sensors (HS #1 and HS #2) representing the driver’s request for throttle acti-
vation.
• If the monitored PWG signals are not plausible, MS 43.0 will only use the lower of the
two signals as the driver’s pedal request input providing failsafe operation. Throttle
response will be slower and maximum throttle position will be reduced.
• When in PWG failsafe operation, MS 43.0 sets the EDK throttle plate and injection time
to idle (LL) whenever the brake pedal is depressed.
• When the system is in PWG failsafe operation, the instrument cluster matrix display will
post “Engine Emergency Program” and PWG specific fault(s) will be stored in memory.

INPUT FUNCTIONS
BOSCH OXYGEN SENSORS
The MS43.0 system uses Bosch LSH 25 oxygen sensors that function basically the same
as previously used (in Bosch systems). The voltage range is between 0 - 800 mV.
The location remains the same with the pre-cat sensors are mounted on top of the exhaust
manifolds. The catalysts are now integral with the exhaust manifolds (further detailed in the
M52 TU engine section).

OXYGEN SENSOR SIGNAL INFLUENCE ON INJECTOR “OPEN” TIME
The ECM monitors the:
• Amplitude of the signal (highest voltage or range sensor is producing)
• Switching time of the signal (how fast from lean to rich)
• Frequency of complete cycles (how many within a period of time)
These characteristics provide info to the ECM that reflect the overall condition of the sen-
sor.
POST CATALYTIC CONVERTER SENSOR SIGNAL
The post catalyst O2 sensors monitor the efficiency of the catalyst as a requirement of OBD
II. This signal also provides feedback of the pre-catalyst sensors efficiency and can cause
the ECM to “trim” the ms injection time to correct for slight deviations.
• If the catalyst is operating efficiently, most of the remaining oxygen in the exhaust gas
is burned (lack of O2 - “constant lean signal”).
The sensor signal fluctuates slightly in the higher end of the voltage scale.
• If the post sensor shows excessive fluctuations
(which echo the scope pattern of the pre
sensor), this indicates that the catalytic converter is not functioning correctly and cannot
consume the O2 (fault set).
• If the post sensor fluctuations move out of the normal voltage “window”, this indicates
that the pre sensor is not performing properly due toslight
deterioration. These systems
can also “trim” the ms injection time to compensate for this.
The constantly changing oxygen sensor input to the ECM is needed to correct the ms
injection time to ensure that the ideal air/fuel ratio is maintained.

CAMSHAFT SENSOR
-INTAKE AND EXHAUST CAMSHAFTS
The "static" Hall sensors are used so that the camshaft positions are recognized once igni-
tion is “on” - even before the engine is started.
The function of the intake cam sensor:
• Cylinder bank detection for preliminary injection
• Synchronization
• Engine speed sensor (if crankshaft speed sensor fails)
• Position control of the intake cam (VANOS)
The exhaust cam sensor is used for position control of the exhaust cam (VANOS)
If these sensors fail there are no substitute values, the system will operate in the failsafe
mode with no VANOS adjustment. The engine will still operate, but torque reduction will be
noticeable.
NOTE: Use caution on repairs as not to bend the impulse wheels

CRANKSHAFT SENSOR
The crankshaft sensor is a dynamic Hall-effect sensor (mounted through the engine block),
the signal is sent the moment the crankshaft begins to rotate.
The pulse wheel is mounted directly to the crankshaft as seen on previous models.

M54engMS43/ST036/6/20000
EMISSIONS RELEVANT:
During an interval of 1000 crankshaft revolutions
the misfire events of all cylinders are
added and if the sum is greater than a predetermined value a fault will be set identifying the
particular cylinder(s). The “Service Engine Soon” light will be illuminated during and after
the second cycle if the fault is again present.
CATALYST DAMAGING:
During an interval of 200 crankshaft revolutions
the misfire events of all cylinders are added
and if the sum is greater than a predetermined value a fault will be set identifying the par-
ticular cylinders(s). The “Service Engine Soon” lamp:
• On vehicles with a Siemens Control Module (M54 engines) - the lamp will immediately go
to a steady illumination since fuel to the injector(s) is removed. Fuel cut-off to the cylin-
der will resume after several (
>>7) periods of decel if crankshaft sensor adaptation is suc-
cessfully completed or the engine is shut-off and restarted.
In each case the number of misfire events permitted is dependent on engine speed, load
and temperature map.
The process of misfire detection continues well after the diagnostic drive cycle requirements
have been completed. Misfire detection is an on-going monitoring process
that is only dis-
continued under certain conditions.
Misfire detection is only disabled under the following conditions:
