M54 ENGINE
MECHANICAL CHANGES
NON RETURN FUEL RAIL SYSTEM
The M54 engine with MS 43.0 control uses the non return fuel rail system introduced on
the M62 TU engine. The system meets running loss compliance without the use of the 3/2-
way solenoid valve currently used on the M52 TU engine.
The regulated fuel supply is controlled by
the fuel pressure regulator integrated in
the fuel filter. The fuel return line is also
located on the filter.
The M54 engine uses an Electronic Controlled
Throttle Valve (EDK) for intake air control. The
idle control valve and turbulence function of the
intake manifold carries over from the M52 TU
engine.

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.

TEST RESULTS
The time duration varies between 45 & 270 seconds depending on the resulting leak diag-
nosis test results (developed tank pressure “amperage” / within a specific time period).
However the chart below depicts the logic used to determine fuel system leaks.

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.
