    Control unit faults or faults in the Valvetronic peripherals are detected by the Valvetronic control unit and are transmitted via the LoCAN to the DME control unit where they are stored for diagnostics. © BMW AG, Service Training...

    Greater fuel spray atomization leads to optimum fuel mixing and thereby reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. The fuel distributor blocks have been improved for better fuel distribution. This measure guarantees optimum engine smoothness even at low speeds. © BMW AG, Service Training...

    - The lower power input reduces the fuel pump's heat radiation. This reduces the amount of fuel being heated in the fuel tank - Integration of the crash-cut-out in the EKP regulation - Longer EKP service life - Omission of the EKP relay © BMW AG, Service Training...

  • Page 128 If the fuel quantity requirement from the DME and EKP rotation speed signal in the SBSR fails, the fuel pump will continue to operate with the greatest delivery rate when terminal 15 is activated. This guarantees the fuel supply even if the control signals fail. © BMW AG, Service Training...
