Test Group 1BMXV04.9S62

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2001 BMW Z8, 2001 BMW X5, 2001 BMW M5, 2001 BMW 750iL, and 2001 BMW 740iL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

General Description -  At cold start, secondary air pump and valve are switched on for their normal operating function. Secondary air delivered into exhaust gas is causing a lean mixture indicated by output voltage of oxygen sensor. Anytime oxygen sensor indicates a rich mixture (voltage greater than a fixed limit) within a predetermined time range and calculation of relative secondary air mass is less than a defined threshold, secondary air system is faulty. A correction procedure follows immediately after secondary air system is switched off. Air/fuel influence is determined by deviation of lambda controller. If influence is less than a fixed threshold, a fault will be detected. If influence is greater than a fixed threshold, results of diagnosis will be rejected as long as a lean mixture (voltage less than a fixed limit) is indicated from oxygen sensor within a predetermined time range and correction of air/fuel influence (after secondary air pump shuts-off) is less than a fixed threshold. A fault will also be detected. See Fig 1.
