Characteristic curve and setpoint values
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The pressure converter is activated by a pulse-width-modulated signal. The duty cycle is between 15 and 65 % (depending on engine operation). The supply vacuum is 700 mbar. Depending on the duty cycle, the vacuum can be continuously adjusted.
Characteristic curve valid for 950 mbar
