5 Series E39 540i (M62) SAL
Crank engine at front central bolt so that a full pulse tooth (1) can
be seen through opening in removed pulse generator. Make sure
that the pulse tooth (1) is exactly centered in the hole.
Use special tool 00 2 407 or 00 2 550 to determine depth to
flywheel pulse gears.
Note depth.
Measure depth (A) of pulse generator.
Subtract depth (A) of pulse generator from depth of flywheel. This
result is the gap dimension.
Set a gap of 0.55
±
0.2 mm with the shims.
The gap of 0.55 mm should be achieved as closely as possible
so as to:
1. Enable exact misfiring recognition.
2. Prevent pulse sensor from contacting pulse teeth.
Refer to BMW Parts Service for shims.
Installation:
Interrogate fault memory of control unit on Digital Engine
Electronics (DME), check fault messages in memory, rectify
faults and cancel fault memory.
