REPLACING/CHECKING SPEED AND REFERENCE MARK SENSORS





- Unscrew shield.





- Unscrew screws of speed and reference mark sensors (D and B) and pull out sensors.

Installation Note:
- Mark new reference mark sensor (B) with a piece of tape.

Testing:





- Disconnect plug.
- Connect BMW service test unit to operating instructions (M06/22/23).
- Use universal test leads.
B = Reference mark sensor
D = Speed sensor





- Measure resistance of sensor coil (M 06) on + and - of plug.





- Connect oscilloscope (M 22/23) on + and - connections of speed sensor.
- Turn engine with the starter.
- Signal shown in the figure should be displayed.
- Only the shape is important when evaluating the signal - not the amplitude height.





- Check reference mark sensor in same manner.
- If oscillograph deviates, remove sensor and check for dirt (grease. burrs, dust), cleaning if necessary.
- Check reference mark, replacing pin for flywheel if necessary.
