Visit Preferences to set your user name Summary of change: '''Page created to cleanup specs''' Note that if ECU is manufactured to specs, but the specs is wrong, it will not work. Sectrig=HALL (cam), we can agree on that... However, even after several "we are sure emails", primary trigger=HALL is specified which we think is wrong. On single-Vanos M50 engines (also considering the more detailed info) cranksensor should be VR. '''Primary trigger''' * 3 pins: correct (but that can be either VR or HALL) * according to our information, crankshaft=VR , connected as primary trigger (traditionally "EC36/27" in VEMS, mot88/pin16 on the M50 Vanos type mainboard) ** '''please confirm crankshaft=VR'''. ** motronic88 connector pins: resistance between 16 and 43 (or in engine bay with sensor connector disconnected) ** Preferrably by '''DVM measurement''': if you find 2 pins that measures same resistance in both directions (usually between 300 and 1400 Ohm) that is VR. Otherwise HALL. ---- '''Probably wrong info below, saying crankshaft=HALL (info mounting in emails before this page was created)''' M50B25TU 141 kW (189 hp) @ 5900 245 N·m (181 lb·ft) @ 4200 6500 84 mm (3.3 in) 75 mm (3.0 in) 10.5 1993 M50B256S2 Single Vanos '''3 PIN Hallsensor Crankshaft (editors note: 3 pin is correct, but "HALL" must be wrong)''' we are sure - Motorcode M50 S256S2, with single Vanos - Hallsensor Crankshaft with 3 pins (editors note: 3 pin is correct, but "HALL" must be wrong) The partsnumber of the original ECU is Bosch 0 261 200 413 Identifikationnumber of the BMW is WBACB31060FD7.... (last 4 digits removed) ---- M50 single vanos is 100% VR crank, Hall cam. BMW ETM shows the very clear VR and HALL symbols for the sensors. ---- According to Bentley manual and personal experience, the crank sensor BMW M50BXX engines is VR. * For Bosch DME M1.7 Crank:VR, Cam:VR * For Bosch DME M3.1 Crank:VR, Cam:VR * For Bosch DME M3.3.1 Crank:VR, Cam:HALL * For Bosch DME M5.2 Crank:VR, Cam:HALL The crank sensor BMW M52BXX engines is HALL. * For Siemens MS 41.1 Crank:HALL, CAM: sort of VR - This latest Siemens CAM sensor however is far from standard, cannot be used with aftermarket ECUs Optional: Add document to category: Wiki formatting: * is Bullet list ** Bullet list subentry ...
