BMW 7 Series: Check BMW Diagnosis System For Excess Pressure And Vacuum (N63)

IMPORTANT: Excess pressure and vacuum lines are identified by the size of the connection fittings and color-coded red and blue and must not be mixed up with each other.

Build up pressure with Blue color.

Generate vacuum pressure with Red color.

Mixing up the functions will result in damage to the engine.

Necessary preliminary work

  • Release upper section of intake air filter.
  • Prepare BMW diagnosis system.
  • Start diagnostic program.
    1. Power train
    2. Engine electronics
    3. Air supply
    4. Charging pressure control Oder Perception

Lack of power

Note on ordering:

  • Workshop equipment.
  • Workshop planning.
  • Workshop equipment catalogue.
  • Measuring and test equipment.
  • No. 81 29 0 426 464

Pressure measurement

Prepare BMW diagnosis system on excess pressure diagnosis unit.

  1. Screw in pressure sensor.
  2. Overpressure connection (Blue).
  3. Connect stimuli cables (3) to positive and negative.
  4. Connect 12V battery cables (4) to vehicle battery positive and negative.

Check wastegate valve with vacuum

Wastegate valves must be opened without vacuum.

The wastegate valves must close if a vacuum pressure is applied at the wastegate sockets (see BMW diagnosis system).

Check shaft on turbine wheel for rotatability.
