M54 OEM Sensors Usage

---

• Pre CAT Lambda sensors are not used
• Post CAT Lambda sensors are not used

• MAF is monitored and can be used
• Coolant temperature - used as OEM
• Air temp sensor - used as OEM
• TPS sensors - used as OEM
• Pedal position sensors - used as OEM
• Camshaft sensors - used as OEM
• Engine oil temp - used as OEM
• Clutch pedal switch - used as OEM
• Radiator output temp - used as OEM
• Brake pedal - used as OEM
• Vehicle Speed Sensor Rear Right - Can be used for vehicle speed but canbus also has all 4 wheel speeds
• AC signals from vehicle - used as OEM
• Knock sensors - used as OEM

M54 OEM Actuator Usage

---

• Ignition coil wiring - Ignition driver allows jumper change to logic signals
• Tachometer signal
• Fuel pump relay
• Idle control valve
• Vanos control both camshafts
• Electric thermostat
• Drive by wire
• AC Compressor relay
• DISA Valve
• Main relay
• Secondary air valve
• Secondary air pump relay

CAN BUS Compatibility

---

The E46/E39/E38 the M54 originally came in communicated with the rest of the vehicle via CAN BUS. BCS LPC8 supports this CANBUS

16/12/2022 -
• E36/7 - compatible with BMWs of similar vintage
• E46 - compatible with BMWs of similar vintage
• E39 - compatible with BMWs of similar vintage
• E38 - compatible with BMWs of similar vintage
• E85 - compatible with BMWs of similar vintage

Additionally custom CANBUS is possible on the powertrain bus or the spare secondary CANBUS

Options at ordering

---

Not everyone is going to need or want the same thing with their ECU conversion.

Ignition outputs
• Stock coils - jumpers in the ignition driver set to IGBT
• Smart coils - jumper change in the ignition driver to TTL and customer will install their choice of ignition coils using stock BMW coil wiring


ECU Model
• LPC8 GEN2 DUAL WIDEBAND: 7 Analog inputs are spare, 1 Digital input is spare, 3 Low side outputs are spare, CAN2 is spare, 1 Relay output is spare.

Injectors
This is a selectable option so that the webstore doesn´t incorrectly calculate shipping cost when customer wants bigger injectors
