Objectives After completing this module you should be able to: Describe the controls possible from the On-Board Monitor. Know how to operate the various features controlled from the On-Board Monitor. 2 On-Board Monitor and Navigation Systems ON-BOARD MONITOR SYSTEM The On-board Monitor System was introduced as optional equipment on the 1997 MY E38s and E39s. It was made standard on the E38 750iL for 1999 and standard for all E38s in 2000. [. . . ] Though they can be done individually with positive results, it is recommended to complete all five steps to achieve consistent positive results. NOTE: If a new navigation computer is being calibrated for the first time, the individual buttons will not be selectable. The system will automatically go into a fixed sequence calibration requiring all steps be performed. A full dealer calibration On-Board Monitor and Navigation Systems 39 1. SETTING OF CAR PARAMETERS There are two settings parameters screen: in the The vehicles wheel base which will be an E38 long/short wheel base or an E39. The vehicles track which is as follows for the different vehicles: E38 - long = 1549 E38 - short = 1549 E39 = 1512 Changing these settings is not required unless a new Navigation computer is installed in the vehicle. If a new nav computer is being calibrated for the first time, enter the vehicle type. NOTE: These settings should be checked as part of the troubleshooting procedures to verify that they are correct. If the displayed setting does not match the figures above, momentarily select another vehicle type and switch back to the correct vehicle. The track width value will change to the displayed values as shown above. AFTERMARKET WHEELS OR SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS: If the vehicle is equipped with aftermarket wheels or has modified suspension components, the track width may need to be manually adjusted. With the vehicle on the ground (suspension loaded), measure the distance between the two front rims (inner rim tire bead lips) in millimeters and note the measurement. Measure the thickness of one front rim (inside lip to outside lip) using calipers and note the measurement. Then turn the knob one click to the LEFT to access the track measurement. Press knob when finished. 40 On-Board Monitor and Navigation Systems 2. SENSOR TEST The Sensor Test performs a functional check of the wheel speed sensors and magnetic field sensor inputs to the navigation computer. The DIS will also call for this test to be carried out as part of the troubleshooting procedures. The test requires driving the vehicle in a tight circle at a speed of 6 MPH or less. If there are no faults with the inputs, the system will display Calibration Successful. At this point the calibration procedures can be continued or the vehicle can be returned to the workshop to continue the diagnostic procedures. On-Board Monitor and Navigation Systems 41 3. WHEEL SENSOR This procedure is necessary when the navigation computer or wheel/tires have been changed. The procedure calibrates the wheel circumference/speed sensor input to the navigation computer so that the distance traveled input is correct. The tire inflation pressure must be checked and correctly set prior to carrying out this test.
