SERVICE INFORMATION

NOTE: This Service Information bulletin supersedes SI B13 04 12 dated October 2012.
PERFORM THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THIS SERVICE INFORMATION ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES BEFORE CUSTOMER DELIVERY OR THE NEXT TIME THEY ARE IN THE SHOP FOR MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS.

SUBJECT

Service Action: Program Control Units (OBD)

SITUATION

A software update is available for the DDE (Digital Diesel Electronics) for monitoring Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR).

AFFECTED VEHICLES

This Service Action involves E70 and E90 vehicles with the M57Y engine which were produced from 11/2009 to 07/2012.

In order to determine whether a specific vehicle has had this Service Action completed or is affected by this Service Action, first check the B-pillar label for code number 626 . If code number 626 has been punched out, the campaign has already been performed. If code number 626 has not been punched out, it will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System) or the Key Reader. Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action.

PROCEDURE

Program the vehicle, including a complete vehicle coding, using ISTA/P 2.47.1 or a more recent version.

Note that ISTA/P will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the latest software.

For information on programming and coding with ISTA/P, refer to Centernet / Aftersales Portal / Service / Workshop Technology / Vehicle Programming.

LABEL INSTRUCTIONS

This Service Action has been assigned code number 626 . After the vehicle has been checked and/or corrected, obtain a label (SD 92-417) and:

Emboss your BMW center warranty number in the middle of the label (1);
Punch out code number 626 (2), printed on the label; and
Affix the label to the B-pillar as shown.

If the vehicle already has a label from a previous Service Action/Recall Campaign, affix the new label next to the old one. Do not affix one label on top of another one because a number from an underlying label could appear in the punched-out hole of the new label.

NOTE: Additional labels can be ordered online at BMW TIS.
