NOTE:
- In order to avoid incorrect programming procedures and fault messages, it is essential to always use the most current version when working with the ISTA/P programming system.
- Battery voltage must not drop below 13.0 V
during programming. Connect battery charger prior to programming Use only BMW-recommended battery chargers*
*Sourcing reference BMW Workshop Equipment Catalogue
IMPORTANT:
Prior to programming/encoding hybrid and electric vehicles disconnect the high-voltage system!
programming routine via ISTA/P:
- Connect the battery charger to the vehicle.
- Connect the programming system with the vehicle.
- Determine the action plan.
- Accept action plan with the control units to be programmed/encoded and enabled, if necessary or work through.
- Observe the reworking list!
- If applicable, connect the workshop system to the vehicle depending on the rework list, run the brief test and delete the fault memory.NOTE: A switch to the workshop system may not necessarily be required with the integration of the service functions and the "Delete fault memory" function in ISTA/P. Check the rework list accordingly!
- Compliance with the information about programming in workshop systems and the corresponding notes in the user documentation is required.
