AFFECTED VEHICLES

This Service Action involves R59 vehicles produced from February 2012 to April 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 52 . If code number 52 has been punched out, the campaign has already been performed. If code number 52 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

Refer to ISTA Repair Instructions 61 00 xxx "Program/code the control units."

Program the vehicle using ISTA/P 2.46.4 or later.

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 52 . After the vehicle has been checked and/or corrected, obtain a label (MD20-040) and:

Emboss your MINI dealer warranty number in the middle of the label (1);
Punch out code number 52 (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.
