Fuel System - Evaporative System Vacuum Leak Diagnosis



SI B16 03 12



Fuel Supply Systems



October 2012



Technical Service



This Service Information bulletin supersedes SI B16 03 12 dated February 2012.



[NEW] designates changes to this revision



SUBJECT



Natural Vacuum Leak Diagnosis (NVLD)



MODEL



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 9



[NEW] All models with NVLD



INFORMATION



TEST MODULE OPERATING HINTS FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE NVLD SYSTEM



Evaporative system leakage is found using the NVLD tank leakage test plan:



[NEW] If a fault is identified when using the NVLD leakage test plan, the following points should be verified.



1. Check that the fuel cap is properly closed.



2. Testing the evaporative system requires all venting pipes and electrical connectors to be properly connected.



3. [NEW] Search for leakage using the VACUTEC(R) Smoke Machine 625-522B-BMW: always pressurize the system without smoke, and



monitor the flow meter and decay pressure gauge for system leakage. If leakage is present, briefly smoke the system to determine the location



of the leakage. Refer to the attachment when connecting the VACUTEC Smoke Machine 625-522B-BMW to the evaporative system.



Evaporative system leakage is NOT found using the NVLD tank leakage test plan:



Only perform the applicable test plans for the faults stored. Do not replace any parts unless a leakage is found using the smoke machine.



TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS WHEN USING THE VACUTEC SMOKE MACHINE



Testing evaporative systems for leaks is very challenging. We have developed some diagnostic hints and special tools to properly connect a



smoke machine to the NVLD fresh air vent/filter connection.



Attached is a detailed procedure for connecting the smoke machine to a vehicle using Natural Vacuum Leak diagnosis (NVLD).



Recently the VACUTEC(R) Smoke Machine 625-522B-BMW was added to the BMW Equipment Program. The VACUTEC(R) Smoke



Machine 625-522B-BMW is the only approved testing device for the fuel and evaporative systems. This device automatically converts air to



high purity nitrogen, using Pressure Swing Absorption (PSA) nitrogen technology. Orders for the VACUTEC(R) Smoke Machine,



625-522B-BMW, can be placed by calling the BMW Equipment program at 1-888-222-7997.



Included with the new VACUTEC(R) smoke machine are various caps and adaptors to help connect the applicator hose to the vehicle. It is



always suggested not to disturb the system before testing; try to create as little disturbance as possible to the system when connecting the



smoke machine. This smoke machine utilizes an UltraTraceUV(R) smoke solution. The smoke solution incorporates an ultraviolet dye, which



helps pinpoint the leak with an ultraviolet residue surrounding the leak area. Determining the source of the leak is made easy when the



included Hi-Density True UV LED light and incandescent white light are used.



When testing the vehicles evaporative system using the flow meter on the VACUTEC smoke machine, the ball indicator should not lift from



the zero measurement on the scale when the system is leak-free. All BMWs are designed to be 100% leak-free. A flow meter indicating zero



flow would be the same as placing your finger over or kinking the application hose of the VACUTEC smoke machine (no flow = 100%



leak-free).



For more information regarding evaporative system testing describing possible fire hazards using oxygen vs. nitrogen, please refer to the



following SAE website: www.sae.org/technical/papers/2007-01-1235

Exhaust System - Rattle Noise From Tail Pipe Upon Start Up



SI B18 01 12



Exhaust Systems



September 2012



Technical Service



SUBJECT



Rear Muffler Exhaust Flap Diagnosis



MODEL



All models with the N54, N54T or N55 engine



SITUATION



A rattling noise is heard from the exhaust tail pipe during start-up. The noise can last up to sixty seconds.



CAUSE



Insufficient vacuum to hold the exhaust flap shut



Note:



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 27



There will be an audible one-time click from the exhaust flap when it opens or closes. This is a normal function of the exhaust flap.



PROCEDURE



Recommended parts needed for diagnosis (all reusable):



10cm of vacuum line (P/N 11 72 7 545 323)



One meter of vacuum line (P/N 11 72 7 545 323)



Vacuum line T-fitting (P/N 11 72 1 439 973)



Vacuum line straight fitting (P/N 11 72 1 803 012)



1. Remove the vacuum line at the exhaust flap actuator. Install the 10 cm section of test hose with the T-fitting (1). Connect the one-meter section



of hose to the open port in the T-fitting.



2. Connect the other end of the one-meter vacuum test line to the pressure port (1) on top of the IMIB.



3. Select the Low Pressure 1 setting from the Multimeter menu section of the IMIB.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 28



If the engine is cold: The DME will actuate the exhaust flap for approximately 60 seconds once the engine is started. Measure the vacuum at



the IMIB during this actuation phase. If there are no leaks in the system, the IMIB should read 0.3 to 0.0 bar while the exhaust flap is actuating



(the flap is closed).



If the engine is at operating temperature: The exhaust flap can also be actuated manually through the ISID. Follow the necessary steps in



test plan "B1214_TVD_AGK - Exhaust flap." The exhaust flap actuates for approximately 30 seconds during the test. The engine needs to be



shut off and restarted during each test attempt. Measure the vacuum at the IMIB during this actuation phase. If there are no leaks in the system,



the IMIB should read 0.3 to 0.0 bar while the exhaust flap is actuating (the flap is closed).



If the reading is higher than 0.3 bar:



1. Isolate the exhaust flap actuator by splicing in the straight adapter fitting (1).



2. Check the vacuum again at the IMIB (the engine is running cold or through the ISID with the engine at operating temp).



3. If the reading is now within spec (0.3 bar or lower), the diaphragm in the exhaust flap actuator is the source of the leak and the rear muffler



with the flap will need to be replaced.



4. If the vacuum reading at the IMIB is still high, then the vacuum line, vacuum source or electrical solenoid/wiring will need to be checked to



find the cause of the high reading.

USB Audio Interface



MODEL



[NEW] All vehicles with



^ Option 6FL (USB Audio Interface)



Or



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 43



^ Option 6NL (Connection Bluetooth + USB devices incl.)



INFORMATION



The USB Audio interface is only available as a factory-installed option and cannot be retrofitted.



The USB Audio Interface allows the connection of compatible MP3 players, such as an Apple iPod (Generation4 or higher), to the vehicle and



operates it through the vehicles audio controls.



In addition to MP3 players, audio files on USB sticks can also be played through the USB audio interface.



Only audio files can be played. Accessing other files such as videos is not possible.



The USB audio interface currently supports the following compressed formats:



^ MP3 (mp3)



^ AAC (aac, m4a, m4b)



^ WAV/PCM (wav)



^ WMA (wma, asf)



^ Playlists in M3U format



NOTE:



WAV files are not supported in playlists.



It is possible to access all stored audio data directly through a playlist, as well as searching for genre, artist, album or title. However, the sorting and



displaying of audio files in the vehicle can only be carried out correctly if all the data stored on the MP3 player (e.g., ID3 tags) contains only Roman



characters. Playlists must contain absolute path indications if the audio file is not located in the same directory as the playlist itself.



Storage of the device and first installation



Observe all operating and storage instructions for the device if the iPod, MP3 player or USB stick is stored in the vehicle. It is recommended not to



store iPods, MP3 players or USB sticks in the vehicle for any length of time, since extreme environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) may



cause damage to the device.



Upon initial connection of an iPod, MP3 player or USB stick containing large amounts of data, audio files can be only accessed through the



directory structure of the device. The search by genre, artist, album or title only becomes available after the corresponding file information has been



transferred to the vehicle. The performance of an iPod, MP3 player or USB stick in the vehicle (such as duration of synchronization or operation



speed) depends on the storage capacity and technology of the device, as well as the number and the format of stored audio files. For example, the



synchronization of a USB stick with 8 GB of flash storage can take up to 10 minutes; longer synchronization times could be due to device specific



characteristics. During this time, music titles can be selected through indexes and file names.



Should the interaction of an iPod, MP3 player or USB stick with the USB Audio Interface not function correctly, it may also be due to defective or



unsupported encoding of audio files (e.g., bit rates bigger than 256 kbit/s).



For questions, please contact your local customer service directly or via email at: customer.service@bmw.com.



Compatible devices



Due to the variety of MP3 players and USB sticks and their technical differences, faultless operation with the USB audio interface cannot be



guaranteed for all devices.



For a list of compatible and/or recommended USB devices, please refer to the BMW USA website:



www.bmw.com/com/en/owners/navigation/audio/usb_audio.html.



For more detailed information on how to operate the connected audio device (iPod, MP3 or USB device) through the vehicle audio system, refer to



the Owners Manual.



The message "Incompatible Device" indicates the usage of an incompatible type of device.



IMPORTANT:



The playing of audio files from mobile phones equipped with a USB interface through the USB audio interface is not recommended. The receiving



or placing of phone calls cannot be guaranteed, because some mobile phone models exclude Bluetooth functionality in conjunction with a USB



connection.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 44



NOTE:



Charging the device through the cigar lighter should be avoided because of possible audio distortions caused by the cigar lighter.



Apple iPod devices



Identifying iPod models:



docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61688



^ iPod shuffle (with flash storage).



NOTE:



Can only be connected and used as "USB Mass Storage Class" devices along with a USB cable, if the File Allocation Table (FAT) format is



used.



^ Details for using the iPod as a "storage drive" can be found online: docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61131



^ Information on how to detect the software version of an iPod is available online: docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60984



NOTE:



When the iPod is connected to iTunes through a PC, iTunes is capable of automatically updating the iPod software. This could adversely affect the



interaction of the iPod with the USB audio interface.



[NEW] Vehicles without option 6NL (Connection Bluetooth + USB devices incl.):



Apple iPod devices must be connected to the vehicle through the adapter cable provided (Y cable from 30-pin-connector to USB and AUX-In).



It enables quick access to the iPods audio files and also charges the iPod while connected to the vehicle via the USB connector. In addition,



copy-protected music files can also be played.



IMPORTANT:



If the provided adapter cable for the Apple iPod is not used, iPod devices can only be used as a "storage drive" with the FAT format; the operation



of iPod devices under MacOS is also not possible.



Refer to the Aftersales Business Development & Marketing BMW Dealer Bulletin 65 04 07. See Attachment A.



[NEW] Vehicles with option 6NL (Connection Bluetooth + USB devices incl.):



[NEW] The Apple USB cable must be used (white USB cable which comes with the Apple device).



iPod devices can be disconnected from the vehicle at any time. Only the audio content of videos can be played.



MP3 devices



MP3 players can be connected to the vehicle through an aftermarket USB cable.



These devices will then also be charged through the USB connection.



IMPORTANT:



Copy-protected music files are not supported for these devices.



Devices with "Media Transfer Protocol (MTB)" cannot be used with the USB audio interface.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 45



This applies especially to devices with the "PlaysForSure" logo. To convert the device into "USB Mass Storage Class" mode, refer to the owners



manual of the MP3 player.



The MP3 player needs to be formatted with the FAT file system. Only the files of the first partition will be displayed.



NOTE:



During synchronization of an MP3 player with a PC, the software of the MP3 player could be automatically updated.



This could adversely affect the compatibility of the MP3 player with the USB audio interface.



USB devices



USB sticks can be connected directly to the USB Audio Interface.



NOTE:



On 1 Series, 3 Series and Z4 vehicles only, an adapter cable has to be used when connecting a USB stick to the USB Audio Interface to prevent



damage to the USB stick when closing the armrest. This adapter cable is no longer provided by the factory in these vehicles from May 2009 on. On a



customer request basis, it can be ordered through parts (P/N 84 10 9 143 446).



These devices will then also be charged through the USB connection.



IMPORTANT:



Copy-protected music files are not supported for these devices.



USB hard disks and USB hubs and/or card reader with several inputs cannot be used with the USB Audio Interface.



IMPORTANT:



The use of USB sticks with an integrated hard disk is not recommended, since tests have shown that their audio quality may not be acceptable.



USB sticks need to be formatted with the FAT format. Only the files of the first partition will be displayed.



Due to the variety of USB sticks on the market and their technical differences, faultless operation in the vehicle can only be ensured through testing



the product in the vehicle.

Troubleshooting/Concept Related Behaviors



TROUBLESHOOTING



Technical limitations of the USB audio interface



1. The connected USB device is not recognized and cannot be selected as an entertainment source. This is with the USB device connected at



vehicle start-up, or if the USB device is connected with the ignition on (KL15):



^ Not all USB devices are compatible with option 6FL or option 6NL. Please refer to the latest list of compatible and/or recommended USB



devices. www.bmw.com/com/en/owners/navigation/audio/usb_audio.html



^ For diagnosis of the USB audio interface connection, please refer to SI B65 07 08.



2. A track cannot be played and/or is skipping:



^ The file has an invalid format (not mp3, wma or aac), is corrupt, or protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM).



3. Playlists, genres, artists, albums and tracks on USB devices are not displayed:



^ Only Roman text characters are supported. Other character sets (Greek, Japanese, etc.) cannot be displayed.



4. Time period differs for playlists, genres, artists, albums and tracks on USB devices are displayed:



^ The time period for playlists, genres, artists, albums and tracks on USB devices to be displayed depends upon the number of audio files on



the final device. In the case of a device with 80GB storage and 15,000 audio files, for example, this could take several hours.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 48



5. The iPod cant be fully operated through the vehicle audio system (affects only option 6FL):



^ For use of an Apple iPod, it is recommended to use the "Adapter cable for Apple iPod" (Y-cable). If the Apple iPod is connected using the



USB connector cable supplied with the iPod, the iPod is activated as a USB MSC device. This is only possible if the iPod has been



configured accordingly, using iTunes, and formatted using an FAT file system (Windows systems only, not Mac). In addition, no access to



the playlists is possible in this operating mode and the DRM-protected audio files cannot be played.



6. Distortions through the audio system when the device is connected to the cigar lighter for charging:



^ There are malfunctions and audio interference, if a device is connected to both the USB connector and the 12V socket. Depending on the



model, the USB devices may be supplied with power by the USB connector itself. This means that no additional power connection is



required, nor is one recommended.



7. USB hard drive is not working correctly:



^ Trouble-free operation of USB hard drives cannot be guaranteed. The power supply of the USB is not sufficient for most hard drives.



Audio interference may also occur. The use of hard drives is neither supported nor recommended.



8. iPod 3rd Generation is not working:



^ iPods of the 3rd generation are not supported.



9. With the CCC head unit, the browsing history is not stored. For example, if the list of artists is browsed and an artist is selected, the cursor will



appear at the beginning when returning to the artists list.



^ Normal operation.



10. There are malfunctions if a mobile phone is connected to the USB Audio Interface and paired with the Bluetooth hands-free system:



^ Some mobile phones deactivate Bluetooth if connected to USB.



Concept related behaviors



1. Intermittent inability to select and/or activate categories such as playlists, genres, artists, albums, and tracks after starting the vehicle with the



USB device already connected. This occurs if very few audio files (less than 70) are stored on the USB device:



^ Disconnect and/or reconnect the USB device, or store more audio files.



2. Message "Reading data" is permanently displayed:



^ Make a new selection; disconnect and/or reconnect the device; change the entertainment source and change back again; allow the vehicle



to enter sleep mode.



3. Message "No supported audio files found" is displayed when a playlist is selected:



^ If playlists and audio files are stored in different folders, absolute paths must be used, e.g., /dir1/dir2/track.mp3.



4. Interference is heard instead of an audio track after a vehicle start with a USB stick connected:



^ Select a new track manually, or skip forward or back.

Closed-circuit Current Measurement



MODEL



All



SITUATION



Increased closed-circuit currents may occur permanently or intermittently and cause the battery to discharge prematurely. The increase in



closed-circuit current may be caused by a faulty control unit, or by the installation of a non-approved accessory.



In a situation where a vehicle has broken down due to a discharged battery, for diagnostic purposes it is important not to disconnect the battery. This



is because a control unit will be reset if the battery is disconnected. Following a reset, the faulty control unit may start functioning correctly again,



making accurate diagnosis impossible.



[NEW] To correctly measure closed-circuit current, the 50-amp clip-on probe (previously used with the MIB) or the 100-amp clip-on probe can now



be used in conjunction with the IMIB (Integrated Measurement Interface Box) to properly diagnosis closed-circuit current problems over an



extended period of time. Connect the amp clip-on probe directly to the IMIB Measurement input 3 (green socket). Refer to SI B04 35 09 for



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 50

Procedure



PROCEDURE



1. [NEW] It is very important that any "Power management" faults stored be diagnosed and corrected, and the "Energy Diagnosis" test plan



carried out before the following procedure is performed. Only perform this procedure if closed-circuit current violations are listed in the "Most



Likely Cause" list.



2. [NEW] Check and test the battery using the BMW Battery Tester. Refer to SI B 04 25 02 for information about the BMW Battery. Refer to SI



B61 02 11 for vehicles equipped with advanced onboard battery diagnostics that do not require the BMW Battery Tester. If necessary,



recharge or replace the battery.



3. If the battery is installed in the trunk, open the trunk and turn the lock to the locked position, using a screwdriver or similar (simulates the



trunk lid being closed). The hood must be closed. If the battery is installed in the engine compartment, open the hood and pull the front lid



contact switch fully up, and lock in this position (workshop position, simulates the front lid being closed). The trunk must be closed.



4. With the exception of the trunk/hood above, all other doors/lids must be closed.



5. In order to simulate normal closed-circuit conditions:



^ Turn the ignition on and activate all electrical consumers, including any accessories. Turn the ignition off. In some cases, a drive cycle



may need to be carried out in order to duplicate a closed-circuit current problem.



^ Open and close the driver's door (simulates somebody getting out).



^ Lock the car, arming the DWA if this is installed.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 51



6. In general, closed-circuit current consistently over 50mA must be investigated. Depending on the vehicle's equipment, closed-circuit current



by vehicle model is approximately as shown above.



7. If the nominal milliamp reading is not achieved after the appropriate time, refer to the attached troubleshooting charts. On 2005 MY vehicles



equipped with BMW ASSIST, there are additional current fluctuations as high as 500ma that last for approximately 2 minutes. The



fluctuations occur every 15 minutes for up to 14 hours after key off. This is considered normal operation of the TCU, and should not be



considered a fault. This also applies to 2005 TCUs that are installed into earlier production vehicles as replacement parts.

SUBJECT



Head Bolt Threads Stripping Out of Block During Engine Reassembly



MODEL



[NEW] All with aluminum engine block



[NEW] SITUATION



While performing the torque procedure on the cylinder head during engine reassembly, the head bolt threads strip out of the block. Typically this



occurs during the repair of an engine that has been overheated.



CAUSE



Overheat condition has weakened the structure of the aluminum block assembly in the area of the bolt threads.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 61



[NEW] PROCEDURE



In cases where an engine needs to be disassembled due to an overheating event, the following steps should be taken:



1. Before removing the cylinder head, loosen and retorque each head bolt to ensure thread strength and integrity.



2. If the engine block threads strip (pull out of the engine block) during the retorque, replace the engine block with piston or complete "short"



engine assembly as determined and supported by the repair/replacement cost analysis.



3. If all head bolts achieve correct torque, proceed with cylinder head removal. Once removed, use a straight edge on the block surface, as well



as the cylinder head, to determine if any deviation caused by the overheat is present. If applicable, be aware of any protrusion of the cylinder



liners above the surface of the engine block.



Note:



Some engines and engine blocks require TeileClearing approval before replacement.



[NEW] WARRANTY INFORMATION



For covered repairs where the approved BMW repair instructions allow for the repair or replacement of a part, component, or assembly, a repair



must be performed as long as the cost of repair does not exceed 75 percent of the cost of replacement of the part, component or assembly.

Instruments - Maximum Permissible Speedometer Deviations



SI B62 06 12



Instruments



April 2012



Technical Service



This Service Information bulletin replaces SI B62 02 96.



SUBJECT



Maximum Permissible Speedometer Deviations



MODEL



All



SITUATION



The vehicle speed displayed in the instrument cluster displays a speed that is higher than the actual speed.



INFORMATION



Most speedometers have tolerances of approximately +10%. A "speedometer advance" is necessary to compensate for negative tolerances in tire



diameter, electronic controls, tire temperature, tire pressure, vehicle load and other factors.



Vehicle manufacturers usually calibrate speedometers to read high by an amount equal to the average error, to ensure that their speedometers never



indicate a lower speed than the actual speed of the vehicle.



Excessive speedometer deviations can come from several causes, but most commonly are due to nonstandard tire diameter and wheel size.



This SI defines the maximum and permissible speedometer reading tolerance.



The instrument cluster is a sealed unit and cannot be calibrated. Any tampering to the cluster will void the related component or vehicle warranty



coverage that is applicable.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 64



GPS devices are positional speedometers, based on how far the receiver has moved since the last measurement. Its speed calculations are not subject



to the same sources of deviation as the vehicle's speedometer (wheel size, transmission/drive ratios). Instead, the GPS positional accuracy, and



therefore the accuracy of its calculated speed, is dependent on the satellite signal quality at the time.



If you are using a known accurate GPS system as a reference speed, you need to use the formula below to calculate the maximum permitted



speedometer advance, which is 10% of the actual (input) speed plus 2.4 mph.



Example:



Actual speed = 50 mph



50 mph x 10% = 5 mph; 5 mph + 2.4 mph = 7.4 mph



Therefore, the permissible displayed speed is 50 to 57.4 mph.



(Note: The displayed speed must never be less than the actual speed.)



No repairs should be attempted if the speedometer advance is within 10% + 2.4 mph.



Use ISTA ((Integrated Service Technical Application) diagnosis or the instrument cluster self-test to make sure the needle for the speedometer is



moving smoothly.



NOTE:



The amount of speedometer advance has no effect on recording accumulated mileage in the odometer display. The odometer records total mileage



digitally, and does not incorporate any "advance" tolerances.

Electrical - Updated Battery Registration Procedure



SI B61 15 12



General Electrical Systems



April 2012



Technical Service



SUBJECT



Updated Battery Registration Procedure



MODEL



All



SITUATION



With the release of ISTA (Integrated Service Technical Application) D2.30.6 or later, an updated battery registration test plan has been introduced.



The test plan allows the technician to enter a 12-digit "Data Code Matrix" or 6-digit "Supplier Number" that is easily read off the new battery. This



will allow for tracking of the new battery in the vehicle, which will improve quality control of replacement batteries.



PROCEDURE



In order to obtain the proper numbers required by the test plan, before installing the replacement battery, note the 12-digit "Data Code Matrix" or



6-digit "Supplier Number" from the new battery. These numbers can be found on top of the battery. The next 2 steps will provide examples of the



numbers.



1. The 12-digit "Data Code Matrix" shown in this example is "11B336BE2015" and is a combination of numbers and letters.



Note:



Not all replacement batteries have this code. If this is the case, use the 6-digit code identified in step 2.



2. The 6-digit "Supplier Number" shown in this example is "165902". If this number is entered in the test plan, you also need the numbers



stamped on top of the negative post of the battery, for example, "46 11."



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 66



3. After the numbers have been obtained and the battery is installed in the vehicle, start diagnosis using ISTA D2.30.6 or later.



4. Select "Identification / Vehicle selection / Read out vehicle data / Start identification." A vehicle test is not necessary in order to perform



battery registration.



5. Select "Activities / Service function / 03 Body / Power supply / Register battery change / Start search."



6. Select the test plan "AS6120_WECHSEL - Register battery replacement."



7. Once the test plan starts, select "Register battery replacement."



8. The test plan reads out the current battery that is registered in the vehicle. Select the appropriate entry that applies to the replacement battery:



^ "Enter battery replacement: same capacity"



^ "Enter battery replacement: higher/lower capacity"



^ "Enter battery replacement: Change from normal lead-acid battery to AGM battery"



9. The test plan then asks the question, "Is there a data matrix code on the label of the newly installed battery?"



^ Select "Yes" if the 12-digit code displayed in step 1 is present. After yes is selected. proceed to step 10.



^ Select "No" if the 6-digit code displayed in step 2 is present. After no is selected, proceed to step 11.



Note:



Most replacement batteries only have the 6-digit code on the new battery.



10. The test plan prompts to "Enter second line of data matrix code as described (Note! Upper and lower case sensitive)." Enter the 12-digit code



recorded from the new battery in step 1 with no spaces, for example, "11B336BE2015." Select "Next" when finished. The new battery is



registered in the vehicle and the test plan can be completed. You are finished.



11. This step should only be performed if "No" was selected in step 9. The test plan prompts to "Enter 6-digit supplier number as described."



Enter the 6-digit code recorded from the new battery in step 2, for example, "165902." Select "Next" and proceed to the next step.



12. The test plan prompts to "Enter number of polarity mark without spaces." Enter the 4 digits that were recorded in step 2 from the top of the



negative battery post, for example "4611." Select "Next" when finished. The new battery is registered in the vehicle and the test plan can be



completed. You are finished. 2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) Technical Service Bulletin # 121311 Date: 120301

CPO Inspection Guidelines: Engine Inspection on Vehicles with Extended ("Overdue") Oil Service Intervals



MODEL All



SITUATION



During the CPO inspection process, vehicles with a questionable service history may require further consideration prior to continuing with the CPO



inspection.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 70



Such vehicles will fall into the category of "TSE must approve" when qualifying for the CPO Program, using the "CPO Service Guidelines -



Maintenance Tables" document (copy is attached). This Service Information bulletin provides the engine inspection procedure for vehicles with an



extended ("overdue") service history.



In general, the high quality synthetic oils used in BMW engines provide sufficient protection against oxidation, nitration and thermal breakdown,



even in situations when the regular service maintenance was extended ("overdue"), due to the customers neglect.



However, certain external conditions (mainly city driving style and/or high engine loads; poor fuel quality; extreme ambient temperatures), combined



with excessively long oil service intervals, may accelerate engine oil degradation, which may cause premature wear of the engine components.



Continuous city driving (stop & go traffic); fuels with high content of olefins; sulfur and certain aromatic fractions; and very high ambient



temperatures are the most influential factors causing premature oil aging and a consecutive engine mechanical deterioration.



If the vehicle falls into the category of "TSE must approve" (red zone in the table), the following steps need to be performed in order to determine



vehicles CPO eligibility:



1. Remove the engine valve cover (on N62/N62TU and N73 engines, only from the left bank) and the oil filter insert.



2. To document the engine condition, digital pictures of the valvetrain; the inside surface of the valve cover; the oil filter insert; and the



identification plate from the left B-pillar must be taken.



3. Create and submit a PuMA case titled "CPO Engine Inspection", which should be categorized as follows:



The submitted PuMA case must describe the vehicles service history and must also have the pictures listed above (taken in "jpeg" format with low



resolution camera settings) attached.



4. Based on the information provided in the PuMA case, the TSE will qualify the vehicle for the CPO enrollment. If the TSE determines that the



vehicles condition will disqualify it for the CPO Program, then he will reply to the "CPO Engine Inspection" case denying the approval for the



CPO Program.



5. If the TSE determines that the vehicle condition is acceptable for the enrollment in the CPO Program, then the TSE will reply to the PuMA



case approving the CPO enrollment.



6. The attached illustrations below are the examples of how the engine components should be photographed, and should be used as guidelines in



the inspection process.



Example # 1:

CORRECTION



Step A:



A defective/depleted battery in the remote control key will mimic that no battery is installed in the remote control key; hence, no check control



message will be displayed. This is why it is imperative to test the battery in the remote control key first.



[NEW] Testing showed that even when performing diagnosis and following the test plan for the key battery charge/voltage status check offered in



ISTA, a damaged/depleted key battery will not be recognized.



[NEW] As a result, follow the recommendation below without performing a vehicle test:



1. [NEW] Check the battery functionality by removing the original key battery in the key and install a known good key battery; or, even better, use a



battery tester called state of charge (e.g., ZTS Multi-Battery Tester MBT-1) to test the key battery capacity



2. [NEW] Retest the functionality of the remote control key.



3. [NEW] When proper functionality is confirmed, replace the key batteries on all assigned remote control keys for the vehicle.



4. [NEW] If proper functionality cannot be restored with a known good key battery, refer to Step B.



Note:



The average life cycle of a battery in the remote control key is approximately 3 years from the day of production of the vehicle.



[NEW] More details on the ZTS Multi-Battery Tester MBT-1 can be found in Attachment_A and on the ZTS manufacturer website,



www.ztsinc.com/mbtl.html.



[NEW] Note:



The ZTS Multi-Battery Tester MBT-1 must be purchased through your center (e.g. from Amazon.com, SEARS, etc.). It will not be offered through



BMW.



Step B:



Perform diagnosis using ISTA (Integrated Service Technical Application). Complete any test plans related to the radio remote control system.



Note:



If the remote control key must be replaced, swap the existing slide-in (mechanical) key into the new replacement remote control(s).



Important:



If the rearview mirror must be replaced (remote receiver is integrated) on a Convertible, please perform a visual check on the mirror to assure that



the frequency of the remote receiver installed in the mirror is 315 MHz.

The S54 and S62 engines require a different procedure than conventional practice to check the oil level, which must be followed precisely for a true



indication of the oil fill level:



^ The engine must first be at full operating temperature.



^ Let the engine idle for at least 15 seconds.



^ Turn the engine off



^ Wait at least 1 minute for the oil to drain down into the sump.



^ Check the level using the dipstick.

SiriusXM Satellite Radio: How It Works



MODEL



[NEW] All



[NEW] Vehicles equipped with option 655 (Satellite Radio)



INFORMATION



What is satellite radio in general?



It is a subscriber-based radio service that is broadcast directly from satellites. Subscribers will be able to receive up to 100 radio channels featuring



compact disc digital quality music, news, weather, sports, talk radio and other entertainment channels.



Basically, it is an additional radio band. Unlike AM and FM, which are transmitted from earth-bound transmitters, satellite radio comes primarily



from a signal sent via satellites orbiting the earth.



Satellite radio signals are digital and the satellites cover the entire continental US.



This means channels have no geographic boundaries, and when driving across the country, satellite radio should not encounter static or fade.



However, brief reception loss or distortion may occur when the satellite receiver in the vehicle loses sight of the satellite: for example, in dense



urban areas surrounded by high-rise buildings; under trees; in tunnels; or in some mountain valleys.



When such reception losses occur, "Acquiring" is shown on the radio display. This is normal operation and requires no further diagnosis.



NOTE:



SiriusXM has already installed land-based repeaters to minimize these occurrences.



How does SiriusXM satellite radio work?



[NEW] Sirius satellite radio is a Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS) service operating in North America, owned by SiriusXM Radio.



Programming originates and is managed in the broadcast studio of SiriusXM, and transmitted to multiple high-powered satellites positioned in orbits



above the U.S.



The signal will then be broadcast from the satellites directly to satellite radio-capable receivers across the United States.



[NEW] For more detailed information, please log on to the SiriusXM website:



Satellite radio will not disrupt any existing radio signal. It is still possible to listen to local AM and FM stations.



[NEW] What is necessary for a SiriusXM satellite radio to operate in BMW vehicles?



To receive SiriusXM satellite radio in a BMW, three main components are needed:



1. SiriusXM-compatible audio system



2. Satellite antenna



3. Activated SiriusXM satellite radio receiver



The SiriusXM Satellite Receiver is a module that either is already part of the head unit (CIC, RAD2+ radio, etc.) or it mounts as a separate control



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 83



module in the rear of the vehicle.



The receiver is unique to BMW and specifically designed to work with SiriusXM satellite radio technology, integrating seamlessly into the BMW



bus network system.



The receiver module deciphers the satellite signal and converts it into an audio signal that is then sent to the vehicle's audio system.



The receiver will have a test channel (CH 184) to make sure the receiver is functioning.



The receiver must be activated to receive complete SiriusXM programming.



The BMW center activates the receiver via BMW CenterNet or a SiriusXM call center.



The Satellite Antenna is mounted on the roof on most models, and on the trunk of others.



Due to the technology of satellite radio transmissions, the antenna must be on the metal surface of a predefined area.



SiriusXM satellite radio is available for the following BMW vehicles:



Factory Installation



Refer to the availability chart on the SiriusXM website: www.siriusxm.com/vehicleavailability/b



Retrofit



Only vehicles with option 693 (Satellite Tuner Preparation)



Refer to the compatibility chart (Sirius Application and Parts Information) for retrofit kits in the Electronic Accessory Information Portal on BMW



CenterNet.



NOTE:



SiriusXM satellite radio is not available for the Z3 Roadster/Coupe, Z8 and E38 models.



IMPORTANT:



For newer BMW models, it is necessary to activate the satellite radio receiver through an enabling code.



For additional information on enabling codes (ordering, downloading, installation), refer to Service Information B09 04 09 and B09 05 09..

RHT Stops Opening in the Stacked/Extended Position



MODEL



E93 (3 Series Convertible)



SITUATION



When opening the Retractable Hardtop (RHT), the RHT panels stack and the trunk lid opens, but the RHT stops in this position and will not move



into the trunk.



CAUSE



The contact mechanism for the "roof package stowed" hall sensor is stuck down, causing the sensor to always read "No". This incorrect status



prevents the RHT from continuing its operation.



CORRECTION



Ensure that the contact mechanism can move freely so that the hall sensor status will change as necessary.



PROCEDURE



1. Inspect the "roof package stowed" hall sensor contact mechanism (1) to verify that it is in fact stuck in the down position.



2. Remove the hall sensor bracket by releasing the 2 fasteners (1).



NOTE:



Mark the location of these fasteners with a paint marker prior to removal, to ensure the correct position upon reinstallation.



3. Inspect the contact for the hall sensor:



^ If the contact is difficult to move but is not bent, lubricate the pivot point with silicone spray and ensure the pivot is not binding.



^ If the contact is bent and binding, bend it back into the correct position such that it will move freely.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 89



^ If the wire harness leading to the hall sensor has come free from its retaining clip, thus trapping the contact, secure this harness back into the



retaining clip.



4. Reinstall the hall sensor, making sure that the fasteners are back to their pre-removal position.



5. Ensure proper RHT operation.

Transmission Failures Due to Incorrect Installation



MODEL



All



SITUATION



Transmission failure and damage can result from the incorrect installation of the transmission.



These transmission failures and or damages are often caused by damaged, misaligned or missing dowel bushings between the engine block and the



transmission housing. The resulting transmission-to-engine misalignment will gradually wear off the splines on the input shaft of the clutch cylinder



until power transfer is no longer possible.



The failure symptom relating to the misalignment is a popping sound while driving,loss of forward and reverse gears and finally totals failure of the



transmission. Transmission failure may occur between 1,000 and 25,000 miles after removal of the engine and or transmission depending on the



severity of the misalignment.



Misalignment of the transmission to the engine can also occur as a result of improper engine removal procedures (transmission is left in vehicle



during short block replacement), etc.



It is imperative that the proper procedures, tools and equipment necessary to repair or replace an engine or transmission be used. Additional

MOST Bus Diagnosis



MODEL



All models equipped with a MOST Bus



SITUATION



The customer may complain of one or more of the following:



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 95



^ Crackling or popping sounds from all speakers



^ Loss of audio



^ The control display is constantly displaying the "BMW" banner



^ The iDrive controller is not responsive



^ The control display is blank, white or frozen on the current menu screen.



CAUSE



Possible causes include:



^ Control module power or ground failure



^ Fiber optic cable connection fault or improper radius



^ Faulty control module



^ Dirty, scratched or defective navigation map disc.



^ [NEW] Control module over temperature.



[NEW] PROCEDURE



1. Diagnose all MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) Bus system-related faults stored, using ISTA (Integrated Service Technical



Application).



2. If no faults are stored, the "MOST System Analysis" test plan can be called up via the following path in ISTA; "Function structure / 03 Body /



Audio, Video, Telephone, Navigation (MOST combination) / MOST functions".



3. Control module over temperature faults can be diagnosed with test plan "MOST device; excess temperature switch off" found via the following



path in ISTA: "Function structure / 03 Body / Audio, Video, Telephone, Navigation (MOST combination) / MOST functions".



If a control module becomes too hot, the control module switches off for up to 10 minutes to protect internal components from damage. Furthermore,



the entire MOST Bus can switch off for 10 minutes. After the control module has cooled down, it regains function again. If the fault "Cutoff excess



temperature" is stored in the control module, the control module concerned and the head unit will store the fault. These faults are taken into



consideration by the test plan in ISTA.

CIC-HDD: Audio Output Has Dropouts or Distortions During Playback



MODEL



All models with option 609, (Navigation System Professional, CIC)



SITUATION



When a CD or DVD is inserted into the Car Information Computer (CIC) internal DVD drive, the audio output can have dropouts or distortions



during playback.



INFORMATION



These audio output dropouts and/or distortions only occur if the inserted CD or DVD was already copied onto the CIC internal Hard Disc Drive



(HDD) and when this CD or DVD has copy protection.



IMPORTANT:



As soon as a copy-protected CD or DVD was copied onto the HDD, the audio output dropouts and/or distortions also occur without a CD or DVD



being inserted into the CIC internal DVD drive!



CAUSE



The CIC internal HDD recognizes the inserted CD or DVD as already copied onto the HDD and will play the music from the HDD database and not



from the CD or DVD.



Therefore the music data copied from the copy protected CD or DVD onto the HDD can be corrupted and cause the audio output dropouts and/or



distortions during playback.



Note:



CDs or DVDs that are played back in the CIC internal DVD drive but are not copied onto the HDD do not show this behavior.



CORRECTION



Do not replace parts and do not perform any repair attempt!



This is normal operation of the entertainment system.



Delete the music data stored on the CIC internal HDD and play the music directly from the CD or DVD inserted into the CIC internal DVD drive.



Please explain the behavior of the entertainment system to the customer.

Testing Evaporative Systems for Leaks



MODEL



All



[NEW] EVAP SYSTEM TANK LEAKAGE DMTL TEST MODULE OPERATING HINTS



Evaporative system leakage is found using the DMTL tank leakage test plan:



If a leakage is found to be present using the DMTL leakage test plan, the following points should be verified.



1. Check that the fuel cap is properly closed.



2. Testing the evaporative system requires all venting pipes and electrical connectors to be properly connected.



3. Search for leakage; if needed, use the VACUTEC(R) Smoke Machine 625-522B-BMW.



4. Do not replace the DMTL pump or fuel cap.



Evaporative system leakage is NOT found using the DMTL tank leakage test plan:



Only perform the applicable test plans for the faults stored. Performing additional leak measurements using a smoke machine on a vehicle that



does not fail the DMTL leakage test plan will not be reimbursed by Warranty. Do not replace the fuel cap, DMTL pump or carbon canister.



DMTL pump "system error" fault is stored in the vehicle:



Only perform the applicable test plan for the fault stored. If the test plan states to replace the DMTL pump, only replace that component.



^ Do not smoke test the vehicle.



^ Do not replace the fuel cap.



^ Do not drain the fuel tank or refill.



TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS WHEN USING THE VACUTEC SMOKE MACHINE



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 101



Testing evaporative systems for leaks is very challenging. We have developed some diagnostic hints, along with the introduction of a new special



tool, to properly connect a smoke machine to the DMTL



fresh air vent/filter connection.



Recently the VACUTEC(R) Smoke Machine 625-522B-BMW was added to the BMW Equipment Program. The VACUTEC(R) Smoke Machine



625-522B-BMW is the only approved testing device for the fuel and evaporative systems. This device automatically converts air to high purity



nitrogen, using Pressure Swing Absorption (PSA) nitrogen technology. Orders for the VACUTEC(R) Smoke Machine 625-522B-BMW, can be



placed by calling the BMW Equipment program.



[NEW] Included with the new VACUTEC(R) smoke machine are various caps and adaptors to help connect the applicator hose to the vehicle. It is



always suggested not to disturb the system before testing; try to create as little disturbance as possible to the system when connecting the smoke



machine. This smoke machine utilizes an UltraTraceUVF smoke solution. The smoke solution incorporates an ultraviolet dye, which helps pinpoint



the leak with an ultraviolet residue surrounding the leak area. Determining the source of the leak is made easy when the included Hi-Density True



UV LED light and incandescent white light are used.



[NEW] When testing the vehicle's evaporative system using the flow meter on the VACUTEC smoke machine, the ball indicator should not lift from



the zero measurement on the scale when the system is leak-free. All BMWs are designed to be 100% leak-free. A flow meter indicating zero flow



would be the same as placing your finger over or kinking the application hose of the VACUTEC smoke machine (no flow = 100% leak-free).



For more information regarding evaporative system testing, describing possible fire hazards using oxygen vs. nitrogen, please refer to the following



SAE web site:



www.sae.org/technical/papers/2007-01-1235



Shown below is the Evaporative Test Adaptor, which can connect directly to DMTL (Diagnosis Module Tank Leakage) pump-equipped vehicles



only after the fresh air filter connection has been removed. When properly connecting the tool to the system, the main benefit is that it does not



disturb the integrity of the system. This tool should be used anytime the vehicle is in the workshop for a small or large leak in the evaporative



system. Shown in the picture is the tool connected to the DMTL at the fresh air filter connection.

Hose Connection to DMTL



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 102



When properly connecting the tool to the system, the main benefit is that it does not disturb the intergrity of the system. This tool should be used



anytime the vehicle is in the workshop for a small or large leak in the tool connected to the DMTL at the fresh air filter connections.



All vehicles equipped with a LDP (Leak Diagnosis Pump) system



Vehicles equipped with the LDP system will require a series of small pieces of rubber hose to adapt the smoke machine application hose.



NOTE:



It is important that the initial test of the system is conducted with the system intact; avoid disturbance of the system. All electrical connectors and



ventilation pipes should not be disturbed, because an intermittent issue could be disturbed and nothing will be found during the test plan. Electrical



connector seals and pin or socket grommets are important parts of the system's integrity; each component relies on the electrical connectors for



proper sealing. Removing these connectors during testing will result in an incorrect diagnosis of the system.

Voluntary Emissions Recall Campaign 10E-A02: N54 High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HDP)



MODEL



E60, E61, E71, E82, E88, E89, E90, E92, and E93 with the N54 engine produced from 05/26/2006 through 12/21/2009



SITUATION



An internal component in the high-pressure pump (HDP) may fail, causing drivability symptoms such as longer starting times or erratic engine



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 121



operation. Should this situation occur, the engine emergency operation (Safe Mode) is activated and the Service Engine Soon lamp (MIL) is



illuminated.



Note:



In this situation, the vehicle can continue to be driven, even for long distances, without the risk of a breakdown.



The low-pressure fuel sensor may deteriorate prematurely due to internal leakage. The Service Engine Soon lamp (MIL) may be illuminated with the



appropriate fault code stored in the DME fault memory.



Copy of the customer notification letter is shown in this bulletin .



AFFECTED VEHICLES



This Emissions Recall Campaign involves E60, E61, E71, E82, E88, E89, E90, E92, and E93 vehicles with N54 engines which were produced from



05/26/2006 through 12/21/2009.



In order to determine whether a specific vehicle has had this Emissions Recall Campaign completed or is affected by this Recall Campaign, 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.



CORRECTION



Read vehicle's fault memory using the current version of ISTA/D. Check, and if required, replace the low-pressure fuel sensor and the high-pressure



fuel pump (HDP).



NOTE:



E89 (Z4) vehicles are not equipped with the low-pressure fuel sensor. A fault memory/low-pressure sensor check should not be performed on E89



vehicles.



PROCEDURE



1. Use the current ISTA diagnosis software (2.22 or higher). Perform the vehicle test and read the fault memory.



Note:



This step does not need to be performed on E89 vehicles.



2. If any of the following low-pressure sensor fault codes (29F3, 2A2D, 119201, 119202, 11A201, 11A202, 11B211) are stored in the DME, replace



the low-pressure fuel sensor. Follow Repair Instruction REP 13 53 594. Clear the fault memory and continue to step 6.



3. If only fault codes 2FBF or 11A401 (Fuel pressure on-release injection; pressure too low) or no faults were stored in the DME memory, go to step



4.



4. Activate the electric fuel pump (EKP) for 20 seconds using ISTA/D and the diagnostic query function (after the vehicle test, select Control unit



tree; DME; Call ECU functions; Diagnostic query; and Low-pressure fuel pump with activation).



5. If the low fuel pressure exceeds 6.7 bar at any time during the measurement period, replace the low-pressure fuel sensor. Follow Repair



Instruction REP 13 53 594.



If the fuel pressure stays below 6.7 bar, the low-pressure sensor is operating correctly and does not require replacement.



Clear fault memory and continue to step 6.



6. [NEW] Verify the DCSnet vehicle repair history. If the high-pressure pump was recently replaced with P/N 13 51 7 613 933, 13 51 7 594 943 or



with its supersession P/N 13 51 7 616 170, no more action is required.



7. [NEW] If the HDP was not replaced previously with P/N 13 51 7 613 933, 13 51 7 594 943 or P/N 13 51 7 616 170, install new high-pressure



fuel pump P/N 13 51 7 616 446. Follow Repair Instruction REP 13 51 017.



Important:



Repair Instructions 13 51 017 and 13 53 594 have been updated with the release of special tool P/N 83 30 0 496 939. The special tool



accommodates easy removal of the engine harness block located under the intake manifold. Consequently, the removal of the intake manifold is no



longer necessary when replacing the HDP (or low-pressure fuel sensor) on the N54 engine (for more details, refer to SI B13 10 10).



IMPORTANT NOTE:



All three part numbers (P/N 13 51 7 613 933, P/N 13 51 7 616 170 and P/N 13 51 7 616 446) incorporate the same level of HDP quality



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 122



improvements. If necessary, in order to expedite the repair time, you may use P/N 13 51 7 613 933 or P/N 13 51 7 616 170 from your center's parts



stock supply. This may be done only for individual, time-critical cases. For regularly scheduled campaign repairs, P/N 13 51 7 616 446 should be



ordered from the PDC.

SUBJECT



Cleaning Excess Butyl from RHT Roof Shells



MODEL



E93 (3 Series Convertible)



SITUATION



Butyl adhesive is used to secure the seals of the retractable hardtop (RHT) to the steel roof shell panels.



Particularly at high ambient temperatures, if excess butyl is present, it may start to seep out from between the seal and the roof shell.



This butyl may be black or gray in color.



CAUSE



Excess butyl applied to the roof shell during assembly



CORRECTION



Remove the excess butyl by following the procedure outlined below.



Failure to follow this procedure could result in a water leak that was not present before.



PROCEDURE



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 128



1. Use a nylon wedge (1) to press the excess butyl (2) out from under the seal. The excess butyl should be pulled up onto the roof shell as shown.



2. Lay any commercially available plastic tape (1) over the butyl previously pressed out. Press down on the butyl with the nylon wedge (2).



3. Pull the tape (1) off the roof shell and most of the butyl (2) will be removed with the tape. Blot the tape on the roof shell to remove any remaining



butyl.



4. Insert a toothpick or pick (1) under the affected area of the seal. Rotate the pick to collect the excess butyl (2) still under the seal and pull it out.



This will allow the seal to sit flush to the roof shell.



NOTE:



Perform this step carefully, as removing too much butyl could result in a future water leak.



5. Clean any remaining residue on the painted roof shell using adhesive remover, such as Wurth Clean Solve.

N54 Engine Failsafe: FC 3100, FC 3OFE and/or FC 30FF Is Stored in DME Fault Memory



MODEL

2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 136



INFORMATION



The customer complains that the engine management system has entered the engine failsafe mode and that the turbocharger boost is reduced. One or



both of the following faults are stored in the DME memory:



^ 3100 Boost-pressure control, deactivation - Boost-pressure buildup prohibited



^ 30FE Turbocharger, charge-air pressure too high



^ 30FF Turbocharger, charge-air pressure too low - Charge-air pressure too low.



Note:



If a defective high pressure fuel pump or additional faults are found in the DME memory (e.g., fuel pressure, crank sensor, cam sensor, knock sensor,



etc.), then those faults will be the primary focus of the diagnosis, using the test plans provided for those faults. FC 3100 is only a result of the



component fault.



If FC 3100, 30FE, and/or 30FF are the only faults stored in the memory, then those faults must be the primary focus of the troubleshooting. These



faults are stored due to an incorrect turbocharger boost level, possibly caused by one of the following items:



Troubleshooting Hints:



^ Air path disruption caused by an aftermarket air filter, air filter housing, induction tubes, pop-off (blow-off) valves, exhaust systems, performance



catalytic convertors, increased turbocharger boost caused by "piggy back modules", or tuner software, etc. Refer to B12 10 08 and B12 20 08 for



more details.



^ Leaks or restrictions in the induction system, loose clamps, cracked pipes, or housings. First determine whether the vehicle has a condition where



the induction system could be leaking. What are the adaptation values? Are they positive or negative values? In cases where the adaptations



indicate a lean condition (positive value), a smoke machine is a helpful tool in determining whether the induction system has a leak.



IMPORTANT NOTE:



The VACUTEC(R) Smoke Machine 625-522B-BMW can be purchased via the BMW Equipment Program. Orders for the new machine can be



placed by calling. Included with the new VACUTEC(R) smoke machine are various caps and adaptors to help connect the applicator hose to the



vehicle. It is always suggested to not disturb the system before testing; try to disturb the system as little as possible when connecting the smoke



machine. This smoke machine utilizes an UltraTraceUV(R) smoke solution. The smoke solution incorporates an ultraviolet dye, which helps



pinpoint the leak with an ultraviolet residue surrounding the leak area. Determining the source of the leak is made easy when the included Hi-Density



True UV LED light is used. In the case of the N54 engine, it would be helpful to use the sealing plugs found in the Turbocharger Diagnostic Tool



P/N 81 29 0 426 464 kit.



Note:



The smoke machine hose must be adapted to the sealing plug with another small piece of rubber hose with an approximate outside diameter of



7-8mm.



^ Leaks or restrictions in the exhaust system; visual inspection; and/or use of the smoke machine as described above is helpful. Especially important



when the catalyst conversion faults (29F4/29F5) are stored in conjunction with 3100/30FF.



^ Performing a quick inspection of all vacuum hoses is very important; a slightly collapsed vacuum hose could lead to intermittent boost faults, or



boost faults occurring only under heavy acceleration demands.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 137



^ Using a vacuum gauge and boost gauge can be very helpful in diagnosing a vehicle with intermittent boost faults. Although the problem may not



be present long enough to set a boost fault, the gauges may show a hint of a deteriorating boost level that could ultimately lead to an effective



repair. Connecting the vacuum gauge at the vacuum actuator on one or both banks (using two gauges) with a "tee" connection will determine the



integrity of the vacuum supply (compare values to the attachment). It is important to block the vacuum bridge located between the two vacuum



solenoids to isolate the vacuum control for each bank. If one solenoid or vacuum hose leading to a solenoid is defective, the system will still



operate with this bridge intact. Removing this bridge may cause the fault to reoccur more frequently if the vacuum control is compromised. Erratic



operation of the vacuum gauge is a hint that a control problem is present; comparing the gauge movement to the other bank or another vehicle will



help determine whether a problem is present.



^ Connecting a boost gauge at one of the two pop-off (blow off) valve's vacuum supply lines can be very effective in measuring boost. Both pop-off



valves must stay in operation during testing; use a vacuum "T" fitting to connect a boost gauge. Attached to this bulletin is a vacuum and boost



specification chart that can be used to troubleshoot the system while driving.



^ Isolating or disconnecting the vacuum supply to the exhaust flap may also eliminate a leakage or a defective vacuum solenoid. This can done very



easily by blocking the hose located near the right front strut tower.



^ Checking the operation of the pop-off (blow-off) valves.



1. Visually inspect the vacuum hose from the intake manifold to both pop-off valves for leaks, restrictions, etc..



2. Remove the pop-off valves.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 138



3. To check function of the pop-off valves, it is necessary to activate them with vacuum. Turbocharger Diagnostic Tool P/N 81 29 0 426 464 should



be used to supply the 500 mbar of vacuum.



4. The pop-off valve plunger should move to the fully open position and maintain this position when the 500 mbar of vacuum are applied. If the



plunger does not react properly~ the valve must be replaced.



^ The Turbocharger Diagnostic Tool P/N 81 29 0 426 464 can only be operated in conjunction with the DIS Plus or GT1 with MIB. Refer to SI



B04 04 07 (Turbo Diagnostic Tool) and Repair Instruction RA 11 61 730 (Checking diagnosis unit for overpressure and vacuum pressure) for



additional details.



^ If the turbochargers are removed from the vehicle for inspection, it is necessary to inspect the actuator and waste gate wear, using the



measurement described in Repair Instruction RA 11 65 580 Replacing vacuum unit (wastegate valve)(N54).



^ Do not replace the turbochargers. This replacement requires a TeileClearing PuMA case. In some cases, TC may require additional measurements



and photos to describe the suspected problem.

Fuel System - Alcohol Fuel Blend Usage



SI B13 01 06



Fuel Systems



May 2011



Technical Service



This Service Information bulletin supersedes SI B13 01 06 dated September 2006.



[NEW] designates changes to this revision



SUBJECT



Alcohol Fuel Blends in BMW Vehicles



MODEL



All with gasoline engines



SITUATION



Fuel blends containing a high percentage (above 10%) of alcohol, mainly ethanol, are becoming more commercially available. Customers inquire



about the possibility of using alcohol fuels (e.g., E85) in BMW vehicles.



INFORMATION



Fuels containing up to and including 10% ethanol; or other oxygenates with up to 2.8% oxygen by weight, that is, 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl



ether); or 3% methanol plus an equivalent amount of cosolvent will not void the applicable warranties with respect to defects in materials or



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 179



workmanship.



Usage of such alcohol fuel blends may result in drivability, starting, and stalling problems due to reduced volatility and lower energy content of the



fuel. Those drivability problems may be especially evident under certain environmental conditions such as high or low ambient temperatures and



high altitude.



Only specially adapted vehicles (FFV - Flexible Fuel Vehicles) can run on high alcohol fuel blends. BMW, for the various technical and



environmental reasons explained below, does not offer FFV models.



Usage of E85 or any other high-alcohol content blend (e.g., E30) in BMW vehicles will cause various drivability complaints (cold-start problems,



stalling, reduced performance, poor fuel economy, etc.); may cause excessive emissions; and may cause irreversible damage to engine, emission



control and fuel delivery systems due to incompatibility of materials with alcohols.



General Notes Regarding E85 Fuel



E85 fuel contains 85% (by volume) ethanol and 15% gasoline. Ethanol can be produced chemically from ethylene or biologically from grains,



agricultural wastes, or any organic material containing starch or sugar. In the US, ethanol is mainly produced from corn and is classified as a



renewable fuel.



Similar to gasoline, ethanol contains hydrogen and carbon with additional oxygen molecules built into its chemical chain. This chemical structure



makes ethanol's burning process slightly cleaner than gasoline (lower tailpipe emissions).



On the other hand, due to lower carbon content, ethanol provides 27% less energy (for identical volume) than gasoline, resulting in reduced fuel



economy of E85 vehicles (approximately 22% higher consumption). Increased fuel consumption requires appropriately enlarged fuel tank capacities



(usually a 30% increase), and specific DME calibrations for E85 lower stoichiometric air/fuel ratio (10 compared to 14.7 for gasoline engines).



E85 fuel volatility is typically lower than gasoline (RVP 6-10 psi, compared to 8-15 psi for gasoline). Lower fuel volatility will reduce vehicle



evaporative emissions, but it may cause cold-starting problems, especially with lower ambient temperatures.



Under certain environmental conditions, mainly lower ambient temperatures, ethanol separates from the gasoline/alcohol mixture and absorbs water.



The ethanol-absorbed water molecules are heavier than gasoline or ethanol; they remain at the bottom of fuel tank and, when introduced into the



combustion process, they tend to form an extremely lean mixture resulting in misfire, rough idle and cold-starting problems.



Certain materials commonly used with gasoline are totally incompatible with alcohols. When these materials come in contact with ethanol, they may



dissolve in the fuel, which may damage engine components and may result in poor vehicle drivability.



Some metals (e.g., zinc, brass, lead, aluminum) become degraded by long exposure to ethanol fuel blends. Also, some nonmetallic materials used in



the automotive industry such as natural rubber, polyurethane, cork gasket material, leather, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyamides,



methyl-methacrylate plastics, and certain thermo and thermoset plastics degrade when in contact with fuel ethanol.



In order to safely and effectively operate a motor vehicle running on E85, the vehicle must be compatible with alcohol use. Some manufacturers have



developed vehicles called FFV (Flexible Fuel Vehicle) that can operate on any blend of ethanol and gasoline (from 0% ethanol and 100% gasoline to



85% ethanol and 15% gasoline). Ethanol FFVs are similar to gasoline vehicles, with main differences in materials used in fuel management and



delivery systems, and DME control module calibrations. In some cases, E85 vehicles also require special lubricating oils.



Aftermarket conversions of gasoline-powered vehicles to ethanol-fueled vehicles, although possible, are not recommended, due to internal materials



and DME software incompatibility as well as the high costs of conversion.



[NEW] In order to correctly diagnose various drivability complaints caused by fuel blends with a high level of ethanol content, refer to SI B13 05



10, Testing Fuel Composition for applicable tools and procedures.



WARRANTY INFORMATION



Components damage/malfunctions or any drivability problems caused by the use of fuels containing more than 10% ethanol (or other oxygenates



with more than 2.8% oxygen by weight) will not be covered under BMW warranties with respect to defects in materials or workmanship.

SUBJECT



Refilling Coolant Systems



MODEL



All



SITUATION



BMW recommends filling the cooling system for protection against freezing down to -34°F (-37°C). This means an antifreeze ratio of 50%



antifreeze and 50% water. In severely cold areas, the antifreeze can be increased to 60%, which provides freezing protection down to -62°F (-52°C).



Do not exceed a 60% ratio of antifreeze. The specified antifreeze ratio is important, since an insufficient amount would impair anti-freezing and



corrosion, inhibiting protection. An excessive amount would not improve freezing protection, but would instead reduce freezing protection. At all



times, the antifreeze and water should be pre-mixed before pouring into the engine. If pre-mixing is not performed, damage will occur to the water



pump assembly.



Since model year 2004 (and Z4 MY 2003), BMW has been using an engine coolant with a long-term life rating. The long-term antifreeze/coolant



must be completely drained and replaced only in conjunction with any Repairs that require replacement of aluminum or metal cooling system



components. The corrosion protection for these components is provided only in a new long-term coolant. On all other repairs that involve draining of



partial quantities of coolant, replace the drained quantities with new long-term antifreeze/coolant.



[NEW] Refer to SI B17 01 07 and B17 01 10 for additional information regarding BMW long-term antifreeze/coolant, maintenance, repairs,



replacement requirements and replacement procedures.

Technical Service



SUBJECT



No or Insufficient Heat when the Temperature Is Set to Maximum



MODEL



E90, E91, E92, E93 (3 Series)



SITUATION



There is no or insufficient heat when the temperature is set to maximum. After the vehicle has reached operating temperature, the temperature of the



air coming out from all the vents is not hot.



CAUSE



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 214



This could be caused by various issues, such as:



^ Coolant insufficiently filled



^ Clogged heater core or blocked radiator and/or hoses



^ Mixing flaps/stratification flap operating incorrectly



^ Ventilation temperature sensor



^ Footwell temperature sensor faulty



^ Interior temperature sensor faulty



^ Water valve not functioning correctly



^ IHKA (Integrated Heating and Air Conditioning, automatic) sending incorrect signal



PROCEDURE



Perform the following steps:



1. Verify the performance of the heater using a thermometer to measure the air temp at the vents (Defrost and Footwell). Compare to a known good



vehicle. If heater performance is insufficient when compared to a similar known good vehicle, proceed to the next step.



2. Perform a vehicle test using ISTA (Integrated Service Technical Application) and complete all related test plans if fault codes are stored.



3. The temperature comparison in steps 4 and 5 must be done as follows:



^ While the vehicle is idling in the shop



^ During a test drive



4. Check the engine and radiator temperature and compare readings to a similar known good vehicle (ISTA ECU functions).



5. Using a thermometer, compare the vent temperature readings to that of a similar known good vehicle. This can also be done via Function



Structure/Heating and air conditioning functions/Start search.



^ Select test plan AT6450_KAEKL from the list and click Display.



^ Option 5 - Display system values



6. Check the auxiliary water pump for correct operation (ISTA ECU component activation). If equipped with a water valve, disconnect the electrical



connector from the water valve and monitor the vent temperature, as stated in step 5.



7. If the water valves and water pump are operating correctly, but there is still insufficient heat, a visual inspection of the heater core is needed.



Caution:



Allow the vehicle to cool down before proceeding to the next step.



8. Disconnect the heater hoses entering the passenger compartment (at the bulkhead). Flush the heater core using a water hose. This must be done in



both directions. Collect the dispensed water in a bucket and check for contaminants such as sand, etc.



9. If no contaminants are found during backflushing of the heater core and the water flow is good, retest the heater function during a test drive.



Verify all temperatures in steps 3, 4 and 5. If the heater is working as designed, release the vehicle.



10. If contaminants are collected or the water flow through the heater core circuit is restricted, proceed to the next step.



11. Refer to REP "6411208 Replacing Heat Exchanger" for replacing the heater core.



12. If further assistance is required, submit a PuMA case.



Note:



Search for related test plans under Function structure/Body/Heating and air conditioning functions/Start search. This will display all available test



plans if no faults are stored.

with the N54 engine produced from 03/28/2006 to 02/26/2010



SITUATION



The customer may complain of extended engine cranking time before the start. Also, fault code 2FBF (Fuel pressure on - release injection, pressure



too low) may be stored in the DME.



CORRECTION



The new DME calibration improves the engine starting strategy and the robustness of the HDP high-pressure fuel pump.



AFFECTED VEHICLES



This Recall Campaign involves E60, E61, E71, E82, E88, [NEW] E89, E90, E92, and E93 vehicles with the N54 engine produced from 03/28/2006



to 02/26/2010.



In order to determine whether a specific vehicle has had this Emissions Recall Campaign completed or is affected by this Recall Campaign, 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



1. [NEW] Check the vehicle's integration level. If the integration levels are equal to or higher than:



E8x/E9x - Integration level: E89X-10-12-503 or higher



E71 - Integration level: E070-10-12-501 or higher



E6x - Integration level: E060-10-12-501 or higher



the vehicle is on the latest software level and does not need programming.

E82, E88, E90, E92, E93, E70, E71, F07, and F10 vehicles with the N55 engine



SITUATION



The following HDP high fuel pressure faults may be stored in the DME control module:



^ 2FBE (Fuel pressure too high, after engine stop) on E6x, E8x, E9x, and E71 vehicles with N54 or N54T (DME variants MSD80 or MSD81)



^ 11A301 (Fuel high pressure after engine stop; pressure too high) on F01 and F02 vehicles with N54 (DME variant MSD87)



^ 2BEC (Fuel high pressure after engine stop; pressure too high) on E7x, E8x, and E9x vehicles with N55 (DME variant MEVD17.2)



^ 11A301 (Fuel high pressure afier engine stop; pressure too high) on F07 vehicles with N55 (DME variant MEVD17.2)



CAUSE



An erroneous fault is stored due to the DME diagnostic software error. If stored as the only HDP-related faults, 2FBE/11A31/2BEC will not cause



SES lamp illumination or drivability complaints, nor do they indicate any failure of the HDP pump.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 226



In most cases, the fault frequency only occurs once.



CORRECTION



Do not replace any components or conduct any further diagnosis for 2FBE/11A301/2BEC faults. Clear the fault memory. DME diagnostic software



will be corrected in the upcoming ISTA/D versions.



If additional faults are stored (besides 2FBE/11A31/2BEC), further ISTA diagnosis should be conducted on the faults identified.

Correction For Situation I



CORRECTION FOR SITUATION I



For E90, E92, E93, E60, E61, E82, E88, and E71 vehicles where the customer complains of "Long Cranking Time" and fault code 2FBF is



stored in the DME with the SES illuminated, proceed as follows:



1. Use the current ISTA diagnosis software (2.22 or higher).



2. While observing the fuel pressure, activate the electric fuel pump for 20 seconds, using ISTA and the diagnostic query function (after the vehicle



test, select Control unit tree; DME; Call ECU functions; Diagnostic query; and Low pressure fuel pump with activation).



3. Immediately after electric pump activation, the pressure must reach at least 4.75 bars.



4. If the minimum threshold of 4.75 bars was not reached, further diagnose the low-pressure system using test module B1214_DI KDR, Fuel



Pressure Control (possibly defective electric fuel pump or fuel filter/pressure regulator).



5. [NEW] If the minimum threshold of 4.75 bars was reached, reprogram the vehicle with the current ISTA P version (ISTA/P 2.40.2 or higher). The



target integration levels should be:



E90, E92 and E93 - E89x-10-12-503 or higher



E60 and E61 - E060-10-12-501 or higher



E82 and E88 - E89x-10-12-503 or higher



E71 - E070-12-501 or higher



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 239



6. [NEW] IMPORTANT: When programming vehicles equipped with the MSD81 DME, make sure that the DME control module is marked for



programming in the measure plan (yellow mark in the control module tree and a "P" symbol). If the DME is not marked, you have to select it



manually for programming in the control module tree (click on the module and mark the "program" checkbox), and then determine the measures



plan.



7. [NEW] After programming the DME programmed number should be "7626000" or higher.



8. After programming, readapting the DME by means of a short test drive is recommended:



^ Bring the engine to the normal operating temperature.



^ Drive the vehicle at a speed of between 50-60 mph and engine speeds of 2,000-3,000 rpm for approximately 3 minutes (use manual gear shifting,



if needed).



^ Let the engine idle for approximately 5 minutes.



^ If possible, to confirm repair effectiveness, let the vehicle sit overnight and cold start it the next morning. Then let it idle for approximately 5



minutes.



For E89 vehicles where the customer complains of "Long Cranking Time" and only the fault code 2FBF is stored in the DME with the SES



illuminated, proceed as follows:



1. Install a calibrated manual fuel pressure gauge (e.g., P/N 83 30 0 491 260 pressure gauge from the K-L-Jetronic special tool kit P/N 83 30 0 491



259), connected with the three-way adapter tool 135 270, into the low-pressure fuel supply line as follows:



#1 - Three-way adapter tool (135 270)



#2 - Pressure gauge P/N 83 30 0 491 260



2. Use the current ISTA diagnosis software (2.22 or higher).



3. While observing the fuel pressure on the gauge, activate the electric fuel pump for 20 seconds, using ISTA and the component activation function



(after the vehicle test, select Control unit tree; DME; Call ECU functions; Component activation; and Fuel pump).



4. Immediately after electric pump activation, the pressure read from the manual gauge must reach at least 4.75 bars.



5. If the minimum threshold of 4.75 bars was not reached, further diagnose the low-pressure system using test module B1214_DI KDR, Fuel



Pressure Control (possibly defective electric fuel pump or fuel filter/pressure regulator).



6. [NEW] If the minimum threshold of 4.75 bars was reached, reprogram the vehicle with ISTA/P 2.40.2 (or higher). The target integration level



should be E89x-10-12-503 or higher



After programming, readapting the DME by means of a short test drive is recommended:



^ Bring the engine to the normal operating temperature.



^ Drive the vehicle at a speed of between 50-60 mph and engine speeds of 2,000-3,000 rpm for approximately 3 minutes (use manual gear shifting,



if needed).



^ Let the engine idle for approximately 5 minutes.



^ If possible, to confirm repair effectiveness, let the vehicle sit overnight and cold start it the next morning. Then let it idle for approximately 5



minutes.



Correction For Situation II



CORRECTION FOR SITUATION II



For E90, E92, E93, E60, E61, E82, E88, E89, and E71 vehicles where the customer complains of "Losing power when driving", fault codes



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 240



29DC/2FBF and/or 29F1/29F2 are stored in the DME with the SES illuminated; proceed as follows:



1. Use the current ISTA diagnosis software. Perform test module B1214_DI KDR (Fuel Pressure Control).



2. IMPORTANT: perform this step ONLY FOR E89 (Z4) vehicles (not equipped with the low fuel pressure system sensor):



Prior to execution of the High-pressure test module, install a calibrated manual fuel pressure gauge (e.g., P/N 83 30 0 491 260 pressure gauge from



the K-L-Jetronic special tool kit P/N 83 30 0 491 259), connected with the three-way adapter tool 135 270, into the low-pressure fuel supply line as



follows:



#1. - Three-way adapter tool (135270)



#2. - Pressure gauge P/N 83 30 0 491 260



3. Perform all applicable steps of the High-pressure Fuel test module B1214_DI KDR. Pay attention to all questions being displayed during



diagnosis and answer them correctly.



Important Note:



When comparing the measured fuel pressure with the engine running at idle speed, make sure to let the fuel pressure stabilize for approximately 60



seconds prior to the final reading. Otherwise, an implausible value (around 150 bars) is going to be entered into the test, resulting in inaccurate



diagnosis (defective high-pressure pump).



4. [NEW] After completion of all diagnostic steps, end the test module and enter the "fault feedback" screen. Enter the result of a diagnosis process



into the Diagnosis Code dialog box and obtain a "Diagnostic Code". In case no failure can be currently detected in the high-pressure fuel system,



enter the last option "No fault found" into the dialog box.



IMPORTANT DIAGNOSTIC HINT:



In certain cases, the HDP fault may be reproduced only when the engine is under load. In order to replicate the complaint, it may be necessary to



road-test vehicle with the manual fuel pressure gauge installed. The excessive low-pressure fuel fluctuation (between 5.0 and 7.0 bars) would



indicate incorrect operation of the fuel delivery system.



5. [NEW] For additional comprehensive N54 drivability diagnostic information, refer to the "N54 Engine Diagnostic Fault Tree" (the current version



"01_06_11" is shown in this bulletin).



6. Make sure that FASTA data is transmitted after the completion of all appropriate test modules.



7. IMPORTANT: Starting on November 1st, 2010, TC authorization is NOT required for the HDP pump replacement. For details related to the



"N54 Fuel System TC Action", refer to SI B13 08 09.



8. If the High-pressure Fuel Pump needs to be replaced, use the updated part P/N 13 51 7 613 933, which incorporates the latest improvements to



internal sealing. For the pump replacement procedure, refer to REP 13 51 017.



Note:



The repair instructions have been updated with the release of the special tool P/N 83 30 0 496 939. The special tool accommodates easy removal of



the engine harness block, located under the intake manifold. Consequently, the removal of the intake manifold is no longer necessary when replacing



the HDP on the N54 engine.



9. After replacement, clear the adaptation values of the high-pressure flow control valve in the DME by selecting the path:



^ Activities / Service Functions



^ Drive



^ Motor Electronics



^ Adjustment Programs



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 241



^ Delete Adaptations / variants, and then Test plan



^ Reset adaptive values.



10. [NEW] IMPORTANT NOTE: In addition, vehicles which have had the HDP pump replaced have to be reprogrammed afterwards with ISTA/P



2.40.2 (or higher). The target integration levels should be:



E60 and E61 - E060-10-12-501 or higher



E82, E88, E89, E90, E92, and E93 - E89x-10-12-503 or higher



E71-E070-10-12-501 or higher



IMPORTANT:



When programming vehicles equipped with the MSD81 DME, make sure that the DME control module is marked for programming in the measure



plan (yellow mark in the control module tree and a "P" symbol). If the DME is not marked, you have to select it manually for programming in the



control module tree (click on the module and mark the "program" checkbox), and then determine the measures plan. After programming, the DME



programmed number should be "7626000" or higher.



11. After programming, readapting the DME by means of a short test drive is recommended:



^ Bring the engine to the normal operating temperature.



^ Drive the vehicle at a speed of between 50-60 mph and engine speeds of 2,000-3,000 rpm for approximately 3 minutes (use manual gear shifting,



if needed).



^ Let the engine idle for approximately 5 minutes.

N54 - Diagnosis of Cold Start Rough Running with Misfire Faults



MODEL



E82, E88, E89, E90, E92, E93, E60, E61, E71 with N54 engine



SITUATION



The customer may complain that during the cold start in the morning, the engine runs very roughly and the Service Engine Soon lamp is illuminated.



Various misfire fault codes (e.g., 29CC, 29D2, 29D1, 29D0, 29C0, 29CF) may be stored in the DME control module.



The engine rough running complaint can be reproduced on a cold start in the workshop. During the course of diagnosis, the spark plugs, removed



from the misfiring cylinders after the problem was reproduced, are found to be soaked ("wet") with fuel, while the injector tips are covered with a



layer of carbon deposit.



CAUSE



Possible cause: high-pressure injector failure (leakage or incorrect spraying pattern) due to internal wear or unfavorable stock of tolerances



IMPORTANT:



For the comprehensive N54 drivability diagnostics, always refer to the "N54 Engine Diagnostic Fault Tree" file ([NEW] the current version



"10_19_09" is found as a PDF attachment to SI B12 25 09, SI B13 08 09 and SI B12 55 06).



CORRECTION



In the case of a reproducible "cold start" rough engine running with corresponding misfire faults, replace the high-pressure injector of the affected



cylinder, using the improved part (P/N 13 53 7 585 261). Follow TIS Repair Instruction RA 13 53 310 for injector removal and installation.



Additionally, the spark plug and the ignition coil from the misfiring cylinder should be replaced as well.



After an injector replacement, perform the individual injector calibration (adjustment) with the DME control module, as per SI B12 26 08.



If during a cold start rough engine running, the misfire faults are stored in more than one cylinder of the same bank, all three injectors from that bank



need to be replaced.



In case the misfire faults are stored on three (or more) cylinders, then the complete set of injectors (6) needs to be installed.



IMPORTANT:



[NEW] Effective on Monday, October 19, 2009, a Part Replacement Authorization is required (via submission of a TC Case) for replacement of



the injectors and ignition coils on N54-equipped E60, E61, E82, E88, E89 and E71 vehicles. For details related to the "N54 Engine Drivability



TC Action", refer to the updated SI B12 25 09.



IMPORTANT NOTE:



For N54 misfire fault complaints during normal engine operation (misfire faults not related to the engine's "cold start"), refer to the following



Service bulletins:



^ B12 05 09 - N54 (E6x) Misfire Faults due to DME Software Error



^ B12 06 09 - N54 (E9x) Misfire Faults due to DME Software Error



PARTS INFORMATION



WARRANTY INFORMATION



[NEW] Important note for E60, E61, E82, E88, E89, and E71 vehicles:



Part Replacement Authorization must be obtained for vehicle repairs requiring replacement of the N54 fuel injector, ignition coil or any other



component affected by the "N54 Engine Drivability TC Action" listed in SI B12 25 09.



Any TC part replacement must be preapproved by the TeileClearing process if it is to be paid by BMW NA. TC part replacement without prior



approval will be subject to debit. Claims submitted without prior approval will not be eligible for payment by BMW NA. When submitting a



warranty claim for the replaced part, the PuMA case number must be specified in the comment section.

ISTA/D Fault Code "S0001" Entries Still Present After Quick Delete



MODEL



All



SITUATION



When a vehicle test is performed and control modules are not responding (modules shown in yellow in the control module tree), a fault code starting



with an "S" and followed by a 4 digit number, such as "50001 No communication possible", is displayed. After finishing diagnosis and deleting the



fault memory of the vehicle, these control module faults are not deleted and are still displayed in the fault memory list.



These service fault code entries are known as virtual fault code entries for each control module that does not respond. However, when "Quick delete"



is performed and the service fault code entries are only momentarily deleted but return right away, this is an ISTA error.



ISTA will calculate the test plan to check the power supply of each control module that did not respond during the vehicle test.



1. Complete the test plan(s) until the problem is identified and corrected.



2. Delete the fault memory by selecting "Start quick delete" from the "Fault memory" screen.



3. If the "S0001 No communication possible" faults are still displayed, switch to the "Vehicle test" screen.



4. Highlight the control module not responding (yellow).



5. Select "Call up ECU functions".



6. Select "ECU test".



7. Once "ECU status:" changes to "ECU responding", the service fault code entry for that control module is deleted from the fault memory list, and



the control module status in the "Vehicle test" screen turns to green.



8. Continue this procedure for each control module that did not respond during the initial vehicle test.



This error will be corrected in ISTA/D 2.19.0.

SUBJECT



Fuel Level Sensor Repairs



MODEL



All Models



SITUATION



Where it is necessary to replace the right or the left-side fuel level sensor due to a failure, the entire pump and housing or delivery unit (suction jet



assembly) do not need to be replaced as well. In some cases, EPC does not show that the repair kit is available separately in the illustration, but it is



available in the parts description.



For example, the customer complains that the fuel gauge is inoperative. When diagnosed, the problem is found to be a defective right-side fuel level



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 260



sensor. Only the fuel level sensor should be replaced; there is no need to replace the entire fuel delivery module assembly. Refer to the applicable



Repair Instruction for complete details.



Fuel pump repair kits or delivery units (suction jet assemblies) should not be used to repair fuel level sensor concerns, and will not be covered under



the terms of the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

ISTA Test Plan Priority Error



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 261



MODEL



All



When diagnosing a vehicle using ISTA (Integrated Service Technical Application), fault code test plans are intended to be listed by "Priority".



However, the priority given to test plans by ISTA may not be reliable. This may lead to unnecessary diagnosis being performed.



When ISTA was introduced, the entire diagnostics from DIS was migrated over to ISTA. Until all of the diagnostic data has been revised within



ISTA, this type of error may occur.



Before starting diagnosis, the entire test schedule should be considered. Always use fault symptom diagnosis when available~ and use the customer



complaint as the basis for determining which test plan to start first.



Note:



With each ISTA release, the priority given in the test schedule will become more reliable.

Water Leaks from the RHT



MODEL



E93 (3 Series Convertible)



INFORMATION



The retractable hardtop (RHT) uses a complex sealing system which is sensitive to variation. As a result, if a water leak is present, it can be repaired



fairly easily, provided certain recommendations are followed. To aid in these repairs, two videos have been developed and should be reviewed prior



to performing diagnosis or repairs.



Video 1: Topics



This video focuses on water leaks from the area of the A-pillar and includes detail on how to:



^ Properly water test



^ Diagnose the root cause



^ Repair the leak



^ Adjust the window glass



Availability:



Currently available via the Interactive Career Pathway (ICP). This video can be found by searching for course code VO720, or by selecting the link



in the Technical Service Information section of the ICP homepage.



Video 2: Topics



This video addresses diagnosis and repair of leaks from the A-pillar, B-pillar, and C-pillar areas of the RHT.



Availability:



^ One copy of this video was sent to each BMW center in early November 2009.



^ A very limited number of DVDs is available through the parts department, should the one sent automatically be unavailable.



^ This video will be posted on ICP with a unique course code by the 1st quarter of 2010.



Important information



This video references an "impregnating fluid" which is unavailable in the US. As an alternative, BMW "Soft-Top Repellent" should be used.



The foam insert referenced in the video is available through the parts department. However, the insert from the old cowl seal may be reused if one



was present.



Tips and Recommendations



^ View both videos prior to the first repair of an E93 RHT water leak.



^ Check for applicable Service Information bulletins prior to performing repairs.



^ Symptom-based diagnosis via ISTA should be utilized during the diagnosis process.



^ Roof shell seals should not be replaced unless the bond is broken between the seal and the roof shell, or if it is physically damaged.



^ When replacing a roof shell seal, a similar part to what was originally installed should be used (pre- or post-2009), due to incompatibility of the 2



design levels.



^ When replacing a roof shell seal, the proper adhesive is referenced in SI B54 03 08, not in the Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC).



^ The roof shells and the frame itself are precisely adjusted during assembly and should not be adjusted in service to address water leak concerns.



^ Door windows must always be adjusted when replacing roof shell seals or when addressing water leaks from the A-pillar area, following the



Repair Instructions implicitly.

SUBJECT



Proper Evacuation and/or Filling of Cooling System after Repairs



MODEL



All



SITUATION



It can no longer be assured that all air is bled from a modern cooling system after it has been opened for repairs. This can result in poor performance



of the cooling system and also erratic operation of systems utilizing cooling system temperature values. A special tool has been developed that



ensures complete evacuation of all air in the system prior to filling, and also validates if the system is free of leaks prior to filling with coolant.



PROCEDURE



The Coolant Vacuum Charger tool P/N 81 39 2 152 470 (SI B04 34 08) must be used after completing major cooling systems repairs, or when the



cooling system is drained and needs to be refilled with fresh coolant. Repair instructions for operating the vacuum charge unit are in the attachment

Correction For Situation II



CORRECTION FOR SITUATION II



For E90, E92, E93, E60, E61, E82, E88, E89, and E71 vehicles where the customer complains of "Losing power when driving", fault codes



29DC/2FBF and/or 29F1/29F2 are stored in the DME with the SES illuminated; proceed as follows:



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 286



1. Use the current ISTA diagnosis software. Perform test module B1214_DI KDR (Fuel Pressure Control).



2. IMPORTANT: perform this step ONLY FOR E89 (Z4) vehicles (not equipped with the low fuel pressure system sensor):



Prior to execution of the High-pressure test module, install a calibrated manual fuel pressure gauge (e.g., P/N 83 30 0 491 260 pressure gauge from



the K-LJetronic special tool kit P/N 83 30 0 491 259), connected with the three-way adapter tool 135 270, into the low-pressure fuel supply line as



follows: #1. Three-way adapter tool (135 270) #2 - Pressure gauge P/N 83 30 0 491 260.



3. [NEW] Perform all applicable steps of the High-pressure Fuel test module B1214_DI KDR. Pay attention to all questions being displayed during



diagnosis and answer them correctly.



Important Note:



When comparing the measured fuel pressure with the engine running at idle speed, make sure to let the fuel pressure stabilize for approximately 60



seconds prior to the final reading. Otherwise, an implausible value (around 150 bars) is going to be entered into the test, resulting in inaccurate



diagnosis (defective high-pressure pump).



4. After completion of all diagnostic steps, end the test module and enter the "fault feedback" screen. Enter the result of a diagnosis process into the



DiagnosisCode dialog box and obtain a "Diagnostic Code". In case no failure can be currently detected in the high-pressure fuel system, enter the



last option "No fault found" into the dialog box. The obtained Diagnostic Code should be included in the comment section of the warranty claim.



IMPORTANT DIAGNOSTIC HINT:



In certain cases, the HDP fault may be reproduced only when the engine is under load. In order to replicate the complaint, it may be necessary to



road-test vehicle with the manual fuel pressure gauge installed. The excessive low-pressure fuel fluctuation (between 5.0 and 7.0 bars) would



indicate incorrect operation of the fuel delivery system.



5. For additional comprehensive N54 drivability diagnostic information, refer to the "N54 Engine Diagnostic Fault Tree" (the current version



"03_11_10" is attached to this bulletin).

FAQ



[New] Procedure (Client Advisor or Service Advisor)



[NEW] PROCEDURE (CLIENT ADVISOR OR SERVICE ADVISOR)



Identifying the scope of work:



1. Check the vehicle's eligibility status in the DCSnet service history. Document the following information:



^ "Assist Safety Plan expires" date



^ TCU ESN/TCU IMEI status:



"INACTIVE" or "ACTIVE"



2. Identify which TCU type is installed in the vehicle by referring to the model section in this bulletin.



^ CDMA: proceed to step 3.



^ GSM: proceed to step 10.



^ INACTIVE: If the customer previously declined or did not renew the BMW Assist services, or if a subscriber agreement was never processed or



received, BMW NA deactivates the wireless carrier and Response Center services.



^ ACTIVE: The TCU is still activated on the wireless carrier network. The "Assist Safety Plan expires" must be beyond today's date, and the TCU



must be active BMW Assist services to work.



^ The complete reactivation process must be followed for the services to work.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 308



3. On CDMA TCUs, verify the work that needs to be performed, using the chart below.



^ Important information on vehicles equipped with a CDMA TCU from 9/05 production, or if the TCU was replaced on a pre-9/05



production vehicle with newer hardware:



^ To comply with wireless service provider restrictions, when a BMW Assist account expires, BMW of North America, LLC must prevent the



Network Access Device (NAD) from registering on the wireless network. If a BMW Assist account has expired and the vehicle was produced



after 9/05 production, BMW may send the Power Off Command (POC) to the TCU. This means that the NAD will not turn on or register on the



network.



^ When a TCU receives the POC, the BMW workshop tools will not be able to communicate with the NAD. When the DIS/GT1 is unable to



communicate with the NAD, the tester will NOT display any information when trying to read the ESN, MIN or MDN. For vehicles which have



received the POC, an alternate test module must be used to turn the NAD back on.



4. Using the above time estimates, identify the scope of work that needs to be performed. Provide the customer with an estimate to reactivate BMW



Assist services.



5. If the customer wishes to reactivate BMW Assist services, he or she must complete a valid, active subscriber agreement with the BMW Assist



Response Center through the enrollment application on DCSnet, located at Sales | BMW Assist | Electronic Subscriber Agreement.



^ Incentives for renewing BMW Assist services: The BMW Assist incentive for selling term extensions is $20 per year of renewed service. For



additional information, please visit BMW/BMW Assist/Bulletins on Centernet and review Parts bulletin B84 07 06 (BMW Assist Enrollment



Sales Incentive Program).



6. Upon completion of an Electronic Subscriber Agreement (ESA), the TCU will be automatically reactivated with the wireless carrier. A new



Mobile Identification Number (MIN) and Mobile Device Number (MDN) will be automatically assigned within 20 minutes.



^ Wait 20 minutes before printing an updated DCSnet vehicle history report, so that the new numbers are displayed.



7. The MIN and MDN are displayed after the reactivation for 14 days. Print this page for the technician to complete the TCU reactivation process by



writing the numbers in to the TCU.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 309



8. If the MIN and MDN information is required outside this reactivation period, please call the Telematics Analyst to obtain this information prior to



having a technician complete the reactivation process.



A return call or fax from the Telematics Analyst with the new MIN and MDN will occur within three hours during business hours (8:30 AM to



4:30 PM EST). if the customer is waiting, fax the BMW Assist reactivation form and call the telematics Analyst to expedite the process.



9. Provide the technician a copy of the DCSnet service history report, showing the new MIN and MDN.



10. GSM: The Mobile Subscriber International Services Digital Network Number (MSISDN) is NOT needed during the reactivation process. If you



need the MSISDN or if the ICC-ID was not automatically reactivated, obtain this information by faxing the BMW Assist reactivation form. A return



call or fax from the Telematics Analyst with the new MSISDN will occur within three hours during business hours (8:30 AM to 4:30 PM EST). If



the customer is waiting, fax the BMW Assist reactivation form and call the Telematics Analyst to expedite the process.



11. On GSM TCUs, verify the work that needs to be performed using the below chart.



12. Using the above time estimates, identify the scope of work that needs to be performed. Provide the customer with an estimate to reactivate BMW



Assist services.



13. If the customer wishes to reactivate BMW Assist services, he or she must complete a valid, active subscriber agreement with the BMW Assist



Response Center through the enrollment application on DCSnet, located at Sales | BMW Assist | Electronic Subscriber Agreement.



^ Incentives for renewing BMW Assist services: The BMW Assist incentive for selling term extensions is $20 per year of renewed service. For



additional information, please visit BMW/BMW Assist/Bulletins on Centernet and review Parts bulletin B84 07 06 (BMW Assist Enrollment



Sales Incentive Program).



14. Upon completion of an Electronic Subscriber Agreement (ESA), the TCU will be automatically reactivated with the wireless carrier. A new



Mobile Subscriber International Services Digital Network Number (MSISDN) will be assigned to the International Circuit Card Identifier (ICCID).

As of September 2009 production, a new generation Tire Pressure Monitor System has been introduced for all 3 Series models. Although the basic



operation of the system is similar to the previous version, there are several key differences between the two systems.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 315



The new system consists of five components:



^ One central antennae with an integrated control module (5) mounted in the right rear wheel arch



^ Four wheel electronics (1-4) mounted at the base of each tire valve.



Central antennae with integrated control module



The control module and central antennae have been combined in a single housing. This new control module has the ability to send request for



information to each of the 4 wheel electronics via a low frequency single (125 kHz). This eliminates the need for separate transmitters, as used for



previous systems.



New style wheel electronics



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 316



The wheel electronics consist of plastic housing with integrated circuitry. The following items are contained within the wheel electronics:



^ Pressure sensor



^ Temperature sensor



^ Acceleration sensor



^ Transmitter/receiver unit



^ Self-diagnosis controller



^ Battery



The following points should be considered when diagnosing and/or servicing the system:



^ The system components are not interchangeable or compatible with previous versions.



^ The type of wheel electronic fitted can only be determined via visual inspection.



^ The detection of low tire pressure and the subsequent warning is similar to the previous design.



^ The reset procedure has changed.



Special Note for Reset Procedure



After initiating a reset, the vehicle must be driven for a period longer than 12 minutes with a vehicle speed which exceeds 19 mph (~30 km/h).

Cooling System - Long Term Coolant Service Information



SI B 17 01 07



Cooling Systems



June 2010



Technical Service



This Service Information bulletin supersedes SI B17 01 07 dated October 2007.

SUBJECT



BMW Long-term Antifreeze/Coolant: Maintenance, Repairs, and Replacement Requirements



MODEL



2003 E85 (Z4)



2004 and newer, all models



INFORMATION



The cooling systems for the BMW vehicles listed above must only be filled with a long-term ethylene glycol antifreeze/coolant solution containing



corrosion inhibitors that are compatible with aluminum components.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 320



Engine Antifreeze/Coolants for BMW vehicles have four basic functions:



^ Help provide sufficient cooling;



^ Help provide the cooling system with protection against winter freeze-ups and summer boilovers;



^ Protect various metals (gray cast iron, steel, aluminum alloys, brass, copper, and solder) against corrosion; and



^ Prevent excessive silicate gel precipitation, which may cause clogging of the cooling system.



[NEW] Coolant System Repairs



In conjunction with any major repairs where aluminum or metal cooling system components are replaced (e.g., radiator, cylinder head), drain and



completely replace the long-term antifreeze/coolant. These components require corrosion protection that is only available with new long-term



antifreeze/coolant.



For all other repairs involving the draining of partial quantities of coolant (e.g., thermostat replacement), replenish those drained quantities with new



long-term antifreeze/coolant. It is important, in order to maintain corrosion protection, not to reuse any drained coolant. Always recycle or properly



dispose of used engine coolant.



Initial Filling at the Factory and Refilling



The antifreeze concentration of the coolant installed at the factory is valid for all areas of the U.S. and Canadian markets. This should be checked



before the beginning of each winter for sufficient protection against freezing. An antifreeze tester is required to correctly determine the level of



antifreeze concentration.



[NEW] Refer to SI B17 01 06 and SI B17 01 10 (or REP 17 00 039) for more details on refilling the coolant system.



Diluted or Contaminated Long-term Antifreeze/Coolant



The corrosion inhibitors of long-term and short-term antifreeze/coolants do not work together, so it is not advisable to mix the two products.



Topping off a long-term antifreeze/coolant solution with a short-term antifreeze/coolant solution dilutes the level of corrosion protection. In an



emergency situation, when long-term antifreeze is not available, top off with water until a long-term antifreeze/coolant is obtained. Since adding



water will dilute the level of antifreeze protection, always remember to check and adjust the antifreeze concentration as necessary after such



situations.



The color of BMW Long-term Antifreeze/Coolant is blue; however, the colors of other locally available long and short-term coolants vary. These



colors include green, orange, pink, red, or yellow. Mixing BMW Long-term Antifreeze/Coolant with these different colors and types of



antifreeze/coolants can result in a discolored solution in the cooling system. If a discolored antifreeze/coolant solution is found in the cooling system,



determine the cause, repair the vehicle as needed, and, if necessary, replace the antifreeze/coolant completely to ensure adequate corrosion



protection.



BMW Long-term Antifreeze/Coolant Chemistry



Long-term antifreeze/coolants utilize Organic Acid Technology (OAT). OAT-type antifreeze/coolant solutions use organic acid salts in place of the



inorganic corrosion inhibitor additives found in traditional short-term antifreeze/coolants. OAT-type corrosion inhibitors are slower-acting, last



longer, and provide excellent long-term corrosion protection for various coolant system aluminum and metal components, along with no required



change interval.



BMW's Long-term Antifreeze/Coolant (82 14 1 467 704) is a Hybrid OAT (HOAT) solution, since it also has added silicates to provide quick-acting



protection for aluminum surfaces. Silicates help repair surface erosion caused by cavitation in the water pump.



BMW's Long-term Antifreeze/Coolant does not contain nitrites or phosphates and has been formulated to prevent excessive silicate gel precipitation,



significantly reducing the possibility of harmful deposit formation.



BMW Antifreeze/Coolant Maintenance Summary



BMW's Long-term Antifreeze/Coolant can be used for all model years; however, its use does not eliminate or supercede a stated change interval.



Always maintain the antifreeze/coolant in accordance with the cooling system maintenance requirements outlined in the corresponding vehicle's



Service and Warranty Information Booklet.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 321



The summary above details the BMW conversion, by model year (MY) and model, to a long-term antifreeze/coolant solution.

SUBJECT



Condition Based Service



MODEL



[NEW] All models with Condition Based Service



SITUATION



This information is intended to provide a general system overview of Condition Based Service (CBS), which is an advanced development of the



previous Service Interval Indicator systems.



CBS measures, monitors and determines the required maintenance of several service items independently of each other. This technology prompts the



customer to bring the vehicle in for service whenever one of the CBS items requires maintenance or replacement. CBS strikes a compromise between



too frequent maintenance intervals and too rigid service intervals that call for the replacement of service items that may still have substantial



remaining useful life. CBS also details the recommended, due, and overdue required maintenance during and after the BMW Vehicle Maintenance



Program Agreement.



[NEW] For details of CBS service items and maintenance intervals, refer to the vehicle and model year specific Service Information bulletins



entitled "New Vehicle Preparation and Maintenance Requirements" located in Group 00 or the relevant Owner's Manual.



SERVICE RECOGNITION



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 322



The vehicle recognizes when a service is required using the following three methods:



A. Adaptive, using sensor technology and algorithms to determine the required maintenance of a service item depending upon the individual



customer driving style. For example:



^ Oil change is determined from the engine oil condition sensor which monitors the oil condition, oil level, and oil temperature, and from



additional algorithms using these parameters: engine load, fuel consumption, time and distance since the last oil change.



^ [NEW] Microfilter replacement (dependent on vehicle model and CBS version).



^ Replacements of front and rear brake pads are determined from 2-stage brake lining wear sensors located on the left front and right rear brake



pads, and from residual wear algorithms using these input parameters: travel distance, wheel speed, braking pressure, braking time, and



braking frequency.



B. Fixed Time (months) to determine the required maintenance of a service item. For example:



^ Brake Fluid and Engine Coolant changes.



^ State Safety and Emissions Inspections.



C. Fixed Distance (miles) to determine the required maintenance of a service item. For example:



^ Vehicle Check.



^ [NEW] Spark plug replacement (dependent on vehicle model and CBS version)



^ [NEW] State Safety and Emissions inspections



D. [NEW] Connected to Oil Service, based on which oil service being performed. For example:



^ Spark plug replacement (dependent on vehicle model and CBS version)



^ Air filter



^ Automatic transmission fluid



^ Microfilter replacement (dependent on vehicle model and CBS version)



[NEW] SERVICE INDICATION (EXCEPT E65 AND E66)



The service indicators are displayed in two possible locations inside the vehicle:



1. Instrument Cluster



The Instrument Cluster CBS display uses two separate displays:



^ A colored symbol in the center upper display:



^ Orange for normal



^ Yellow for service due



^ Red for service overdue

N54 - Misfire Faults, Diagnosis with ISTA D



MODEL



All with N54 engine



SITUATION I



The Service Engine Soon lamp is illuminated with various misfire fault codes (e.g., 29CC, 29D2, 29D1, 29D0, 29C0, 29CF) stored in the DME



control module.



When executing the misfire test plan B1214_DI6MISFIRE2 (using ISTA D 2.19 or 2.20), the procedure instructs the technician to replace the



complete set of piezo injectors, even in situations when only the single misfire fault is stored in the individual cylinder, and the vehicle is already



equipped with the latest improved version of the injectors (P/N 13 53 7 585 261). The Diagnostic Code D1350_00000000_01_013 is provided at the



end of the test plan.



CAUSE



Error in the B1214_DI6MISFIRE2 test plan in ISTA D 2.19 and 2.20



CORRECTION



Do not follow the recommendation of the test plan to replace a complete set of the injectors (unless, in a very unlikely situation, the affected vehicle



is equipped with the earliest version injectors, P/N 13 53 7 537 317).



[NEW] NOTE:



[NEW] The Misfire Test plan has been corrected with ISTA/D 2.21. Make sure the latest version (2.21 or higher) is being used when diagnosing



N54 drivability complaints.



For comprehensive N54 drivability misfire diagnosis, always refer to the "N54 Engine Diagnostic Fault Tree" file (the current version [NEW]



"06_04_10" is attached).



SITUATION II



The Service Engine Soon lamp is illuminated and a single, individual cylinder misfire fault is stored in the DME. The affected vehicle's integration



level has been checked and corrected if needed (per SI B12 05 09 and SI B12 06 09), and the latest version of the piezo injectors (P/N 13 53 7 585



261) is already installed.



CAUSE



Deviation between adaptation tolerances of the individual injector and a cylinder



CORRECTION



Swap the affected injector with the one from another bank (e.g., misfiring cylinder 1 injector swap with the injector from cylinder 6).



Replace the Teflon seal (P/N 13 53 7 57 550) before injector installation (refer to SI B13 06 06 and REP 13 53 310 for detailed instructions).



After the injector replacement, perform individual injector calibration (adjustment) with the DME control module per SI B12 26 08, using test plan



S1214_DI6IAG "Injector volume calibration".



Finally, clear the DME adaption values, using test plan B1214_NG6AWZS "Deleting engine adaptation values" found in Service Functions.



Readapting the DME by means of a short test drive is recommended:



^ Bring the engine to the normal operating temperature.



^ Drive the vehicle at a speed of between 50-60 mph and engine speeds of 2,000-3,000 rpm for approximately 3 minutes (use manual gear shifting,



if needed).



^ Let the engine idle for approximately 5 minutes.

Starting from April 1, 2005, all eligible vehicles processed at the Vehicle Processing Centers have BMW Assist already initialized before they reach



your BMW center. Therefore it is no longer necessary to perform this procedure during the QC1 on these vehicles. However, initialization will still



be necessary in cases with the following scenarios:



^ If the TCU is replaced on any vehicle (except pre-3/05 production E65 and E66 vehicles);



^ E65, E66, E90, and E91 vehicles from 3/05 to 8/05 production if the TCU is programmed;



^ E60, E61, E63, and E64 vehicles from 7/03 to 8/05 production if the TCU is programmed;



^ If BMW Assist services are reactivated (except pre-3/05 production E65 and E66 vehicles); and E70 (X5) vehicles not delivered with BMW



Assist services initialized.



E70 (X5) vehicles built prior to 4/2/2007 production may have been delivered to your center without the BMW Assist services initialized. All E70



(X5) vehicles built prior to 4/2/2007 production must have the status of BMW Assist initialization checked as part of the Quality Certification (QC1)



on all E70 vehicles. Refer to SI B84 63 06 for additional information.



Note:



All X5 vehicles produced after April 2, 2007 have BMW Assist initialized at the plant. It is NOT necessary to check the status of BMW Assist on



any X5 produced after April 2, 2007.

2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 351



TROUBLESHOOTING



1. If the initialization procedure has been successfully completed, but the transmitted data is different than the data on file at the BMW Assist



Response Center:



^ CDMA: Obtain the Mobile Identification Number (MIN), Mobile Device Number (MDN) and Electronic Serial Number (ESN). Refer to the



"Obtaining ESN, MIN and MDN or IMEI and ICC-ID " section of this bulletin for the procedure.



^ Contact BMW Assist by calling. The BMW Assist Customer Care representative will reconcile the transmitted data against the data on file.



Please wait one hour before attempting re-initialization.



^ GSM: Obtain the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) and the Integrated Circuit Card ID (ICC-ID). Refer to the "Obtaining ESN,



MIN and MDN or IMEI and ICC-ID " section of this bulletin for the procedure.



^ Contact BMW Assist by calling. The BMW Assist Customer Care representative will reconcile the transmitted data against the data on file.



Please wait one hour before attempting re-initialization.



2. If the initialization procedure has failed and the message "Data transmission fault, Call Customer Relations" is displayed, check and perform the



following:



^ Turn the ignition off for 16 minutes and allow the vehicle to enter sleep mode. Then turn the ignition on and try initializing BMW Assist services



again.



^ Note: If the vehicle is equipped with an optional CPT9000 handset or a snap-in adaptor for a Bluetooth(R) handset, remove the handset from



the cradle.



^ Ensure that the vehicle has been parked outside, with the key on, and has an unobstructed line of sight to the sky in order to receive a proper GPS



signal. GPS signal acquisition may take up to 5 minutes.



^ The ability to view the signal strength of the BMW Assist Network Access Device (NAD), either in the radio or Central Information Display



(CID), was eliminated on vehicles from 09/05 production. Refer to SI B84 05 07 (Checking NAD Signal Strength for BMW Assist). If necessary,



drive the vehicle to a location with adequate cellular reception.



^ If all the above items are OK, try parking the vehicle in a different location. Let the vehicle enter sleep mode and repeat the initialization



procedure.



^ If the procedure still fails, the problem may be that the BMW Assist coding bit in the Telematics Control Module (TCU) is not correct. Code the



TCU using the latest version of Progman. Then repeat the initialization procedure.



^ If the procedure still fails, use DIS/GT1 to enter the TCU "Control Module Functions"; select "Component Activation" and select "Control Unit



reset". Make sure the results screen shows the reset procedure as being activated. Turn the vehicle off for 16 minutes and let the vehicle enter



sleep mode. Repeat the initialization procedure.



^ If the procedure still fails, using BMW Diagnostic Tools obtain the information below:

SUBJECT



Enabling Codes



MODEL



All



SITUATION



Enabling Codes are needed for certain module replacements, retrofits, crashed modules or during the QC1 Pre-Delivery Check. This bulletin gives a



general overview of Enabling Codes, which parts are affected, and how to load and activate Enabling Codes.



WHAT ARE FSC ENABLING CODES?



The abbreviation FSC stands for Freischaltcode, which is the German translation for Enabling Code. These codes are used to enable hardware or



software in our vehicles to protect unauthorized access to various vehicle functions. These codes are ordered via the EPC and delivered through the



Sweeping Technology system, SWT.



WHY DO WE NEED ENABLING CODES?



Hardware activation:



With the introduction of the Night Vision System in March 2006, Enabling Codes were first used in a BMW vehicle to activate the components



(Camera and control module) in the vehicle. These codes are the result of a legal requirement, because of strict conditions applying to the use of this



Night Vision technology. With Enabling Codes, BMW could ensure that the system can only be used in the registered vehicle.



Software activation:



Enabling Codes allow BMW to develop new business models like software as a product. This means that the hardware functionality is already in the



vehicle, but is not usable by the customer until he or she purchases and enters the Enabling Code into the vehicle. The first use of the software



Enabling Codes was in the CCC (Car Communication Computer) in March 2007. Enabling Codes protected the speech recognition software within



the CCC.



WHICH SYSTEMS OR CONTROL MODULES REQUIRE ENABLING CODES

Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Quality Detection with ISTA D



MODEL



All with the N52K engine



[NEW] All with the N54 engine from 03/08 production



E90, E70 X5 with M57Y engine



INFORMATION I



[NEW] With the release of ISTA D 2.19, it is possible to perform a gasoline quality determination on N52K-equipped vehicles and on some



N54-equipped vehicles by using the test plan S1214_NGKQE "Fuel Quality Detection".



[NEW] Note:



The "Fuel Quality Detection" test plan will work on N54 vehicles equipped with MSD81 DME (from 03/08 production) and programmed to the



integration level 09-12-501 or higher.



This test plan can be accessed by selecting the path: Service Function; Drive; Engine Electronics; Read Measure Values; Fuel quality.



The gasoline octane number (AKI) evaluation is based on the knock sensor's adaptation values and is displayed in three quality levels (low, medium



and high), corresponding to the octane ratings of commercially available fuels.



Lower octane fuels may cause reduced engine performance, lower fuel economy and increased engine noise level (pre-ignition knocking).



The "Fuel Quality Detection" test provides a total record of fuel grades (knock resistance) used during the vehicle's service, as well as octane number



evaluation for the last five full fuel tanks (with recorded mileage for each refueling).



In the near future, a similar test plan will be available for other engine (DME) variants.



INFORMATION II



With the release of ISTA D 2.19 and ISTA/P 2.37.0, the diesel fuel cetane number can be evaluated on E90 and E70 M57Y-equipped vehicles by



using the test plan B1365_D7USQUAL-DDE 7.3 M57 "Fuel Quality Output".



This test plan can be found by selecting the path: Service Function; Drive; Diesel Electronics (US version); Read Measure Values; Fuel quality.



The cetane number measures how readily the diesel fuel starts to burn under high compression conditions. Fuel with a lower cetane number may



decrease engine starting performance; reduce smoothness of operation; and increase smoke emissions and noise level.



The "Fuel Quality Output" test plan provides a counter reading of three fuel grades (poor, moderate and good), which corresponds to the frequency



of use. The quality reading counter can be reset after the test plan is performed, or will be set to 0 after the DDE reprogramming.

All vehicles equipped with option 663 (Radio Professional, RAD2)



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 369



SITUATION



[NEW] When programming a RAD2-equipped vehicle produced from 03/10 on (and earlier produced vehicles with a RAD2 replacement part



manufactured from 03/10) with ISTA/P 2.37.1 or later, a message is displayed: "During control module determination, it was ascertained that control



modules connected to the MOST ring are not responding", followed by a second message that begins "The gateway GW is likely to be defective



......" The user is then asked to perform a gateway repair. After following the on-screen instructions, the measures plan directs to replace all MOST



control modules.



CAUSE



[NEW] The RAD2 GW locks up during identification with ISTA/P 2.37.1 or later, causing no communication on the MOST ring.



[NEW] PROCEDURE



To avoid the situation above, perform the following steps:



^ Only connect an ICOM-A to the vehicle (do not connect an ICOM-B).



^ Ignore the message that tells you that the MOST bus is not connected by selecting the OK button (see attachment).



^ Determine the measures plan.



Depending on the situation, follow 1) or 2) below:



1. The measures plan shows that MOST modules have to be programmed (see attachment):



^ Hook up the ICOM-B and wait until you have 2 green lights on ICOM-B. Then accept the measures plan. Programming will go through.



2. The measures plan shows no MOST modules:



^ Accept the measures plan and programming will go through (do not connect the ICOM-B).

SITUATION



The navigation system is inoperative unless the map is enabled during the QC1 Pre-Delivery Check.



[NEW] INFORMATION



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 372



New vehicles come equipped with a navigation road map (PREMIUM 2010) that must be enabled via an enabling code (FSC). This process is part



of the new QC1 Pre-Delivery Check performed with the ISID (ISTA Diagnosis).



IMPORTANT:



There is no programming involved!



[NEW] PROCEDURE



Enabling the navigation map at QC1 requires the use of an "INITIAL" enabling code.



Note:



In order to avoid unnecessary delays in the QC1 process, order this "INITIAL" enabling code at least 24 hours before performing QC1. This code is



valid for 30 days, after which it is automatically deleted. Unlike other enabling codes, these "INITIAL" codes are available free of charge from the



Parts department (nominal charge $.01). The part number for the "INITIAL" enabling code is published in the EPC. It must be ordered as a coded



part via the parts ordering process.



The delivery of the enabling code takes place in the After Sales Assistance Portal (ASAP).



Note:



If a BMW center has two dealer numbers, when retrieving the enabling code, be sure to use the same dealer number that your Parts department used



when the original order was placed.



Procedure for ordering and downloading the initial enabling code:



Refer to attachment A.



Procedure for activation of the navigation system map using ISTA:



Refer to attachment B.



For a general overview on the enabling code ordering and downloading process, refer to SI B09 04 09.



PARTS INFORMATION



WARRANTY INFORMATION



Since this process is part of the new QC1 Pre-Delivery Check, no additional warranty costs can be claimed.

Technical Service



SUBJECT



Intensity of the IHKA Auto Mode Program



MODEL



E82, E88 (1 Series)



E9x (3 Series)



Vehicles produced from 8/10/09



SITUATION



The intensity of the air flow from the integrated automatic heating and air conditioning control panel (IHKA) is too strong or too weak in "Auto"



mode.



CAUSE



The customer is not familiar with the new IHKA control panel. There is no fault with the IHKA system.



A new IHKA control panel was introduced on vehicles from the 2010 model year that included a new setting; this gives control over the air intensity



in "Auto" mode. At the same time, the display operation was changed to display either "fan speed" in "Manual" mode, or "intensity" in "Auto"



mode.



Customers are not aware that they should use the fan speed buttons when in "Auto" mode to set the air flow to their liking.



Instruct the customer about the intensity of the Auto program function styles in the control panel of the IHKA system. Point out the section in the



Owner's Manual that deals with this feature.

SITUATION



There may be some confusion as to the operation of the "one touch memory function", when requesting a saved seat position. In most cases the



operation is normal. This service information bulletin will clarify the normal operation below.



INFORMATION



When using the seat memory, there are two options for requesting a successfully saved seat position from the vehicle, depending on the operating



mode.



1. With the vehicle unlocked and terminal 15 off, press the desired memory button once, briefly. The seat moves to the stored position. This is



considered the "one-touch function".



2. With the vehicle unlocked and terminal 15 on (ignition on or while driving): the desired memory button must be pressed and held until the seat



moves to final stored position. Under all circumstances, avoid moving the seat to a position which is uncomfortable for the driver while the vehicle is



in motion. This situation does not allow the "one-touch function".

SUBJECT



Light Bulb Replacement - Incandescent and Halogen Light Bulbs



MODEL



ALL excluding Xenon light bulbs and light-emitting diodes (LEDs)



[NEW] SITUATION



Functional testing of incandescent and halogen light bulbs replaced under warranty and returned to the Warranty Parts Return Center (WPRC) along



with the analysis of light bulb claim data shows that some of these light bulbs are:



^ Being replaced unnecessarily;



^ Incorrectly handled during a previous repair or replacement; or



^ Not replaced, as a set, when they should have been



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 416



This can result with unnecessary additional warranty costs, service visits and reduced customer satisfaction.



Note:



The situation above does not apply to Xenon bulbs that may only be replaced as instructed after running the corresponding ISTA test plan.



[NEW] PROCEDURE



When replacing incandescent and halogen light bulbs, always follow the guidelines listed below:



1. Before replacing these light bulbs, confirm that they are defective (most times a broken filament can be seen visually). If there is no visual



confirmation, test the bulb using a multimeter or 12-volt power supply with a suitable bulb holder to confirm that the bulb is defective.



2. A failed light bulb with distinctly "blackened" glass indicates a failure. In situations where the failed vehicle bulb as a "twin" with the same



function (for example, left and right parking lights), replace the other bulb as well if it also found to be "blackened" in the same way.



3. Only replace light bulbs when the lighting system is switched off or when the vehicle is powered down.



4. Do not touch any bulb glass directly with your fingers - this will cause local overheating spots and premature bulb failure. The best practice is to



hold the bulb using a clean cloth or while wearing clean gloves. Clean off any dirty bulbs as necessary.



5. Before installing the replacement light bulb, check the bulb holder contacts for traces of oxidation and clean if necessary. Check for adequate



contact force.



6. In cases where a vehicle has had repeated light bulb failures, check the wiring system supply voltage using ISTA diagnosis.



7. Use only genuine BMW replacement light bulbs sourced through the BMW NA Parts department to help avoid bulb compatibility issues.



[NEW] WARRANTY INFORMATION



For information only



The bulb replacement reason including the applicable guidelines listed above must be stated on the repair order and in the corresponding claim



comment section.



Please follow the standard warranty parts documentation and retention procedures for all bulb replacement repairs.

Fuel System - BMW Group Fuel System Cleaner Plus Info.



SI B 13 05 06



Fuel System



August 2010



Technical Service



This Service Information bulletin supersedes SI B13 05 06 dated September 2006.



[NEW] designates changes to this revision



SUBJECT



BMW Group Fuel System Cleaner Plus



MODEL



All



SITUATION



Recent field experiences have shown a significant increase in various drivability complaints due to excessive carbon deposits in engines combustion



chambers on the intake valves and fuel injectors.



The overall rise in carbon deposit accumulation is generally attributed to poor gasoline quality; namely, a low level of cleaning additives and fuel



contamination.



TECHNICAL BACKGROUND



Combustion chamber deposit formation is a by-product of the gasoline burning process. Fuel injector and intake valve deposits may become less



troublesome with the recently introduced Top Tier Detergent Gasoline deposit control standards, which are exceeding the detergent requirements



imposed by the EPA in 1995.



However, vehicles that do not exclusively use a Top Tier Detergent Gasoline or are regularly driven under severe conditions, such as stop-and-go



traffic, high ambient temperatures and high altitude, can experience performance problems caused by intake system and combustion chamber



deposits.



The most common customer complaints may include:



FUEL INJECTORS



Deposits at the injector's tip can impact fuel flow, upsetting the air/fuel mixture ratio.



Symptoms:



^ Hesitation or stumble during acceleration or even loss of power



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 422



^ Poor fuel efficiency



^ Increased emissions of HC and CO



^ "Service Engine Soon" lamp illumination due to intermittent misfire faults or lean mixture adaptation values.



INTAKE VALVES:



Deposits at the valves and on the intake manifold ports can absorb fuel during the warm-up phase, leaning out the air/fuel mixture ratio. Carbon



buildup may disturb mixture flow at low throttle conditions/idle speeds.



Symptoms:



^ Poor drivability



^ Loss of power



^ Unstable/rough idle



^ Increased emissions of HC, CO and NOx



^ "Service Engine Soon" lamp illumination due to intermittent misfire faults.



COMBUSTION CHAMBER:



Combustion Chamber Deposit Interference, or CCDI, occurs when there is contact between carbon deposits on the piston crown and cylinder head.



The noise can be confused or misdiagnosed as ping, knock or other noises that could indicate a mechanical failure. CCDI occurs first as a cold start



noise that can fade as the engine warms to operating temperature. The noise will reoccur at the next cold start. As deposits build, there is an increase



in compression temperature that may cause pre-ignition detonations.



Symptoms:



^ Knocking



^ Pinging



^ Run-on



^ Poor acceleration



^ Octane requirement increase



^ Increased emissions of NOx



^ Engine idle speed surges.



Depending on the manufacturer, fuels may contain various additives such as: oxidation and corrosion inhibitors, metal deactivators, emulsifiers,



anti-icing agents and dyes. They are also required to include some form of an intake system deposit control package. Unfortunately, not all fuels are



created equal, and some additive packages are not effective enough to maintain integrity of the intake systems in high performance engines, or



engines operating under severe environmental conditions. Even worse, the intake system deposit control additives in some fuels may actually



contribute to the combustion chamber deposit accumulation and to the problems associated with those deposits: knock, run-on and increased



emissions of oxides of nitrogen.



RECOMMENDATION



BMW recommends using TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline with a minimum octane rating of AKI 91 and with alcohol content of less then 10% by



volume (or any other oxygenates with up to 2.8% of oxygen by weight). Only the exclusive use of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline provides the full



benefit of reducing deposit formation. For more information related to TOP TIER Gasoline, refer to SI B13 02 06.



If the TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is unavailable, we recommend that BMW Group Fuel System Cleaner Plus (P/N 82 14 0 413 341) be added to



the gas tank. For optimum cleaning and deposit control, add a 20 fl. oz. bottle every 3,000 miles when refueling.



Regular use of BMW Group Fuel System Cleaner Plus can help address carbon deposits related to the symptoms listed above. By removing these



deposits, an engine may experience restored power, performance and fuel efficiency; a smoother idle running; lower emissions; and reduced octane



requirement.



BMW Group Fuel System Cleaner Plus uses polyether amine TECHRONreg;-based technology developed and patented by Chevron. BMW Group



Fuel System Cleaner Plus has proven to clean up deposits in fuel injectors, ports and intake valves, and reduces the harmful effects of combustion



chamber deposits. It helps restore performance lost due to deposit buildup.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 423



Chevron and BMW have run extensive "no harm" tests with polyether amine technology. When used as directed, it will not harm catalytic converters



, oxygen sensors, or any other mechanical components of the engine or fuel delivery system.



The effectiveness of the additive depends on its presence in the gasoline in large concentrations for short periods of time. One treatment is usually



sufficient, but a second treatment (one 20 oz. bottle per each consecutive full tank of gas) may give additional benefits. To keep your fuel intake



system clean, we recommend usage at every 3,000 miles.



Additionally, the vehicle's fuel sending units, equipped with silver-plated resistor card/contacts, are especially vulnerable to attacks by the elemental



sulfur and/or hydrogen sulfide found in fuels. Adding BMW Group Fuel System Cleaner Plus immediately upon noticing erratic fuel gauge behavior



may, in many cases, restore proper performance due to the additive's ability to remove the harmful sulfur compounds from the sending unit's contact



surface. Additionally, BMW Group Fuel System Cleaner Plus can help protect the fuel gauge from future malfunctioning by coating all metal



surfaces of the fuel system.



BMW Group Fuel System Cleaner Plus.



P/N 82 14 0 413 341



1 bottle, 20 fl. oz.



Order in multiples of 6 bottles per case.



[NEW] Note:



BMW Group Fuel System Cleaner Plus is the only BMW approved in-tank additive. Using non-approved fluids or tools can lead to premature



component failure and will not be covered under Warranty.



PARTS INFORMATION



WARRANTY INFORMATION



[NEW] Because carbon deposit buildup is related to fuel quality, it cannot be considered as a defect in the vehicle's materials or workmanship.



Consequently, usage of BMW Group Fuel System Cleaner Plus is not covered under the terms of the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty,



maintenance plan or the Certified Pre-Owned program.

Technical Service



SUBJECT



Diagnosis Tips - Integrated Universal Remote Control (UGDO)



MODEL



All with option code 319 (Universal garage door opener)



SITUATION



The Integrated Universal Remote Control (UGDO) is located in the interior mirror and is typically used for controlling garage door openers.



Most interior mirrors replaced for UGDO complaints are without fault when tested. This Service Information provides diagnostic tips in order to



avoid unnecessary mirror replacement.



INFORMATION



Information on the HomeLink(R) UGDO can be found at www.homelink.com/home.php. Direct the customer to this excellent resource if diagnosis



at the dealership indicates that the UGDO is working correctly and the customer needs additional programming assistance. Additional UGDO



information can be found in the vehicle Owner's Manual.



Programming problems:



Request that the customer bring in the hand-held remote control transmitter (remote) that is causing difficulty, together with any other remotes that



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 426



the customer uses. If necessary, the UGDO can be reprogrammed using these remotes. For rolling code devices, the customer will need to train the



UGDO upon returning home (see item 5 below).



NOTE:



If the customer has a regular full-size remote as well as a smaller (key ring) remote, only the full-size remote should be used for the programming



procedure.



With the vehicle ignition turned to the "on" position, check the status of the UGDO by pressing each of the programming buttons. Note that the



UGDO is "off" if the vehicle ignition is "off".



1. Each button should illuminate the LED in some way (steady on or flashing). This indicates a fully functional UGDO.



^ If no LED illuminates, possible causes are:



^ Ignition not switched on



^ No power or ground



^ Faulty mirror



^ If one button illuminates the LED, but any one or two buttons do not, the mirror is faulty.



2. If any button illuminates with a slow flashing LED, the memory is empty; the button has not been programmed.



^ Check the batteries in the customer remote control and replace if necessary.



^ Refer to the attachment from step 2 to program the UGDO.



3. If every button illuminates with a steady "on" LED, most likely the customer has not cleared the factory setting. Attentively, the customer has



programmed each button with a fixed code. (Check with the customer.)



^ Refer to the attachment from step 1 to delete the stored memories and program the UGDO.



4. If any button illuminates with a steady "on" LED, the button has been programmed with a fixed code.



^ Check that the correct remote is being used.



^ The garage door may have a range problem.



5. If any button illuminates with a rapid flashing LED, followed after 2 seconds by a steady "on" LED, the button has been programmed with a



rolling code. However, the training mode for the rolling code may not have been successfully completed.



^ Provide the attachment to the customer and refer the customer to steps 5 - 7. Direct the customer to the instructional videos on the HomeLink(R)



website, www.homelink.com/program.php..



Range problems:



1. Advise the customer that the UGDO range is less than the original hand-held remote's range. A range of less than 50% of the original remote's



range should be investigated as a vehicle/interior mirror problem.



2. If the UGDO and the original remote both have reduced range, the UGDO is not at fault. The customer should check the garage door opener;



possibly, the antenna wire is not properly extended.

3. Diagnose any JBL faults stored in the vehicle by completing the corresponding test plans.



As applicable, continue with the following steps (based on production date).



4. On all vehicles, a temporary solution was announced with the original version of this bulletin in May 2011. The solution was to install a relay



conversion kit (51 33 7 308 822) to the JBE connector until the software solution was developed.



Now that the software solution has been introduced, the conversion kit is no longer compatible with the latest software.



Check if the kit was previously installed. To confirm if the kit was previously installed, run a DCS inquiry and search for the Defect Code (61 30



30 12 00) with P/N 51 33 7 308 822.



Remove the passenger side A-pillar footwell trim panel and check for the two relays that are wired to the JBE connector.



Note:



If the conversion kit was installed, the complete relay kit with wiring must be removed.



The JBE connector wiring must be restored to its original pin locations before any reprogramming is performed.



At the same time, check which JBE version (1, 2, or 3) is installed in the vehicle (see step 5).



Refer to the attachment, which has been revised to remove the relay kit and wiring. Use this attachment to restore the wiring to its



factory-original pin locations.



If a conversion kit was previously installed, submit a PuMA case to request the HO word "+FHRC" be removed from the vehicle order (VO),



and then continue with the procedure.



5. To identify the JBE version (1, 2, or 3) installed in the vehicle, you must remove the JBE and visually check the label on the JBE. The picture



below shows a JBE 2.

SUBJECT



Battery Maintenance Requirements



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 452



MODEL



All (new and used vehicles in BMW center inventory



[NEW] SITUATION



Proper battery maintenance is vital when BMW vehicles are in your centers inventory. Allowing a vehicles battery voltage to drop below 12.0 volts



(12.0V) permanently reduces the battery life expectancy and can lead to premature failure of the battery.



We provide a flexible battery maintenance system every BMW center can use in accordance with their particular needs. This bulletin explains the



2013 Battery Charging calendar and charging systems.



PROCEDURE FOR 12V BATTERY SYSTEMS (INCL. 12 VOLT SYSTEMS IN HYBRID VEHICLES)



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 453



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 454



Upon receipt of a new vehicle, remove the battery log form (see above) from the glove compartment and complete section "A". Check the voltage of



the 12V battery and recharge if less than 12.5V or 71% SoC (State of Charge).



The maintenance tracking system provides for 3 distinct options:



1. The vehicle goes into storage (back lot), or in a new vehicle display (not in the showroom)



^ The battery main disconnect switch has been removed; and



^ The vehicle may or may not be in Transport Mode.



A four-week charging cycle and calendar have been established for these cases.



The vehicle arrives, marked with a color-coded round sticker on the windshield. The respective color (one out of four possible colors)



designates that the vehicles battery voltage must be checked in accordance with the new calendar on a four-week cycle.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 455



Recharge any time the battery voltage is less than 12.5V or 71% SoC.



Each time a battery is checked, record the voltage in section "B" of the BATTERY LOG FORM.



2. The vehicle goes into the showroom, or a similar display area



^ The electrical system is "Customer ready"; and



^ The battery main disconnect switch has been removed; and



^ The vehicle has been taken out of Transport Mode using the BMW Diagnosis System.



When in the showroom display, energy consumption is frequent and unpredictable because of the showroom traffic. A four-week charging



cycle will not suffice, due to the increased current draw imposed on the battery. This is because of frequent usage of the vehicles electrical



components (demonstrations, product familiarization, etc.).



To ensure the battery charge is maintained, connect the battery via the underhood charging terminals to a suitable power supply (SI B04 23



10 and B04 21 09).



If the showroom vehicle battery needs to be disconnected due to state regulations, check the battery voltage on a regular basis to ensure the



state of charge is maintained above 12.5V or 71% SoC. Record when the battery is recharged in section "C" of the BATTERY LOG



FORM.



Note 1: For those BMW centers which have established their own working battery maintenance procedure which fulfills BMW guidelines,



Section C can be used to track the charging of those vehicles.



[NEW] For BMW ActiveHybrid vehicles: Refer to SI B61 37 12 for special High-voltage Battery care instructions when using an external



12 volt battery charger.



3. The battery draw has been minimized for storage purposes



^ Either the battery main disconnect switch remains on the vehicle in the "OFF" position; or



^ The vehicle battery has been disconnected.



With the battery draw minimized, a 12-week charging cycle can be followed. Use section "D" of the BATTERY LOG FORM to document



when the charging has been performed.



The columns on the form are identified by the colors white, red and green of the 12-week charging calendar, designating the months when



the vehicles are to be charged. The windshield labels can also be used to track these vehicles, with the exception of the 4th color, yellow.



Therefore, vehicles received with a yellow label will need to be reassigned another color.



The 12 week charging cycle requires the battery to be recharged at every check.



IMPORTANT:



Use a calibrated fluke 87 multimeter or similar device to measure battery voltage.



On vehicles equipped with maintenance-free batteries (with integrated hydrometer - "Magic Eye"), under certain circumstances (vehicle



parked for an extensive period of time) due to electrolyte density stratification inside the battery, the internal hydrometer ("Magic Eye") may



remain black after recharging, even though the battery tester shows it to be fully charged. Such batteries are fully serviceable.



Replace the battery if the battery acid level is too low (Magic Eye light yellow).



Since BMW uses only maintenance-free or AGM batteries, DO NOT ADD DISTILLED WATER!



If, at any time, the battery open circuit voltage should drop below 12.0V, or a battery replacement is indicated during the CBS handover



inspection, perform Energy Diagnosis (refer to SI B61 13 05) to determine the cause. Any necessary repairs should be carried out and the



battery MUST BE REPLACED. The replacement battery must be registered using the service function in the diagnosis equipment.



Dispose of all batteries properly, observing legal regulations.



Charging Procedure:



Battery charging must be performed using an approved battery charger (recommended charging voltage 14.8V). Refer to SI B04 21 09 and



B04 23 10 for recommended chargers.



For an optimized charging procedure, the ambient temperature should be between 60°F and 75°F. Under these conditions, the battery can be



considered fully charged when the charging current has fallen below 2.5 Amps.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 456



Charging below 60°F should be avoided if possible, since the capacity of the battery to take up current is reduced and the charging time is



extended considerably. However, if provisional charging below 60°F is performed, the charging voltage must be set to 14.8V. Charging shall



be discontinued no earlier than when the charging current falls below 1.5 Amps.



Further Technical Notes



PROCEDURE FOR HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY PACKS INSTALLED IN HYBRIDS



High-voltage battery packs should be checked at the same maintenance intervals as for 12 volt batteries.



The charge status of the high-voltage battery pack is shown in the instrument cluster. If the charge indicator displays a state of charge in the



lower quarter of the gauge (A), the high-voltage battery pack must be recharged until the charge indicator displays a value in the upper quarter



(B).



On the battery log form, charge indicator positions A or B should be logged as follows:



A = 0 or 1/4 (depending on actual needle position)



B = 3/4 or F (depending on actual needle position)



^ Charge the high-voltage battery pack by starting the engine and letting it run until the required charge status is reached. If the vehicle is



inside a building, exhaust extraction must be used. If the vehicle is outside, the vehicle must be in a secure area.



^ For vehicles where the state of charge of the high-voltage battery pack is insufficient to start the engine, connect a BMW recommended



battery charger to the battery posts under the hood. Only use Deutronic DBL 1600 or Multi Charger 1500 battery chargers due to



amperage requirements needed to bring the HV battery up to the necessary state of charge (refer to SI B04 23 10 for more information on



currently approved battery chargers). The ignition must be switched on and all consumers that are not required switched off (e.g., lights,



radio, A/C). When the CC message "Charging completed" is displayed, this means that the engine start capability has been restored. Start



the engine and continue the charging process as described above.



Vehicles on the showroom floor should have the high-voltage system de-energized using the Service Disconnect on the top of the high-voltage



battery unit.



USED VEHICLES



Used vehicles in BMW center inventory should be monitored and recharged according to the above principles. There is no reason why the



battery maintenance should be neglected, since poor reliability of a pre-owned BMW may deter a customer from buying a new one at a later



date.



VEHICLE DELIVERY



The CBS Handover Inspection must be performed as the last process step, immediately before delivery to the customer! Refer to the Service



Information entitled "New Vehicle Preparation and Maintenance Requirements" for the vehicle model concerned.



Upon the sale of a vehicle, its BATTERY LOG FORM should be removed from the BATTERY CHARGE LOG (binder) and filed in the



vehicle file, to be available for future reference.



To ensure that the battery remains fully charged, start the engine before demonstrating the operation of components to the customer at the time



of delivery.



UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should a vehicle equipped with a battery disconnect switch be sold or delivered to a customer.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 457



GENERAL INFORMATION



If a vehicle is used as a demonstrator, the battery disconnect switch MUST BE REMOVED.



When reconnecting the battery, torque the battery nut by following the appropriate specification listed in Tightening Torque 61 21...



Under special circumstances where the battery disconnect switch is not removed, extreme caution must be taken not to turn off the battery



disconnect switch while driving (for example, when moving the vehicle on the lot).



Note that the procedures outlined above are meant to be guidelines to assist BMW centers in assuring a sufficient state of charge of vehicle



batteries at all times. Following these procedures, however, will not guarantee a sufficient state of charge on all batteries: there may be



exceptional cases of excessive current draw through very frequent movement of back lot vehicles, for example, which may call for more



frequent recharging than otherwise necessary.



The above guidelines for proper battery maintenance are meant to provide maximum flexibility for every BMW center. Regional BMW



personnel will be happy to assist with setting up an effective charging and monitoring program.

SITUATION



[NEW] The "Service Engine Soon" (MIL) lamp is illuminated and engine power reduction is perceived.



This situation can occur after driving for some time with the engine at full operating temperature. If the ignition is cycled, the engine then usually



performs normally.



The following faults are stored in the DME:



^ 2A82 VANOS intake - stiff; jammed mechanically



^ 2A87 VANOS exhaust - stiff; jammed mechanically



^ [NEW] 130108 VANOS intake: control fault, position not reached



^ [NEW] 130308 VANOS exhaust: control fault, position not reached



^ [NEW] For the N54 engine, the following secondary faults may also be stored:



^ [NEW] 120408 Charge-air pressure control, cut-out: Boost pressure accumulation blocked



^ [NEW] 3100 Boost-pressure control, deactivation - boost-pressure buildup prohibited



[NEW] CAUSE



The VANOS faults can be caused by an insufficient oil pressure supply to the inlet VANOS adjustment unit. To effectively move the camshafts to



the target positions in the specified time and under all engine conditions, sufficient oil pressure supply to the VANOS control pistons must always be



available.



If engine operation requires the VANOS system to quickly advance or retard the intake or exhaust camshaft, faults may be stored if the camshaft is



"late", or does not reach the target position. In this situation, engine power may be reduced and a check control message is displayed.



The consequential fault 3100 or 120408 can also be set in the DME fault memory as well.



PROCEDURE



1. Perform all applicable test plans completely for the faults stored.



A mechanical restriction or electrical failure of the VANOS solenoid and/or the electrical circuit can cause insufficient oil supply to the



VANOS assemblies as well.



If the completed test plans results are inconclusive, then proceed to step 2.



2. The oil filter cap insert may have been inadvertently removed during the vehicles last oil service. If this insert is not installed, it will result in



non-filtered engine oil being supplied to the engine, thus possibly clogging or damaging the VANOS solenoids.



If the oil filter cap insert is found to be missing, the entire oil filter housing cap must be replaced (refer to the EPC).



Note:



Repairs related to step 2 are not considered a defect in materials or workmanship.



3. [NEW] Replace both VANOS solenoids, change the engine oil and filter, and reset the service data only when applicable, as outlined in the



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 464



Warranty Information section. Drive the vehicle to verify effectiveness.



INFORMATION ONLY - CAMSHAFT BEARING LEDGE WEAR ASSESSMENT



While performing the test plan for the VANOS faults stored (ABL-DIT-B1214_NGNWA or E), the inspection of the camshaft hook ring seals is



advised in "step 5 of these test plans".



Below are detailed illustrations of worn camshaft bearing ledges, and the acceptable wear of the camshaft bearing ledge.



1. Camshaft bearing ledge



2. Intake camshaft



3. Hook ring seals



[NEW] Note the deep grooves worn into the camshaft bearing ledge by the camshaft hook ring seals. The camshaft bearing ledge is worn.



[NEW] See the magnification call-out in the illustration for a detailed description of the wear.



[NEW] Acceptable camshaft bearing ledge - minor gray wear marks from the rotation of the camshaft are normal. If deep groves are not



apparent, the camshaft bearing ledge is acceptable and should not be replaced.



[NEW] Do not replace parts that are not worn.



IMPORTANT:



The applicable test plans for the faults stated in this bulletin may advise replacement of the entire intake or exhaust camshaft. This



statement is an error, and will be corrected with ISTA/D 2.34.0. Do not replace the entire intake or exhaust camshaft; if applicable, only



replace the bearing ledge and rectangular hook rings on the affected camshaft for the VANOS fault stored in DME Memory.

SITUATION



The customer may complain that during the cold start in the morning, the engine runs very roughly and the Service Engine Soon lamp is illuminated.



Various misfire fault codes (e.g., 29CC, 29D2, 29D1, 29D0, 29C0, 29CF) may be stored in the DME control module.



The engine rough running complaint can be reproduced on a cold start in the workshop. During the course of diagnosis, the spark plugs, removed



from the misfiring cylinders afier the problem was reproduced, are found to be soaked ("wet") with fuel, while the injector tips are covered with a



layer of carbon deposit.



CAUSE



Possible cause: high-pressure injector failure (leakage or incorrect spraying pattern) due to internal wear or unfavorable stock of tolerances



IMPORTANT:



For comprehensive N54 drivability diagnostics, always refer to the "N54 Engine Diagnostic Fault Tree" file (the current version "02_14 13" is



found as a PDF attachment to SI B12 55 06).



[NEW] CORRECTION



In the case of reproducible "cold start" rough engine running with corresponding misfire faults, replace the high-pressure injectors using improved



P/N 13 53 8 616 079 with index 11 or higher. Follow Repair Instruction 13 53 310 for injector removal and installation. Additionally, the spark



plugs from the misfiring cylinders which were found to be soaked ("wet") with fuel should be replaced.



After injector replacement, perform the individual injector calibration (adjustment) with the DME control module, per SI B12 26 08.



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 469



See the photo shown to properly identify the index number.



IMPORTANT:



Injectors with index 11 and higher have a different calibration than injectors with index 10 and lower. Due to this difference, injectors with index



11 and higher and injectors with index 10 and lower cannot be used in the same engine.



IMPORTANT:



Starting on January 3rd, 2011, Part Replacement Authorization is NOT required for N54 injector replacement.



IMPORTANT NOTE:



For N54 misfire fault complaints during normal engine operation (misfire faults not related to the engine's "cold start"), refer to the following



Service bulletins:

Battery - 'Discharged Battery' Energy Diagnosis Required



SI B61 13 05



General Electrical Systems



March 2013



Technical Service



This Service Information bulletin supersedes SI B61 13 05 dated October 2012.



[NEW] designates changes to this revision



SUBJECT



Discharged Battery: Energy Diagnosis Must Be Performed



MODEL



[NEW] All vehicles produced from 3/2004 (except I-Bus vehicles)



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 475



[NEW] SITUATION



The electrical system of BMW vehicles has been subject to an ongoing development process over the last few years. This has led to increased



demands being placed on the battery. This document covers important information for the dealer on how to handle "discharged battery" complaints.



In order to properly repair the vehicle the first time in the workshop, it is very important that the diagnostic test plans are performed to completion,



with all results taken into consideration. The procedure as outlined below contains information that will guide the technician to properly repairing the



vehicle and getting paid for a warranty claim.



[NEW] CAUSE



A discharged battery can have various causes, most of which do not concern the battery itself. A failed battery is often the symptom and not the



cause. A fully serviceable battery fails when an electrical component causes the battery to discharge; the battery becomes internally damaged and



must be replaced. For more information, refer to www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-42B.htm. For this reason, replacing the battery is not usually a



permanent repair. The cause of the discharged battery must be analyzed in order to guarantee a proper repair.



[NEW] PROCEDURE



Before starting diagnosis, refer to the attached flowchart which will guide you through this procedure, and can be used as a reference guide for all



E-Series and FO1/F02 vehicles produced up to 9/2010.



For F10 vehicles and later with advanced onboard battery diagnostics, please refer to SI B61 02 11.



For all models, "Energy Diagnosis" must be performed on all discharged battery complaints. At the conclusion of the "Energy Diagnosis" test plan, a



diagnostic code is generated. The exceptions are:



^ "Exhaustive Battery discharge" test plan results



^ "Terminal 30g-f shutdown due to start capability limit"



These 2 exceptions are displayed for informational purposes only, and would not display a diagnostic code. In these cases, the most likely cause is a



faulty battery, and this can be determined by the Midtronics battery tester.



1. Fault analysis (Energy Diagnosis)



Complete the energy diagnosis test plan on every vehicle with a discharged battery. There are currently two paths to access the energy diagnosis



test plan:



^ If a power management fault is stored, ISTA will select the energy diagnosis test plan automatically.



^ The test plan can also be selected manually: "Function structure > Body > Power supply > Energy Diagnosis."



2. Once the test plan has finished, the number [1] "Most Likely Cause" is automatically displayed if any faults are calculated by the test plan. Finish



the test plan by processing all the "Most Likely Causes," starting from [1]. The most recent cause of a discharged battery is listed under [1]. If no



"Most Likely Causes" are calculated, the results screen will be displayed: "Most Likely Cause (0)," diagnostic code is undetermined.



3. The following is a list of reasons for a discharged battery, indicated by the results of the test plan.



A. Examples of vehicle faults



^ Battery fault (aged battery - only on IBS-equipped vehicles)



^ Alternator fault



^ Vehicle is not entering sleep mode (sleep mode prevented)



^ Vehicle is constantly woken from sleep mode



^ Closed-circuit current is too high



^ Closed-circuit current infringement



^ Exhaustive battery charge (for information only)



^ Terminal 30g-f shutdown due to start capability limit (for information only)



^ Terminal 30F shutdown due to start capability limit (for information only)



^ Terminal 30B electric fan or coolant pump after-run (for information only)



^ Undetermined



2010 BMW 335Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) 476



B. Examples of operating faults



^ Lights/hazard warning lights left on for too long



^ Terminal R or terminal 15 left on for too long (this fault may also be set when the vehicle is in the workshop - refer to the mileage that the



fault set in order to determine this). Except for the vehicles listed below, the fault is set when the engine is off and terminal R or terminal 15



is left on for more than 30 minutes; and the power supply drops below 11.5 volts for at least 2 minutes. The amount of time that terminal R or



terminal 15 is left on is accurate.



^ E65 and E66 (7 Series)



^ E90, E91, and E92 (3 Series) prior to 3/07



^ E60 and E61 (5 Series), vehicle integration level prior to E060-07-09-500



^ E63 and E64 (6 Series), vehicle integration level prior to E060-07-09-500



^ E70 (X5) prior to 3/07



^ Vehicle parked for too long



^ Vehicle use when stationary



If a new battery is installed, the "Energy Diagnosis" test plan should be completed prior to registering the new battery. When the battery is



registered, the stored energy history is deleted. This may cause the vehicle to return if the root cause of the discharged battery is not determined.



WARRANTY INFORMATION



In order to claim an eligible faulty battery either under the BMW New Vehicle/SAV Limited Warranty or the BMW Original Parts Warranty



(In-center workshop repairs), the Energy Diagnosis test plan must be performed to completion.



When required, a Midtronics' Battery Test procedure must also be performed. The Midtronic battery tester printout(s) must be retained with the



repair order.



To assist you in determining the warranty coverage on a battery, please refer to the following guidelines:



Covered under warranty,



^ A diagnostic code is generated for a vehicle fault



^ A diagnostic code is undetermined



^ A diagnostic code is generated for an operating fault such as unfavorable driving profile (e.g., driven extremely short distances) and the



Midtronics battery tester or Energy Diagnosis results indicate the battery needs to be replaced.



A "Stand-alone" faulty battery is claimed using the battery defect code listed in KSD2.



Other Repairs



If it is determined that some other covered vehicle fault and repair caused the battery to fail, the failed battery is to be claimed under the KSD2



defect code that applies to the failed (casual) component or repair (e.g. Alternator, permanent failure).



[NEW] Note:



Please follow any TeileClearing (TC) or Diagcode (DC) requirements that may apply to this work.



Not covered under warranty,



^ A diagnostic code is generated for an operating fault such as leaving the lights on, vehicle parked too long, battery not maintained etc.

Recall 13V-044 - Repair Battery Positive Cable



SI B61 02 13



General Electrical Systems



March 2013



Technical Service



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.



BMW centers must ensure recalls are completed after having been notified by BMW of North America, LLC (BMWNA) that a safety-related defect



or noncompliance exists in any motor vehicle or item of replacement equipment in the center's possession at the time of notification. In BMW NA's



case, this notification would typically be made by the issuance of a recall notification in the form of a Service Information bulletin (SIB) or



transmission of a Dealer Communication System (DCS) recall message.



Under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, as amended, if a recall campaign is announced by BMW NA, centers must ensure



that all recalls on new vehicles and new items of replacement equipment are completed BEFORE delivery to the consumer. This means that centers



may not legally deliver new motor vehicles or new items of replacement equipment to consumers with an open recall.



The Safety Act also prohibits centers from selling or leasing the motor vehicle or item of replacement equipment, unless and until the open recall has



been completed BEFORE delivery. This also pertains to vehicles in the Certified Pre-Owned program, and to items of replacement equipment.



Finally, BMW centers should not sell or use parts that have been recalled by BMW NA. Please follow the specific instructions provided by BMW



NA on the return or disposition of the parts.

SUBJECT



Crankcase Ventilation System Diagnosis and Measurement



MODEL



All



INFORMATION



All current BMW engines incorporate a pressure-controlled crankcase ventilation system. The crankcase ventilation systems use various different



crankcase ventilation valves, depending on the engine type. Although the valves all look different, they function similarly, using a spring and



diaphragm assembly to control the crankcase pressure. A properly functioning pressure control valve is designed to maintain a slight vacuum



(underpressure) in the crankcase, which assures reliable crankcase venting during all engine operating conditions. Some of the causes and results of a



malfunctioning crankcase ventilation system are listed below.



Causes of Excessive Overpressure (Pressure)



^ Internal engine damage/wear



^ Obstruction in the crankcase ventilation system



^ Defective pressure control valve(s)



Results of Excessive Overpressure



^ Damage to the engine oil seals



^ Increased engine oil consumption (can be misdiagnosed as a defective turbocharger)



^ Excessive engine oil in the intake system



^ Excessive engine oil in the charged intake tubes or the intercooler on turbocharged engines (can be misdiagnosed as a defective turbocharger)

Two errors may be encountered when performing Test Plan B1214_DI6KDR - Fuel Pressure Control with the current version of ISTA/D:



^ On the last step when the diagnosis code is displayed, the test plan may state to replace the fuel low-pressure sensor and that a Bosch sensor



will need to be installed.



^ The right side of the test plan screen will provide two incorrect pictures and statements describing the fuel low-pressure sensors.



All of the statements related to the identification of the fuel low-pressure sensor are incorrect. Replace the fuel low-pressure sensor that is identified



in ETK only after entering the vehicle identification number. Do not replace the metal fuel line with this pressure sensor.



This error will be corrected in ISTA/D 3.39.0.
