SERVICE INFORMATION

This Service Information Bulletin (Revision 1) replaces SI B62 05 23 dated December 2023. 

What's New  (Specific text highlighted):

SITUATION

After programming, the date and time may be incorrect in the vehicle. This can be easily seen by the Condition Based Services showing overdue incorrectly.

CAUSE

Unfavorable software in the Instrument Cluster (KOMBI).

CORRECTION

Program the Instrument Cluster (KOMBI).

PROCEDURE

Determine the vehicle's current I-level by either using AIR or the AWP (Aftersales Workplace) applications.

If the I-Level is currently at S18A-23-11-550  or a more recent version:

If the I-level is lower than S18A-23-11-550  then program the vehicle to I-level S18A-23-11-550 or higher using ISTA 4.45.25 (released mid-JAN. 2024) or higher.

After the programming has been fully completed, check functionality of the system.

NOTE: ISTA will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the latest software.

Always connect a BMW-approved battery charger/power supply ( SI B04 23 10  ). 

For information on programming and coding with ISTA, refer to Dealer Universal Portal/TIS/Technical Documentation/Diagnostics and Programming/Programming Documentation.
