DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL FAILURE
TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN
| BMW: | G12 (7 Series); G30 (5 Series Sedan); Vehicles produced through March 10 2017. |
| GROUP: | Brakes |
SITUATION
Instrument cluster indicates Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) failure.
You cannot establish communication with the DSC control unit.
Associated control units (DME, ACSM) register DSC-related communication time-outs.
After battery reset, DSC operates normally and has no faults registered.
CAUSE
Software in the DSC control module.
CORRECTION
Recode/reprogram the vehicle with ISTA NEXT 4.04.3 or higher
PROCEDURE
For conditions that are similar to the situation described:
- Perform diagnosis with the latest version of ISTA.
- Program the vehicle using ISTA/P 3.61.2 or ISTA NEXT 4.04.3 or higher
| G12 (5 Series) | Target integration level: S15A-17-03-505 or higher |
| G30 (7 Series) | |
Note that ISTA/P 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/P, refer to CenterNet/TIS/Technical Documentation/Diagnostics and Programming/Programming Documentation.

Vehicle Programming and Coding
When ISTA/P automatically reprograms and codes all the vehicle's control modules that "currently do not have" the latest software and if one or more control module failures occur "during" this programming procedure:
- Please claim this "consequential" control module-related repair work under the defect code listed in this bulletin with the applicable KSD2/AIR labor operations.
Other Repairs
Control module failures that occurred "prior" to performing this programming procedure:
- When "covered" under an applicable limited warranty, claim this control module-related repair work using the applicable defect code and labor operations in KSD2/AIR.
