SITUATION

The "energy management " Check control message (ID code 415) is falsely displayed when entering the vehicle.

The following fault is stored in the fault memory of the Central Gateway Module (ZGW):

801C10 - Request for ParkBN_niO wake-up state.

CAUSE

Software errors in the Body Domain Control module (BDC).

PROCEDURE

Perform diagnosis with the latest version of ISTA, working through test module, if needed.
Is the vehicle current integration level between:
- S15A-21-11-505/S18-21-11-505/S15C-21-11-505
  And LESS (LOWER) than-
- S15A-21-11-535/S18A-21-11-535/S15-21-11-535 (i.e., up to...21-11-530)?
  YES: Proceed to Step 3
  
  NO: Do not program the vehicle and perform diagnosis with ISTA

Program the vehicle using ISTA 4.33.X or higher (expected to be released mid December 2021, pending verification).

Target integration level
S15A-21-11-535/S18A-21-11-535/S15-21-11-535

Note that 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 DealerSpeed/TIS/Technical Documentation/Diagnostics and Programming/Programming Documentation.

Select one of these open Technical Campaigns to perform and submit for updating the vehicle's software to the required I-level or higher.

Please be sure to perform any additional before and/or after work (including attaching labels) as required by the open campaigns on the vehicle. Close any remaining open programming and encoding Campaign repairs as outlined in the corresponding Service Information Bulletin.
