VOLUNTARY EMISSIONS RECALL 06E-A03 - S62, S54 - DME REPROGRAMMING FOR OBD COMMUNICATION
TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN
| BMW: | Z3 M Roadster/Coupe with S54; E46 M3 Coupe/Convertible with S54 up to 8/27/04 production; E52 Z8 with S62; E39 M5 with S62 |
| GROUP: | 12 - Engine Electrical Systems |
PERFORM THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THIS SERVICE INFORMATION ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES THE NEXT TIME THEY ARE IN THE SHOP FOR MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS.
SUBJECT
Voluntary Emissions Recall 06E-A03: S62, S54 - DME Reprogramming for OBD Communication
SITUATION
Under certain conditions, when the ignition is switched off and on again, the OBD communication cannot be established between the MSS52 or MSS54 DMEs and the generic scan tools. As a result, MY '00-04 vehicles equipped with Motorsport S62 and S54 engines may not be able to pass a state emission inspection where the testing procedure consists of scanning OBD readiness codes.
The OBD communication and the On-board Diagnostics are always possible when using BMW DIS or GT1 testers.
In order to remedy the situation, BMW is conducting a Voluntary Emissions Recall Campaign to reprogram the engine control units (DME) on all affected vehicles.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
This Recall Campaign involves MY '01-'03 Z3 M Roadster/Coupe vehicles with S54 engines, MY '00-'03 Z8 and M5 vehicles with S62 engines, and M3 Coupe/Convertible vehicles with S54 engines which were produced from Series introduction up to 08/27/2004.
In order to determine if a specific vehicle is affected by this Recall Campaign, it will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of the DCS (Dealer Communication System). Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action.
The Chassis Number Ranges listed below are only for informational purposes and are not to be considered the only deciding factor.
| Model | Chassis Number Range |
|---|---|
| Z3 M Roadster | LJ80015 - LJ80913 |
| LJ82013 - LJ82634 | |
| Z3 M Coupe | LK60019 - LK60335 |
| LK61000 - LK61313 | |
| M3 Coupe | JR10058 - JR24983 |
| PN55023 - PN60027 | |
| M3 Convertible | EX20056 - EX24996 |
| PK00008 - PK08211 | |
| Z8 | AH60268 - AH62526 |
| M5 | BZ94051 - BZ99998 |
| CF90008 - CF93976 |
CORRECTION
On all affected vehicles, reprogram the DME using Progman 21.2 or higher.
Also, on M3 vehicles equipped with the SMG transmission, reprogram the SMG control module using Progman 21.2 or higher.
It is NOT necessary to perform any of the SMG Teach-in Transmission procedures (e.g., "Teach-in clutch valve characteristic values", "Adapt compete transmission", or "Teach-in clutch slip point") after reprogramming the SMG control module. Readapting the complete transmission or clutch characteristic/biting point after SMG module programming may cause harsh shifting or incorrect clutch engagement.
PROCEDURE
- Connect an approved battery charger and the DK diagnostic head.
- Start a new Progman session and select the appropriate vehicle Series.
- Select "Load Software" and then answer "NO" to the query as to whether any of the control modules have been replaced.
- Select DME (SMG) from the list of the control modules.
- Select "Program" menu and then "Update Software" from the submenu. The measure plan will be determined and displayed.
- Select "Accept" and "Start" to start the programming. After the programming is completed, determine and clear any faults stored in control modules using DIS/GT1, if necessary.
The following part numbers for the DME control module should be displayed in the final report after the reprogramming:

Manual determination of the basic and programmed control module numbers should be used only when the DME has already "crashed" during an aborted Progman session.
In such a case, to determine the correct hardware level (MSS54/MSS54HP), use the "New part no. progr. ctrl." printed from the failed Progman Measures Plan; or determine it from the DME label (see Fig 1) and part numbers provided in this Service Information.
MSS54HP DME label
The following part numbers for the SMG control module should be displayed in the final report after the reprogramming of a M3:
E46 M3 Coupe/Convertible with SMG transmission MY '01-'04
SMG module,
Programmed P/N - 7 837 730 or higher
Basic P/N - 7 837 728 or higher.
LABEL INSTRUCTIONS
After the vehicle has been checked and corrected, obtain a label (SD 92-323) and with a ball-point pen print your dealer code (5 digits) on the Recall Completion Label (see illustration). An initial quantity of 100 labels will be sent to all BMW automotive centers. Peel the label from its backing and affix it to the right (passenger) rear side of the hood in the engine compartment, close to the windshield.
For California centers only: It is required by the California Code of Regulations that an executed orange "Vehicle Emission Recall - Proof of Correction" certificate (SD92-084, see illustration) be provided to each customer (for vehicles registered in the state of California) once the Recall on his or her vehicle has been completed.
