VOLUNTARY EMISSIONS RECALL CAMPAIGN 10E-A02: N54 HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP; PROGRAM CONTROL UNITS
TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN
| BMW: | E60, E61, E71, E82, E88, E89, E90, E92, E93 with the N54 engine produced from 03/28/2006 to 02/26/2010 |
| GROUP: | Fuel Systems |
PERFORM THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THIS SERVICE INFORMATION ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES THE NEXT TIME THEY ARE IN THE SHOP.
SUBJECT
Voluntary Emissions Recall Campaign 10E-A02: N54 High-Pressure Fuel Pump; Program Control Units
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, 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
- 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.
- If the integration levels are lower than displayed above, then program/recode the vehicle using the current ISTA/P version (2.40.2 or later).
After programming is completed, the DME programmed part number should be higher than "7626000".
Note that ISTA/P will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the latest software.
For information on programming and coding with ISTA/P, refer to Centernet / Aftersales Portal / Service / Workshop Technology / Vehicle Programming.
LABEL INSTRUCTIONS
After the vehicle has been checked and corrected, obtain a label (SD 92-406) and with a ball point pen, print your dealer code (5 digits) on the Recall Completion Label (see illustration). An initial quantity of 200 labels will be sent to all BMW 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 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.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
The repair described in this bulletin is covered under warranty regardless of time or mileage.
Reimbursement for this Recall will be via normal claim entry utilizing the following information:
Defect Code: 00 12 07 03 00
| Labor Operation: | Labor Allowance: | Description: |
|---|---|---|
| 00 59 827 | 1 FRU | Check the I-level; no programming needed |
| 00 59 068 | 9 FRU | Program the control units |
| 00 59 069 | 11 FRU | Program control units (including programming CAS) |
In cases where ISTA requires the replacement of control modules or additional programming because certain control modules failed to program correctly, or just an initialization is required, print out the Measures Plan and/or Final Report and attach these reports to the RO in the vehicle file. This additional work should be claimed under the defect code listed in this bulletin, using the labor operation and labor allowance from the KSD2.
