TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN

Reference Number(s): SI B63 02 14, Date of Issue: January, 2014

BMW:	F30, F31, F32, F34; With option 520 (fog light); Vehicles produced to March 2013
GROUP:	Lights

SUBJECT

Fog Light Operation Changed After Programming

SITUATION

After the vehicle is programmed with ISTA/P 2.49.x or 2.50.x (integration level earlier than F020-13-11-502), the fog lights cannot be operated when the light switch is in the parking light position.

NOTE: The fog light operation has been changed in vehicles produced from March 2013. The fog lights cannot be operated when the light switch is in the park position. This is normal operation due to state legislative requirements that have changed; no further action is required.

CAUSE

Software error with ISTA/P 2.49.x and 2.50.x

PROCEDURE

Perform diagnosis using ISTA and diagnose any faults related to the above situation. Follow the test plan recommendations. If no faults are stored, proceed to the next step.
Program the vehicle using the latest version of ISTA/P (integration level F020-13-11-502 or higher).

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/Aftersales Portal/Service/Workshop Technology/Vehicle Programming.

WARRANTY INFORMATION

Covered under the terms of the BMW New Vehicle/SAV Limited Warranty or the BMW Certified Pre-Owned Program.

If control module(s) fail to reprogram or initializations are required, the additional work must be claimed using separate labor operations found in KSD2 under the defect code listed above.

Other Repairs

If performing ISTA diagnostics and related test plans results in other eligible and covered work, claim this work with the applicable defect code and/or labor operations listed in KSD2.
