Vehicles with energy management systems (IBS, power module): Register battery replacement
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW 550i GT, 2012 BMW 550i GT, 2011 BMW 550i GT, and 2010 BMW 550i GT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The vehicle electrical system is informed about the vehicle battery characteristic data, such as type, size, age and current power capacity. Therefore, there will always be only one work scope provided that is permitted by the current status of information.
If the performance readiness drops below a defined minimum, a Check Control message will be generated to advise the driver that the battery must be replaced.
When installing a new vehicle battery, the battery must be registered and thus must also be registered with the vehicle electrical system.
NOTE:
Only this registration/logon will ensure that the corresponding Check Control message will go out again.
