SUBJECT

Service Action: Program Control Units for Airbag Warning Lamp

SITUATION

The airbag system fault memory may store a false error FC 9628 "processor reset" in the STVL (Door satellite, front left) that causes the airbag warning lamp to be illuminated.

This Service Action reprograms the airbag system control units.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

This Service Action involves E65/E66 (7 Series) vehicles, which were produced from November 19, 2003 to January 23, 2004.

In order to determine if a specific vehicle is affected by this Service Action, 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 as the only deciding factor.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Model	Chassis Number Range
760i	DC47001 - DC47002
760Li	DK10898 - DK11058
745i	DP70365 - DP71627
745Li	DS48174 - DS50069

PROCEDURE

Using the SSS loaded with CIP12.2 or later, perform programming and coding. Refer to SI B09 05 01 "Coding, Individualization and Programming", Procedure B. Note that CIP will automatically reprogram all programmable control units that do not have the latest software.

LABEL INSTRUCTIONS

This Service Action has been assigned code number 424 . After the vehicle has been checked and corrected if necessary, obtain a label (SD 92-267) and:

emboss your BMW dealer warranty number in the middle of the label (1),
punch out code number 424 (2) printed on the label and,
affix the label to the B pillar as shown.

Fig 1: Service Action Label

If the vehicle already has a label from a previous Service Action/Recall Campaign, affix the new label next to the old one. Do not affix one label on top of another one because a number from an underlying label could appear in the punched-out hole of the new label.

Reimbursement for this Service Action will be via Campaign Entry.
