TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN

Reference Number(s): SI B61 18 13, Date of Issue: November, 2013

BMW:	F12
GROUP:	General Electrical Systems

NOTE: PERFORM THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THIS SERVICE INFORMATION ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES BEFORE CUSTOMER DELIVERY OR THE NEXT TIME THEY ARE IN THE SHOP FOR MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS.

SUBJECT

Service Action: Program Control Units (CAS)

SITUATION

The Car Access System (CAS) software is incorrect, allowing the rear deck lid to be open when the convertible top compartment cover is in the intermediate position. This can cause the convertible top compartment cover to collide with the rear deck lid.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

This Service Action involves F12 vehicles.

In order to determine whether a specific vehicle has had this Service Action completed or is affected by this Service Action, first check the B-pillar label for code number 655 . If code number 655 has been punched out, the campaign has already been performed. If code number 655 has not been punched out, 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.

Important Note: A Campaign can be reserved in ISPA Light as "Pending" prior to submission of a claim. If you find this Campaign reserved, please verify the reason before attempting to perform this repair.

CORRECTION

Update the vehicle software.

PROCEDURE

Program the vehicle using ISTA/P 2.50.3 or higher.
F12 - Integration level (new): F010-13-07-505 or higher.

For information on programming and coding with ISTA/P, refer to CenterNet/Aftersales Portal/Service/Workshop Technology/Vehicle Programming.

NOTE: When the ISTA system message displays: Battery voltage only "XX.XX" V. Please connect charger. Please note the displayed battery voltage reading in the repair order comments section.
Complete all of the post-programming work as indicated in the ISTA/P Final Report. This includes performing diagnosis and clearing faults with ISTA, if necessary.

LABEL INSTRUCTIONS

This Service Action has been assigned code number 655 . After the vehicle has been checked and/or corrected, obtain a label (SD 92-420) and:

Emboss your BMW center warranty number in the middle of the label (1);
Punch out code number 655 (2), printed on the label; and
Affix the label to the B-pillar as shown.

If the vehicle already has a label from a previous 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.
