SME PROGRAMMING ERROR

TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN

Reference Number(s): SI M61 07 17, Date of Issue: October 01, 2017

MINI:	F60 PHEV (Cooper S E Countryman ALL4)
GROUP:	General Electrical Systems

SITUATION

After programming the vehicle with ISTA 4.05.3x (I level 17-03-509) or a more recent version, the fault memories of the battery management electronics (SME) read, amongst others, the following fault codes:

21F10A - High-voltage safety switch (Service Disconnect): Evaluation implausible 21F276 - High-voltage battery unit, cell supervision circuit: Test failed between safety computer and main computer

NOTE: The fault occurs in the workshop, should be detected immediately after programming and therefore, should have no repercussions for the customer.

CAUSE

One software unit of the SME is not programmed.

CORRECTION

Reprogram the SME.

PROCEDURE

For conditions that are similar to the situation described (specified fault codes in memory):

Verify the vehicle has just been programmed with ISTA 4.05.3x or a more recent version.
Select SME in ISTA and program again.
Clear the fault memory and read it out again.

Have the fault codes returned?

YES- follow the instructions from the diagnosis.

NO - no further work is required.

VEHICLE PROGRAMMING AND CODING

When ISTA/P automatically reprograms and codes all the vehicle's control modules that currently do not have the latest software, and if control module failures occur during this programming procedure:

Please claim this consequential control module-related repair work under the defect code listed in this bulletin with the applicable KSD2/AIR labor operations.

OTHER REPAIRS

Control module failures that occurred prior to this programming procedure and/or additional work is performed as a result of performing the further ISTA diagnostics and related test plans:

When covered under an applicable limited warranty, claim the control module-related and/or other repair work using the applicable defect code and labor operations in KSD2/AIR.
