CORRECTION
Diagnose with ISTA and reprogram.
PROCEDURE
For conditions that are similar to the situation described:
1. Perform diagnosis with the latest version of ISTA, working through test module, if needed.
2. Program the vehicle using ISTA 4.09.1x or higher.
G01 , G12, G30, G32
Target integration level: S15A-17-11-540 or higher
Note that ISTA will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the
latest software.
Always connect a BMW-approved battery charger/power supply (SI B04 23 10).
For information on programming and coding with ISTA, refer to CenterNet / TIS / Technical Documentation /
Diagnostics and Programming / Programming Documentation.

If you are using a Main labor code for another repair, use the Plus code labor operation 00 00 556 instead of
00 00 006.
Refer to KSD2/AIR for the corresponding flat rate unit (FRU) allowances.
Work time labor operation code 61 00 006 is not considered a Main labor operation; however, it does require
an individual punch time and an explanation on the repair order and in the claim comments section.
During the same workshop visit, if a vehicle also requires another Technical Campaign or repair that also
includes programming and encoding the control units, the programming procedure may only be invoiced one
time
Vehicle Programming and Encoding
A. The programming procedure automatically reprograms and encodes all vehicle control modules which
do not have the latest software i-level. If one or more 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.
Please explain this additional work (The why and what) on the repair order in the claim comments
section.

B. For control module failures that occurred “prior” to performing this programming procedure; and/or
C. Other work/repairs that results from performing ISTA diagnostics and the related test plans:
• When “covered” under an applicable limited warranty, claim this control module-related repair work
using the applicable defect code and labor operations (including diagnosis) in KSD2/AIR.
