SUBJECT
N47T: Diesel Particulate Sensor Faults Stored in DDE
MODEL
F25 (X3 xDrive 28d)
F30 (3 Series Sedan)
F31 (3 Series Sport Wagon)
Produced to 7/2014
With the N47T engine
SITUATION
The Service Engine Soon lamp (MIL) is on with any of the following diesel particulate sensor faults stored:

2BB700 - Particulate sensor, plausibility: Sensor protective pipe plugged

2BB600 - Particulate sensor, diagnosis response: Measuring electrode, bypass detection

2BB300 - Particulate sensor, diagnosis response: Measuring electrode, self-diagnosis

2BA100 - Particulate sensor, diagnosis response: Temperature measurement, electrical fault
These stored faults would not cause a problem with engine performance.
CAUSE
Unfavorable DDE software
CORRECTION
Replace the PM sensor.
Program the vehicle using the latest version of ISTA/P.
Target integration level: F020-14-07-503 or higher
Note that ISTA/P 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/P, refer to Centernet / Aftersales Portal / Service /
Workshop Technology / Vehicle Programming.
If any of the above faults still occur after programming, continue diagnosis with ISTA and replace the sensor.
