SITUATION
When diagnosing an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and/or a different issue, the following
faults may also be stored in the Digital Motor Electronics (DME).
Fault code
213A2B
Control module
DME
Fault code text
Increment wheel adaption faulty
This situation is not associated with any drivability complaints.
CAUSE
An unfavorable DME diagnostic calibration may cause the fault code to be stored. In most circumstances,
this will cause the MIL to be illuminated.
CORRECTION
Program the vehicle with ISTA 4.20.3x (released late November 2019) or later.
PROCEDURE
1. Connect the vehicle to a BMW approved battery charger (Refer to SI B04 23 10)
2. Program the vehicle using ISTA 4.20.3x to the appropriate I-level shown below:
Model
G01 (X3 Sports Activity Vehicle)
G02 (X4 Sports Activity Coupe)
Target I-level
S15A-19-11-534 or higher
Note: ISTA will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not
have the latest software.
For information on programming and coding with ISTA, refer to CenterNet / TIS / Technical Documentation /
Programming and Diagnostics / Programming Documentation.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
During this workshop visit, the affected vehicle may also show one or more programming and encoding
Technical Campaign repairs open, the programming and encoding procedure may only be invoiced one
time.
If you should have this situation, update the vehicle to the current available I-level by performing
and submitting for one of these open Technical Campaigns instead. Please be sure to also perform
any additional work the campaign repairs require and/or close the remaining open programming and
encoding Campaign repairs as outlined in the corresponding Service Information Bulletin.
Only if the situation above does not apply, the BMW software solution is then:
