MODEL
E60, E61, E71, E82, E88, [NEW] E89, E90, E92, E93
with the N54 engine produced from 03/28/2006 to 02/26/2010
SITUATION
The customer may complain of extended engine cranking time before the start. Also, fault code 2FBF (Fuel pressure on - release injection, pressure too low) may be stored in the DME.
CORRECTION
The new DME calibration improves the engine starting strategy and the robustness of the HDP high-pressure fuel pump.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
This Recall Campaign involves E60, E61, E71, E82, E88, [NEW] E89, E90, E92, and E93 vehicles with the N54 engine produced from 03/28/2006 to 02/26/2010.
In order to determine whether a specific vehicle has had this Emissions Recall Campaign completed or is affected by this Recall Campaign, 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.
PROCEDURE
1. [NEW] Check the vehicle's integration level. If the integration levels are equal to or higher than:
E8x/E9x - Integration level: E89X-10-12-503 or higher
E71 - Integration level: E070-10-12-501 or higher
E6x - Integration level: E060-10-12-501 or higher
the vehicle is on the latest software level and does not need programming.
2. [NEW If the integration levels are lower than displayed above, then program/recode the vehicle using the current ISTA/P version (2.40.2 or later).
IMPORTANT:
When programming vehicles equipped with the MSD81 DME, make sure that the DME control module is marked for programming in the measure plan (yellow mark in the control module tree and a "P" symbol). If the DME is not marked, you have to select it manually for programming in the control module tree (click on the module and mark the "program" checkbox), and then determine the measures plan.
After programming is completed, the DME programmed part number should be higher than "7626000".
Note that ISTA/P will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the latest software.
For information on programming and coding with ISTA/P, refer to Centernet / Aftersales Portal / Service / Workshop Technology / Vehicle Programming.
LABEL INSTRUCTIONS
After the vehicle has been checked and corrected, obtain a label (SD 92-406) and with a ball point pen, print your dealer code (5 digits) on the Recall Completion Label (see illustration). An initial quantity of 200 labels will be sent to all BMW centers. Peel the label from its backing and affix it to the right (passenger) rear side of the hood in the engine compartment, close to windshield.
For California centers only: It is required by the California Code of Regulations that an executed orange "Vehicle Emission Recall - Proof of Correction" certificate (SD92-084, see illustration) be provided to each customer (for vehicles registered in the state of California), once the Recall on his or her vehicle has been completed.
Note:
Additional labels can be ordered online at BMW TIS.
