All Models
SITUATION
Where it is necessary to replace the right or the left-side fuel level sensor due to a failure, the entire pump and housing or delivery unit (suction jet
assembly) do not need to be replaced as well. In some cases, EPC does not show that the repair kit is available separately in the illustration, but it is
available in the parts description.2010 BMW X6 (E71) V8-4.4L Turbo (N63)

For example, the customer complains that the fuel gauge is inoperative. When diagnosed, the problem is found to be a defective right-side fuel level
sensor. Only the fuel level sensor should be replaced; there is no need to replace the entire fuel delivery module assembly. Refer to the applicable
Repair Instruction for complete details.
Fuel pump repair kits or delivery units (suction jet assemblies) should not be used to repair fuel level sensor concerns, and will not be covered under
the terms of the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

ISTA Test Plan Priority Error
MODEL
All
When diagnosing a vehicle using ISTA (Integrated Service Technical Application), fault code test plans are intended to be listed by "Priority".
However, the priority given to test plans by ISTA may not be reliable. This may lead to unnecessary diagnosis being performed.
When ISTA was introduced, the entire diagnostics from DIS was migrated over to ISTA. Until all of the diagnostic data has been revised within
ISTA, this type of error may occur.
Before starting diagnosis, the entire test schedule should be considered. Always use fault symptom diagnosis when available~ and use the customer
complaint as the basis for determining which test plan to start first.
Note:
With each ISTA release, the priority given in the test schedule will become more reliable.
