SUBJECT
Replacement Procedure for 90AH Absorbed Glass Matt Battery
MODEL
All
SITUATION
Since December 2011, the 90AH Absorbed Glass Matt (AGM) battery is no longer available as a replacement part.
The replacement battery is now a 92AH AGM battery.
ISTA/P (Integrated Service Technical Application, Programming) does not contain a conversion for the 92AH AGM battery.
INFORMATION
The 92AH AGM battery is now locally sourced through Exide.

PROCEDURE
1. Install the new 92AH AGM battery as per ISTA Repair Instructions "61 20."
2. Perform the "Register battery change" test plan using ISTA. The test plan can be accessed via the following path: "Activities / Service function
/ 03 Body / power supply / Battery."
Note:
A vehicle test is not required in order to perform this test plan.
3. Once the test plan is started, select the option "1 Enter battery replacement: same capacity." Complete the plan to the end.
4. Clear all faults and reset the date and time.
5. The battery replacement is finished. A conversion using ISTA/P is not needed.

SUBJECT
CIC: Replacement Part Has a Permanent Fault Code Stored for SDARS
MODEL
All from 09/2008 to 08/2009 with:
^
Option 609 (Navigation System Professional, CIC)
and
^
Option 655 (SDARS Satellite Tuner)
SITUATION
When replacing a Car Information Computer (CIC) with a new-style CIC head unit which has an integrated satellite tuner (SDARS Inbox; additional
connector [pink] in the back), a fault code can occur.
^
Fault code "C5AE - CIC connection head unit to SDARS antenna foot: open circuit - fault currently present" is stored permanently.
NOTE:
The affected vehicles are equipped with an external satellite tuner (SDARS Exbox). The pink connector on the back of the replacement CIC head
unit is not used to connect the satellite antenna!
CAUSE
The fault code is set incorrectly by the CIC head unit.
INFORMATION
After installation of the replacement CIC head unit, start an ISTA/P session and follow the ISTA/P instructions to finish programming and coding.
NOTE:
Fault Code "C5AE - CIC connection head unit to SDARS antenna foot: open circuit - fault currently present" can be ignored.
As soon as an improvement is available, this Service Information will be updated.

Replacement HiFi Amplifier Is Not Accepted by ISTA/P 2.46.x
MODEL
E70
E71
E72
Vehicles produced from SOP (Start of Production) with option 676 (HiFi Loudspeaker System)
SITUATION
When replacing a HiFi amplifier, the part number of the replacement HiFi amplifier is not accepted by the programming and coding tool ISTA/P
(Integrated Service Technical Application Programming).
ISTA/P is incorrectly requesting a different part number.
CAUSE
Error in the ISTA/P software
CORRECTION
Before installing the replacement HiFi amplifier, request a modified VO (Vehicle Order) by submitting a PuMA Case with the following subject
line:
^ E7x HiFi amplifier replacement - ISTA/P 2.46.x
When the modified VO, including "+KAMP," is available and installed in the vehicle, perform the following steps:
1. Install the replacement HiFi amplifier.
2. Start a new ISTA/P session.
^
Answer "YES" when asked, "Have control units been replaced?"
3. Select CONVERSION.
4. In CONVERSION, select "Conversion replacement HiFi loudspeaker system."
5. Accept and carry out the measures plan (programming and coding).
6.Follow ISTA/P instructions to finish programming and coding.
Conversion
The conversion is an embedded part of the programming/encoding procedure that is required after a HiFi amplifier replacement, and therefore
cannot be claimed separately.

[NEW] E92, E93 produced up to December 14, 2009
[NEW] Only vehicles with option 522 (Xenon light) and 524 (Adaptive Light Control)
SITUATION
A daytime running lamp bulb has failed. A "bulb out" warning is displayed in the Check Control. The following fault codes are stored:
E60, E61, E63, E64: Fault code A8C4 or A8C5 is stored in the LM (Lamp Module)
E70, E71, E72, E92, E93: Fault code A8C5 or A8C6 is stored in the FRM (Footwell Module)
CAUSE
Premature failure of the "standard life" bulb
CORRECTION
[NEW] Install a Philips H8 AR "longlife" daytime running lamp bulb on both the left and the right sides of the vehicle. Refer to Repair Instructions
REP 63 99 155/63 99 156 (Replacing bulb for front left [or right] side light...).
[NEW] For E60 and E61 only, code the vehicle using ISTA/P 2.40 or later. This coding reduces the voltage at the bulb with a corresponding
improvement in bulb life.
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.
