Battery master document

All model series
Situation: The electrical system of BMW vehicles has been subject to an ongoing development
process over the last few years. This has led to increased demands being placed on the
battery. This document summarises all important information about how the battery should
be handled in the dealership.
Procedure: The complaint ”flat battery” can have various causes, most of which do not concern the
battery itself. For that reason, replacing the battery will only very rarely provide a
permanent solution to the problem. The cause must be properly analysed in order to
perform a repair that actually rectifies the cause.
Below you will find list of the available auxiliary materials. These must be worked through step-by-step to
investigate the problem. The documents listed can be accessed via hotspots.
1. Fault (cause) analysis (energy diagnosis)
Fundamentally, the following causes are possible for a breakdown resulting from a flat battery or problems in
the vehicle's electrical power supply:
Vehicle faults
Battery defective / alternator fault
Vehicle does not ”go to sleep”

cardiagn.com
Vehicle keeps being woken up
Excessive standby current
Operating error
Side lights/parking lights/hazard warning flashers left on too long
Terminal R/15 left on too long
Unreasonable driving/usage profile
An unreasonable driving profile (e.g. extremely short distances) or an unreasonable usage profile (.e.g. too
long immobilisation period, use of auxiliary consumers) represents a very frequent cause of running down the
battery without there being a fault with the vehicle or battery.
If in these cases the battery is not charged sufficiently during driving, a charger must be connected during the
immobilisation period (recommended chargers with cable permanently connected to battery, see BMW Group
Parts).
Attention!
Do not connect the chargers to the 12 V charging socket on the vehicle side. The vehicle electrical system is
thus prevented from "going to sleep" and the battery from being discharged.
The installation of a larger battery or an AGM battery can be used to rectify this (if an AGM battery has not yet
been installed).
Customers who have no option to connect a charger to their vehicle during the immobilisation period are
recommended, as the only alternative in reaching a state of charge that is too low, to travel distances of at
least 10 km.

For the following vehicles the energy diagnosis test procedure must be worked through in the event of
the complaint “flat battery”:
E65, E66, E67 from model year 03/2004,
E60, E61, E63, E64, E70, E71, E72, E81, E82, E84, E87, E88, E89, E90, E91, E92, E93,
All F Series from F01,
BMW i
All MINIs from R55,
RR04,
Note:
The aim of energy diagnosis is to identify the most probable cause for a breakdown caused by a
 flat battery or for problems in the vehicle's electrical power supply. The causes listed above are
stored in energy diagnosis.
To enable the applicant to use the correct defect code, make sure that both the customer's
statement and the diagnosis results are adequately documented. These must be made available
to the applicant.
Text search in ISTA or path: Function Structure > 03 Body > Voltage supply > Energy diagnosis
For all other model series:
For series without energy diagnosis, the customer shall be interviewed to make sure the operator errors
described above can be ruled out as the cause of the battery discharging.

An on-board diagnosis is available to evaluate the battery condition of vehicles with intelligent battery
sensor (IBS) or battery electronics (lithium ion battery):
All BMW and MINI F series from series introduction
Exception: F01, F02, F03 up to 09/2010, F04
BMW i
RR04

The following criteria are analysed to evaluate state of charge:

cardiagn.com
Capacity loss
Charge balance
Complete discharges
Operational energy capacity through automatic engine start-stop function (MSA)
Water loss

The battery condition is determined for the following vehicles with intelligent battery sensor (IBS)by
evaluation of the operational energy capacity and the voltage dip at engine start:
all BMW E-series
F01, F02, F03 up to 09/2010, F04
all MINI R-series

For vehicles with automatic engine start-stop system, if this function is not fully available:
Important!
The prerequisite for invoicing a battery through the warranty channel is to work through the test
module.
Energy diagnosis through to the diagnosis result:
Displaying of cause
Displaying of help instructions
Displaying of corresponding diagnosis code
Exceptions are:
Obvious battery damage and leakage
Use the correct defect code in such situations (61 21 00 49 or 61 21 00 01).
Use of BMW Group Mobile Service and battery replacement on site to restore customer mobility as
quickly as possible.

4. Battery replacement
In the following vehicles the new battery needs to be registered via the diagnosis system:
Always:
E65, E66, E67,
F80, F82, F83,
Providing an intelligent battery sensor (IBS) is fitted (depends on vehicle equipment):
E60, E61, E63, E64, E70, E71, E72, E81, E82, E84, E87, E88, E89, E90, E91, E92, E93,
All F Series from F01,
BMW i
All MINIs from R55,
RR04,
Important!
If the new battery is not registered, incorrect readings may appear in the display of the on-board
computer due to previous data in the power management system (check control message
"Recharge battery" appears even though the battery is new).

Only AGM batteries should be installed in the following vehicles:

E65, E66, E67,
F01, F02, F03, F04, F06, F07, F10, F11, F12, F13, F18,
BMW i
 Vehicles with auxiliary heater (SA536), intelligent generator control or automatic engine start-stop
function.

Only lithium ion batteries should be installed in the following vehicles:

F80, F82, F83

5. Battery charging
5.1 Charging the lead-acid-battery or the AGM battery
The battery may only be recharged by means of chargers that have been approved by BMW and that
have a constant charging voltage of 14.8 V.
If possible, the battery temperature should be between 15 °C and 25 °C during charging. Under these
preconditions, the battery is adequately charged when the charge current drops below 2.5 amps.
If the battery is recharged at lower temperatures, the process should not be ended until the charge
current drops below 1.5 amps.
On vehicles with IBS, recharging the battery directly at the battery terminals could lead to a
misinterpretation of the battery condition and even unwanted Check Control messages or fault entries.
If the battery is recharged while it is installed, it must be recharged using the jump start terminal points,
whenever jump start terminal points are provided in the engine compartment. Only then can you be sure
that recharging is correctly recognised by the vehicle electronics on vehicles with intelligent battery

cardiagn.com
sensor (IBS).
Exception: MINI from R55: These vehicles do not have any jump start terminal points in the engine
compartment.
On these vehicles, the positive terminal of the battery charger must be directly connected to the battery.
On vehicles with a petrol engine, the negative terminal can be connected to the lifting eye (suspension
lug) on the transmission and on vehicles with diesel engines to a flange on the engine bearing block on
the engine.

5.2 Charging the lithium ion battery

Important!
The charging voltage that is generated by existing chargers that are designed for the lead-acid or
AGM battery is too high for the lithium ion battery.
This excessive charging voltage may in some cases result in that the separating switch of the
lithium ion battery will be opened. This does not damage the lithium ion battery. The separator
switch will close again when a charging voltage of < 14 V is applied at the battery terminals.
Before charging a lithium ion battery, adjust the charging voltage of existing charger adapters
once.

The battery may only be recharged by means of chargers that have been approved by BMW and that
have a constant charging voltage of 14.0 V.
If possible, the battery temperature should be between 15 °C and 25 °C during charging. Under these
preconditions, the battery is adequately charged when the charge current drops below 2.5 amps.
Do not charge lithium ion battery when temperature is below 5 °C!
The lithium ion battery can be charged via the jump start terminal points in the engine compartment as
well as directly on the battery terminals.

Battery recharging intervals for booth vehicles, battery charging calendars and
battery tags (12-V battery, high-voltage battery unit)
All models
Situation: Due to the self-discharging of the vehicle battery (12 V battery, high-voltage battery unit)
and vehicle standby current (if the vehicle battery was not disconnected from the vehicle
electrical system), the vehicle battery is discharged slowly, but continuously.
If the vehicle battery is not recharged for an extended period of time, it will be damaged. This will result in a
premature battery failure.
Measure: To maintain the quality of the vehicle battery in standing vehicles, it is necessary to
recharge this vehicle battery regularly.
Procedure: Recharging intervals:
12V battery
All vehicles:
12-V battery connected to the vehicle electrical system: 6 weeks
All vehicles without BMW i and Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV):
Continuous disconnection of the 12-V battery from the vehicle electrical system by removal of the

cardiagn.com
ground cable to the 12 V battery or by switching off of the fitted battery master switch, if installed:
12 weeks

High-voltage battery units:

All vehicles: 6 weeks
Plug-in-hybrid (PHEV): as required

The recharging intervals follow the battery charging calendar.

Recharge when the colour of the calendar week on the battery calendar matches the colour of the battery tag.
Battery tags are located on all new vehicles' interior mirror.
N.B.:
1. Since different systems are used by distribution channels for documentation, it is not always clear
whether the vehicle battery was actually recharged during the week that is indicated. Therefore all
recharge procedures must also be documented on the battery tag on the interior mirror (write date of
recharge with a smudge-proof pen and confirm that the work has been carried out with your
signature next to the date). The battery tag remains in the vehicle until the vehicle is handed over to
the customer and is then filed with the vehicle records.
2. Dealers who store the vehicles externally (e.g. at freight forwarding businesses) are responsible for
making sure that the vehicle batteries for these vehicles are recharged according to the battery
charging calendar.
3. For vehicles in show rooms, the battery tags must be placed in the glove box. In the case of an
increased draw on the charge (e.g. when doors are opened, the radio is turned on, electrical seat
adjustment is operated), much shorter recharging intervals are required on these vehicles (e.g. every
night) so that a total battery discharge is reliably avoided. It is however better to provide for charge
compensation by means of a permanent support charge in the showroom.

Automatic engine start-stop function
Manual gearbox
Situation: As a ”BMW EfficientDynamics” measure, the automatic engine start-stop function
(development code: Automatic Engine Start-Stop = MSA) helps to reduce fuel
consumption and CO2 emissions. The drive unit is switched off when the car halts e.g. at
traffic lights, by engaging neutral and disengaging the clutch. To restart it, it is sufficient to operate the clutch
pedal.
Vehicles concerned:Phased-in as from March 2007 in manual gearbox vehicles.
Note:
The automatic engine start-stop function is installed as standard on these vehicles.
Procedure: Functional sequence ASSF (automatic engine start-stop function)
Engine shutdown

The driver brakes the vehicle to a standstill (e.g. at traffic

lights).

cardiagn.com
The driver engages neutral and releases the clutch.

The engine cuts out automatically.

The ”Start/Stop” symbol appears in the instrument panel (see
”Display concept”).

Engine start

The driver wishes to resume the journey.

 The driver presses the clutch pedal.
The engine starts.

cardiagn.com
A gear can be engaged and the journey continued.
The ”Start/Stop” symbol in the instrument panel goes out and
the time and temperature appear (see ”Display concept”).

Prerequisites for an automatic engine shutdown

The automatic engine start-stop function will only stop or start the engine if certain conditions are met.
Engine shutdown
The engine is switched off when:
The vehicle is stationary (speed < 3 kph).
The vehicle has been driven at > 5 km/h since the engine was last stopped.
The vehicle has been driven at 5 km/h since the last change at terminal 15.
The manual gearbox is in neutral.
The clutch pedal is not pressed and the steering wheel not turned (steering wheel must be aligned
straight).
The engine speed is virtually at idle speed.
Engine start (with action by the driver)
The engine can be restarted by the driver with the aid of the automatic engine start-stop function if the driver
actively intervenes by pressing the clutch pedal down fully (or pressing the START‐STOP button).
Following this action by the driver, the engine will only start if the gearbox or transmission is in the neutral
positon and the drive train is not engaged.
Engine start (without action by the driver)
Without active intervention by the driver it may be necessary for the engine to be started (See also ”Switch-
on prompts”)
The engine starts without any action on the driver's part if:
The vehicle starts to roll (forwards or reverse).
The brake pressure falls below a defined threshold value.
The battery charge falls below a particular threshold value.
The condensation sensor detects condensation on the windscreen (IHKA).
With the air conditioning compressor switched on, the evaporator temperature rises above a particular
threshold value.
Note:
The aforementioned criteria apply only to the automatic engine start-stop function, in other words,
not if the engine has been switched off with the SST (START‐STOP button).
Switch-off inhibitors and switch-on prompts
Besides its main function of propelling the vehicle, the internal combustion engine has to provide other
auxiliary functions.
These auxiliary functions are necessary for maintaining operating safety and convenience functions and
complying with emissions requirements.
Certain conditions are therefore governed by switch-off inhibitors and switch-on prompts, either preventing the
engine from being stopped or prompting its restarting.
Note:
The customer should be alerted to possible switch-on prompts (engine starts without customer's

cardiagn.com
intervention)!
If for instance the evaporator temperature with the air conditioning is above a certain threshold value, this may
serve as a switch-off inhibitor or switch-on prompt.
Switch-off inhibitors
The engine continues to run even though the gear lever is in the idle position and the clutch pedal has been
fully released.
The following conditions act as switch-off inhibitors and prevent the engine from shutting down:
Air conditioning requirements:
Automatic air conditioning: MAX AC button pressed
Automatic air conditioning: Defrost button pressed (request to defrost the windscreen)
Air conditioning system: high blower speed and low blower temperature, compressor button
pressed
Air conditioning system: high blower speed and air distribution directed to windscreen, compressor
actuated
Ambient temperature ≤ 3 °C and with air conditioning activated > 30 °C
Engine coolant temperature below a particular value (depending on engine version approx. 20 ‐ 50 °C)
Carbon canister needs purging
Engine speed > 900 rpm
Battery condition:
State of charge too low
Measured battery state of charge not plausible
Battery temperature too high (approx. 50 °C)
Starting voltage drop from previous ASSF start too low
Partial vacuum in brakes not low enough
Steering wheel movements by the driver
Vehicle rolling
Switch-on requesters
The switch-on prompt is regarded as an automatic engine start and depends on the following conditions:
Battery condition ‐ battery charge too low
Air conditioning requirements ‐ cooling
Partial vacuum in brakes not low enough
Vehicle starting to roll.
Special features of switch-off inhibiting and switch-on request
Battery condition and on-board power supply
The battery condition is a key factor influencing whether switch-off inhibiting and/or switch-on requests are set.
The battery condition is calculated in the APM (Advanced Power Management). This function is integrated into
the engine control (see energy management) and has been specifically extended for the automatic engine
start-stop function.
The aim is to permit reliable starting of the combustion engine after a defined immobilisation period, in terms of
the on-board power supply. Before the combustion engine is switched off, a reliable prediction of the minimum
usable, absolute residual capacity and the minimum voltage level in a subsequent hot start is made. The APM
calculates the condition of the electrical on-board power supply based on the battery condition.
If the battery's charge condition drops into the red zone after the engine has been switched off by the
automatic engine start-stop function, the automatic engine start-stop function starts the engine.
Air conditioning requirements (heating mode / air conditioning operation)
If the coolant temperature is well below the target outlet temperature (heating-up mode), this is treated as a
switch-off inhibitor. In the heating mode, the electric auxiliary water pump (N47) and electric main water pump
(N43) are activated upon an ASSF engine shutdown. This is prompted by the heating and air conditioning
controls via the bus system.
In the event of an ASSF engine shutdown, climatic comfort may be reduced (formation of humidity/odours)
because the air conditioning compressor is not running and consequently delivers no cooling power.
If the evaporator temperature rises above a threshold value during the ASSF engine shutdown when the air
conditioning is switched on, this is treated as a switch-on prompt and the engine starts automatically.

cardiagn.com
If the condensation sensor measures a value that suggests condensation, with the automatic air conditioning
switched on, the automatic engine start-stop function is suppressed (switch-off inhibiting). If this occurs during
an ASSF engine shutdown, a switch-on request is issued.
Insufficient braking pressure
To ensure that there is always sufficient braking effect (including when the engine is shut down), the partial
vacuum in the brake servo must always be monitored. If necessary, the engine is started automatically as
soon as the partial vacuum falls below 500 hPa during an ASSF engine stop.
Steering servo
The engine will not be switched off for as long as the steering wheel is being turned. Steering servo is always
assured. Only when the automatic engine start-stop function ceases to identify any movement of the steering
wheel via the steering column switch cluster can the engine be switched off. This information is provided via
the bus system.
Safety requirements
Protection against automatic engine starting while working in the engine compartment:
If the bonnet is opened, the automatic engine start-stop function is deactivated to prevent an automatic
engine start while working in the engine compartment.
Renewed starting is always possible via the start/stop button.
The automatic engine start-stop function can be reactivated after the bonnet is closed and either the
engine has been started or a speed of > 5 km/h has been reached.
Protection if the vehicle is left
If the driver leaves the vehicle, the automatic engine start-stop function is deactivated to prevent the
engine from starting automatically.
The driver's seat belt buckle is monitored to this end.
The automatic engine start-stop function is deactivated when the driver's seat belt buckle is released. An
ASSF engine shutdown is only permitted again once it has been identified that the driver's seat belt
buckle is fastened and either the engine has been restarted or a speed of > 5 km/h has been reached
once (only switch-off inhibitor).
The status of the seat belt buckle switch is indicated by the safety system via the bus system.
Important!
Even if the seat belt is not fastened and the bonnet is open, the engine can still start if the
vehicle's speed exceeds 5 km/h.
Protection when vehicle moving
An engine shutdown must never take place while the vehicle is moving. An engine shutdown is only possible
at a speed of less than 3 km/h.
There is also a protective feature to prevent an automatic engine start with the power transmission engaged. If
the drive train is engaged on a vehicle, an automatic engine start is prevented. The zero-position sensor in
the transmission monitors whether or not power transmission has been interrupted.
System-related deactivation of the automatic engine start-stop function
The Auto Start Stop function may also be deactivated for system-based reasons (the engine remains off).
This is indicated to the driver by a CC message in the dashboard when a start is requested. There may be the
following reasons for system-based deactivation:
Set belt buckle signal
Engine compartment lid contact switch
Engine emergency running
Implausible sensor or bus signals when vehicle tow-started.
Ignition key is no longer detected (Comfort Access).
Note:
Engine running and key taken out of vehicle ‐ no ASSF engine shutdown
Engine in ASSF engine shutdown status and key taken out of vehicle ‐ no ASSF engine
start

cardiagn.com
The engine can only be started by the driver pressing the start/stop button.
Deactivation via a safety function
If the Auto Start Stop function is deactivated by a safety function during an ASSF engine stop, the engine can
only be restarted via the start/stop button and from a speed of 5 km/h.
Deactivation by system fault (emergency-run concept)
If a fault is detected in the system network of the automatic engine start-stop function (signal inputs, bus
signals etc.), a switch-off inhibitor is set or the automatic engine start-stop function deactivated.
Fault recognition while the engine is running thus prevents any subsequent engine stops by the automatic
engine start-stop function. In the event of a fault recognition in an engine stopped by the automatic engine
start-stop function, a distinction is made between the following instances.
1. If safety-relevant faults are identified (fault in zero-position sensor, brake vacuum sensor, clutch sensor,
enable line, engine compartment lid contact switch or driver's seat belt buckle), the automatic engine
start-stop function is deactivated immediately and an automatic ASSF engine start is no longer
permitted.
2. If other faults DME/DDE emergency operation, etc.) that are not safety-critical are identified, the next
ASSF engine start is still permitted. No further ASSF engine shutdowns are permitted.
3. The automatic engine start-stop function is disabled in the event of faulty bus communication with the
DME/DDE engine control.
Note:
If the automatic engine start-stop function is deactivated by a system fault, a CC message
(ID397) is flashed up in the instrument panel (see display concept).
Deactivation by external factors
If the seat belt buckle or bonnet are opened during an ASSF engine stop, the automatic engine start-stop
function is deactivated and an engine start is only possible with the Start/Stop button or from a speed of >
5 km/h. If the driver attempts to start the engine by pressing the clutch pedal, the CC message ID450 is
flashed up after 1 to 2 seconds (see "Display concept").

Deactivation by ASSF button

Note:
The graphic shows the pushbutton (1) still showing the development code MSA (Automatic
Engine Start-Stop).
 For correct designation, see under ”Pressing the ASSF button”

The automatic engine start-stop function can be deactivated manually with the ASSF button (1). The automatic
engine start-stop function is activated with every terminal change (terminal 15 on) and with the engine
stationary or if the ASSF button (1) is pressed repeatedly. The signal from the ASSF button (1) is read in by

cardiagn.com
the IHKA and passed on to the engine control. The indicator light in the ASSF button (1) is actuated by the
IHKA.

Pressing the ASSF button:

ASSF button not pressed (1) ‐ LED off
ASSF button pressed (2) (the automatic engine start-stop
function can be deactivated at the customer's request) ‐ LED
on.

The automatic engine start-stop function is active each time the engine has been restarted.
Display concept
The following displays are used in conjunction with the automatic engine start-stop function:

If the engine can be started via the ASSF function, this status
is indicated permanently in the instrument panel.
If the customer wishes to display the temperature and time,
they can change over the display by pressing the BC roller.

If there is a fault in the ASSF hardware that causes the automatic engine start-stop function to be
deactivated, a CC message is displayed.
Text of CC message:”Automatic Start/Stop failure” (ID397).
 If the automatic engine start-stop function is deactivated in
order to assure operational reliability (”seat belt buckle
unfastened”), a further CC message is displayed as soon as
there is a switch-on prompt.
Text of CC message:”Automatic Start/Stop failure” (ID450).

cardiagn.com
Notes for Service department
The automatic engine start-stop function will only operate under certain conditions.
The function includes an automatic feature that examines the safety and comfort-based conditions that govern
an engine start or engine shutdown.
Note:
In the event of customer queries, always check these conditions against the Checklist in Annex
1.
Important!
If the engine compartment lid contact switch is over-extended (workshop mode), the information
”switch closed” is given. The automatic engine start-stop function is active.
An automatic engine start is possible.
Terminal 15 is automatically switched off via the signal from the door contact by opening or closing
the driver's door with ASSF deactivated (e.g. ”seat belt unfastened”) and the driving lights
switched off.
Terminal 15 can be permanently switched on again by subsequently pressing the START-STOP
button.
Perform this process before the vehicle programming or diagnosis.
The automatic engine start-stop function is dependent on information from the energy management. In the
event of the battery being changed or after every flashing process, the reference data on the charge and
quality status of the battery may be lost. They will only be available again after a teach-in period of approx. 6
hours (bus system must be in sleep mode). The automatic engine start-stop function cannot be activated
during this teach-in phase for reasons of reliability.
Faults stored in the ASSF system fundamentally result in the automatic engine start-stop function being
deactivated. Before renewing parts, always perform a functional check to exclude the possibility of a
malfunctioning sensor!
After working on vehicles with the automatic engine start-stop function involving one of the following actions,
the automatic engine start-stop function is switched off until the new standby current/battery parameters have
been learned.
In the following instances, the customer's attention should be drawn to the delay until the next ASSF engine
shutdown:
After disconnecting the battery
After programming the engine control (note exceptions).
Be sure to observe the safety precautions when working on vehicles with automatic engine start-stop
function! Before performing work on the engine, always make sure that the automatic engine start-stop
function is switched off to prevent an automatic engine start while working in the engine compartment!
The automatic engine start-stop function is deactivated by:
ASSF button
Seat belt buckle
Engine emergency running
Open the engine hood
In most test modules in which individual component functions and/or lines are checked rather than the
automatic engine start-stop function, the automatic engine start-stop function is switched off until the next
terminal change for reasons of safety. This takes place automatically, i.e. a job that temporarily deactivates the
automatic engine start-stop function is performed without the Service technician being able to influence
events.
Important!
In the event of a fault in the seat belt buckle, engine compartment lid contact switch or ASSF
button, the automatic engine start-stop function is not deactivated automatically. This could
potentially result in the engine starting automatically while servicing work is being carried out in the
engine compartment.
Be sure to observe the safety precautions when working on vehicles with automatic engine start-
stop function!

cardiagn.com
To prevent an automatic engine start while working in the engine compartment, always make sure
that the automatic engine start-stop function is switched off via ”Deactivate ASSF button/release
seat belt buckle and bonnet”.
If it cannot be guaranteed that the automatic engine start-stop function is switched off, for
reasons of safety it is prohibited to continue working.

Prerequisites of an automatic engine shutdown

The automatic engine start-stop function will only stop or start the engine if certain prerequisites are met.
Engine shutdown
The engine is switched off when:
The vehicle is stationary (speed < 0 kmh).
The engine speed is virtually at idle speed.
The vehicle has been driven at > 10 km/h since the engine was last shut down.
The vehicle has been driven at 10 km/h since the last change at terminal 15.
The brake is pressed.
Steering wheel movement is not moved. Steering wheel must be aligned straight.
Engine start
The engine is started automatically when:

cardiagn.com
Brake pedal is released or the accelerator pedal is pressed.
Note:
The aforementioned criteria apply only to the automatic engine start-stop function, in other words,
not if the engine has been switched off with the SST (START‐STOP button).
Switch-off inhibitors and switch-on prompts
Besides its main function of propelling the vehicle, the internal combustion engine has to provide other
auxiliary functions.
These auxiliary functions are necessary for maintaining operating safety and convenience functions and
complying with emissions requirements.
Certain prerequisites are therefore governed by switch-off inhibitors and switch-on prompts, either preventing
the engine from being shut down or prompting an engine restart.
Note:
The customer should be alerted to possible switch-on prompts (engine starts without customer's
intervention)!
Switch-off inhibitors
The engine continues running although the vehicle is at standstill and held with the brake pedal.
The following preconditions act as switch-off inhibitors and prevent the engine from shutting down:
Engine adaptation (e.g. cylinder adjustment)
Regeneration of the diesel particulate filter
Carbon canister needs purging
Insufficient knock resistance of fuel
Engine fault

Battery master document
All model series
Situation: The electrical system of BMW vehicles has been subject to an ongoing development
process over the last few years. This has led to increased demands being placed on the
battery. This document summarises all important information about how the battery should
be handled in the dealership.
Procedure: The complaint ”flat battery” can have various causes, most of which do not concern the
battery itself. For that reason, replacing the battery will only very rarely provide a
permanent solution to the problem. The cause must be properly analysed in order to
perform a repair that actually rectifies the cause.
Below you will find list of the available auxiliary materials. These must be worked through step-by-step to
investigate the problem. The documents listed can be accessed via hotspots.
1. Fault (cause) analysis (energy diagnosis)
Fundamentally, the following causes are possible for a breakdown resulting from a flat battery or problems in
the vehicle's electrical power supply:
Vehicle faults
Battery defective / alternator fault
Vehicle does not ”go to sleep”

cardiagn.com
Vehicle keeps being woken up
Excessive standby current
Operating error
Side lights/parking lights/hazard warning flashers left on too long
Terminal R/15 left on too long
Unreasonable driving/usage profile
An unreasonable driving profile (e.g. extremely short distances) or an unreasonable usage profile (.e.g. too
long immobilisation period, use of auxiliary consumers) represents a very frequent cause of running down the
battery without there being a fault with the vehicle or battery.
If in these cases the battery is not charged sufficiently during driving, a charger must be connected during the
immobilisation period (recommended chargers with cable permanently connected to battery, see BMW Group
Parts).
Attention!
Do not connect the chargers to the 12 V charging socket on the vehicle side. The vehicle electrical system is
thus prevented from "going to sleep" and the battery from being discharged.
The installation of a larger battery or an AGM battery can be used to rectify this (if an AGM battery has not yet
been installed).
Customers who have no option to connect a charger to their vehicle during the immobilisation period are
recommended, as the only alternative in reaching a state of charge that is too low, to travel distances of at
least 10 km.

For the following vehicles the energy diagnosis test procedure must be worked through in the event of
the complaint “flat battery”:
E65, E66, E67 from model year 03/2004,
E60, E61, E63, E64, E70, E71, E72, E81, E82, E84, E87, E88, E89, E90, E91, E92, E93,
All F Series from F01,
BMW i
All MINIs from R55,
RR04,
Note:
The aim of energy diagnosis is to identify the most probable cause for a breakdown caused by a
 flat battery or for problems in the vehicle's electrical power supply. The causes listed above are
stored in energy diagnosis.
To enable the applicant to use the correct defect code, make sure that both the customer's
statement and the diagnosis results are adequately documented. These must be made available
to the applicant.
Text search in ISTA or path: Function Structure > 03 Body > Voltage supply > Energy diagnosis
For all other model series:
For series without energy diagnosis, the customer shall be interviewed to make sure the operator errors
described above can be ruled out as the cause of the battery discharging.

An on-board diagnosis is available to evaluate the battery condition of vehicles with intelligent battery
sensor (IBS) or battery electronics (lithium ion battery):
All BMW and MINI F series from series introduction
Exception: F01, F02, F03 up to 09/2010, F04
BMW i
RR04

The following criteria are analysed to evaluate state of charge:

cardiagn.com
Capacity loss
Charge balance
Complete discharges
Operational energy capacity through automatic engine start-stop function (MSA)
Water loss

The battery condition is determined for the following vehicles with intelligent battery sensor (IBS)by
evaluation of the operational energy capacity and the voltage dip at engine start:
all BMW E-series
F01, F02, F03 up to 09/2010, F04
all MINI R-series

For vehicles with automatic engine start-stop system, if this function is not fully available:
Important!
The prerequisite for invoicing a battery through the warranty channel is to work through the test
module.
Energy diagnosis through to the diagnosis result:
Displaying of cause
Displaying of help instructions
Displaying of corresponding diagnosis code
Exceptions are:
Obvious battery damage and leakage
Use the correct defect code in such situations (61 21 00 49 or 61 21 00 01).
Use of BMW Group Mobile Service and battery replacement on site to restore customer mobility as
quickly as possible.

4. Battery replacement
In the following vehicles the new battery needs to be registered via the diagnosis system:
Always:
E65, E66, E67,
F80, F82, F83,
Providing an intelligent battery sensor (IBS) is fitted (depends on vehicle equipment):
E60, E61, E63, E64, E70, E71, E72, E81, E82, E84, E87, E88, E89, E90, E91, E92, E93,
All F Series from F01,
BMW i
All MINIs from R55,
RR04,
Important!
If the new battery is not registered, incorrect readings may appear in the display of the on-board
computer due to previous data in the power management system (check control message
"Recharge battery" appears even though the battery is new).

Only AGM batteries should be installed in the following vehicles:

E65, E66, E67,
F01, F02, F03, F04, F06, F07, F10, F11, F12, F13, F18,
BMW i
 Vehicles with auxiliary heater (SA536), intelligent generator control or automatic engine start-stop
function.

Only lithium ion batteries should be installed in the following vehicles:

F80, F82, F83

5. Battery charging
5.1 Charging the lead-acid-battery or the AGM battery
The battery may only be recharged by means of chargers that have been approved by BMW and that
have a constant charging voltage of 14.8 V.
If possible, the battery temperature should be between 15 °C and 25 °C during charging. Under these
preconditions, the battery is adequately charged when the charge current drops below 2.5 amps.
If the battery is recharged at lower temperatures, the process should not be ended until the charge
current drops below 1.5 amps.
On vehicles with IBS, recharging the battery directly at the battery terminals could lead to a
misinterpretation of the battery condition and even unwanted Check Control messages or fault entries.
If the battery is recharged while it is installed, it must be recharged using the jump start terminal points,
whenever jump start terminal points are provided in the engine compartment. Only then can you be sure
that recharging is correctly recognised by the vehicle electronics on vehicles with intelligent battery

cardiagn.com
sensor (IBS).
Exception: MINI from R55: These vehicles do not have any jump start terminal points in the engine
compartment.
On these vehicles, the positive terminal of the battery charger must be directly connected to the battery.
On vehicles with a petrol engine, the negative terminal can be connected to the lifting eye (suspension
lug) on the transmission and on vehicles with diesel engines to a flange on the engine bearing block on
the engine.

5.2 Charging the lithium ion battery

Important!
The charging voltage that is generated by existing chargers that are designed for the lead-acid or
AGM battery is too high for the lithium ion battery.
This excessive charging voltage may in some cases result in that the separating switch of the
lithium ion battery will be opened. This does not damage the lithium ion battery. The separator
switch will close again when a charging voltage of < 14 V is applied at the battery terminals.
Before charging a lithium ion battery, adjust the charging voltage of existing charger adapters
once.

The battery may only be recharged by means of chargers that have been approved by BMW and that
have a constant charging voltage of 14.0 V.
If possible, the battery temperature should be between 15 °C and 25 °C during charging. Under these
preconditions, the battery is adequately charged when the charge current drops below 2.5 amps.
Do not charge lithium ion battery when temperature is below 5 °C!
The lithium ion battery can be charged via the jump start terminal points in the engine compartment as
well as directly on the battery terminals.

Battery recharging intervals for booth vehicles, battery charging calendars and
battery tags (12-V battery, high-voltage battery unit)
All models
Situation: Due to the self-discharging of the vehicle battery (12 V battery, high-voltage battery unit)
and vehicle standby current (if the vehicle battery was not disconnected from the vehicle
electrical system), the vehicle battery is discharged slowly, but continuously.
If the vehicle battery is not recharged for an extended period of time, it will be damaged. This will result in a
premature battery failure.
Measure: To maintain the quality of the vehicle battery in standing vehicles, it is necessary to
recharge this vehicle battery regularly.
Procedure: Recharging intervals:
12V battery
All vehicles:
12-V battery connected to the vehicle electrical system: 6 weeks
All vehicles without BMW i and Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV):
Continuous disconnection of the 12-V battery from the vehicle electrical system by removal of the

cardiagn.com
ground cable to the 12 V battery or by switching off of the fitted battery master switch, if installed:
12 weeks

High-voltage battery units:

All vehicles: 6 weeks
Plug-in-hybrid (PHEV): as required

The recharging intervals follow the battery charging calendar.

Recharge when the colour of the calendar week on the battery calendar matches the colour of the battery tag.
Battery tags are located on all new vehicles' interior mirror.
N.B.:
1. Since different systems are used by distribution channels for documentation, it is not always clear
whether the vehicle battery was actually recharged during the week that is indicated. Therefore all
recharge procedures must also be documented on the battery tag on the interior mirror (write date of
recharge with a smudge-proof pen and confirm that the work has been carried out with your
signature next to the date). The battery tag remains in the vehicle until the vehicle is handed over to
the customer and is then filed with the vehicle records.
2. Dealers who store the vehicles externally (e.g. at freight forwarding businesses) are responsible for
making sure that the vehicle batteries for these vehicles are recharged according to the battery
charging calendar.
3. For vehicles in show rooms, the battery tags must be placed in the glove box. In the case of an
increased draw on the charge (e.g. when doors are opened, the radio is turned on, electrical seat
adjustment is operated), much shorter recharging intervals are required on these vehicles (e.g. every
night) so that a total battery discharge is reliably avoided. It is however better to provide for charge
compensation by means of a permanent support charge in the showroom.

IHKA control panel: LED in A/C button flashes
All models with integrated automatic heating and air conditioning (option 534)
Complaints: After a new IHKA control panel has been installed, the LED in the A/C button flashes.

Cause: The flashing of the LED in the A/C button indicates that the automatic air-conditioning
system is in the compressor protection mode. This protective function is intended to
ensure an adequate refrigerant distribution the first time the air conditioner is operated (in
the vehicle factory), before the engine is revved up.
The spare part is identical to the IHKA control panel used in series production. For this reason, the said
protection mode is always active the first time a new IHKA control panel is installed. The LED in the A/C button
will then flash continually until the A/C compressor has been engaged for about 90 seconds at an engine
speed of less than 1500 rpm.
Affected vehicles:All models with integrated automatic heating and air conditioning (option 534)

Procedure: After a new IHKA control panel has been installed, the air conditioner must be run
continually with the engine at idling speed until the LED in the A/C button stops flashing.
Under certain marginal conditions (e.g. very low ambient temperatures), it is possible that
the A/C compressor is not permanently active. In such cases, the LED in the A/C button can continue flashing

for several minutes.

Musty odour from heating and air conditioning system, evaporator cleaning
All model series
Complaint: When operating the heating and air conditioning system, a musty odour briefly occurs in
the vehicle. This occurs mostly immediately after starting the engine with the air
conditioning switched on or after switching off the air conditioning while driving.
Cause: The cause for the customer complaint is not a fault in the air conditioning of the vehicle.
The formation of odour is due to environmental factor during the operating period of the
heating and air conditioning system.
The constant condensation of air humidity at the evaporator over a long operating period of the heating and air
conditioning system creates a favourable environment for bacteria and other micro-organisms.
Together with dirt contamination brought in by the fresh air, this may cause microbiological growth on the
evaporator and consequently a musty odour.
Regularly changing the microfilter may reduce the entry of dirt contamination and therefore delay or prevent
the development of aforementioned customer complaint.
Replacement of the evaporator has no continuous effect as microbiological organisms may redevelop.
Invoicing as warranty is not justifiable as there is no technical fault.

cardiagn.com
Vehicles concerned:All series with air conditioning (IHKR) or automatic air conditioning (IHKA).

Procedure: 1. Evaporator cleaning with spray lance

The most efficient and lasting method of eliminating the musty odour from the air
conditioning is to clean the evaporator with the aid of a spray lance. With this procedure,
the disinfectant is sprayed with high pressure directly on the evaporator.

2. Cleaning with the evaporator cleaning device "Aircomatic"

As an alternative, the evaporator can be cleaned using the "Aircomatic" cleaning system made by WYNN’S.
For this purpose, use the "Airco-Clean" cleaning agent made by the same company.
WYNN’S describes this procedure as "Ultrasound procedure".
The cleaning power using the "ultrasound procedure" is lower as compared to cleaning with a spray lance.
If the "ultrasound procedure" does not bring long-term success due to very severe dirt contamination of the
evaporator, clean the evaporator using a spray lance and the heating and air conditioning system cleaning
agent.

Note:
This procedure is to be used for vehicles for which no spray lance is offered.

Description of the operations:

Remove microfilter (replace with new filter after cleaning)
Start the vehicle
Switch on air conditioning
Set temperature control to lowest value
For automatic air conditioning (IHKA): Switch off automatic air distribution/supply
Select the lowest fan speed
Set ventilation to upper body area
Adjust air supply to air recirculation function
Shake the "Airco-Clean" bottle well
Place the ultrasound device upside down

cardiagn.com
Screw in the "Airco-Clean" bottle with its opening facing upwards into the device
Return ultrasound device to initial position allowing the contents of the bottle to partially flow into the
device
Place the ultrasound device in the footwell on the passenger's side
Connect the atomisation hose to the device
Place the atomisation hose so that the recirculated air system can take in the emitted vapour well
Do not kink the hose!
Connect the ultrasound device using the included cable
Atomisation starts!
Close vehicle doors and side windows

Attention:
No one must remain in the vehicle during treatment!

Treatment is complete after approx. 20 minutes and the ultrasound device stops
After treatment, open doors and air the vehicle for approx. 5 minutes
After treatment pour out the residual liquid in the ultrasound device
Briefly rinse the ultrasound device with water
