SUBJECT
Electric Mirrors Inoperative
MODEL
E46 (3 Series) with M56 engine
Vehicles with manual seats, produced from March 03, 2003.
SITUATION
1. After deleting Transport Mode, the electric exterior mirrors are inoperative.
2. The vehicle wiring does not match the description in DIS.
CAUSE
1. Coding data error associated with the introduction of LIN-bus mirrors.
2. Diagnostic information for LIN-bus mirrors was omitted from DIS CD33 and 34.
CORRECTION
Corrected coding data and diagnostic information will be introduced with CD35 (released approximately September 2003).
As an interim fix, add option code 459 (memory seats) to the General Module (ZKE). This will restore functionality to the electric exterior mirrors.
Note:
With the addition of option code 459 to the ZKE, any Vehicle and Key Memory (VKM) settings associated with the ZKE will be lost. Also, any further changes to other VKM settings will not be possible.
PROCEDURE
1. Set any required VKM settings (except any controlled by the ZKB)
2. Refer to SI B09 03 01 (steps 8 - 11) and add option 459 to the vehicle order.
3. Recode the ZKE.
4. Refer to SI B09 03 01 (steps 8 - 11) and delete option 459 from the vehicle order.
For further information on the operation and functional description of LIN-bus mirrors, refer to the 2003 System Diagnosis (ST047) Training Reference Manual on the TIS website.
