SUBJECT
Luggage Compartment Roller Cover Malfunction
MODEL
E61 (5 Series Sport Wagon) equipped with Automatic Tailgate Operation (option 316), produced from 2/06 through 5/06
SITUATION
On vehicles equipped with the automatic tailgate operation, the luggage compartment roller cover may malfunction in the following ways:
1. Roller cover opens but does not automatically close again.
2. Roller cover may begin to close, stop, and then spring back up again.
3. Roller cover stops during its travel.
CAUSE
This situation is caused by failure of the luggage compartment cover electric drive or a fault in the LCPA (Roller Cover Module).
CORRECTION
An updated roller cover electric drive and LCPA are available.
PROCEDURE
In case of customer complaint, follow the recommendations described below.
1. Remove the roller cover drive and check the production index of the drive, as indicated by the arrow. If the production index is 01, the drive should be replaced.
2. If the drive is going to be replaced, it is also necessary to remove an adapter harness if it's fitted. Inspect for this adapter on the inside of the tailgate, between the soft-close device (1) and the wiring harness at connector X1211 (2).
If this adapter is present, it must be removed.
3. Code the KGM (Basic Body Module) using Progman V21.01 or higher.
4. If these measures do not restore function to the roller cover, replace the LCPA.
