SI B36 02 07Wheels and Tires
September 2007
Technical Service
PERFORM THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THIS SERVICE INFORMATION ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES THE NEXT TIME THEY ARE IN THE SHOP FOR MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS.
SUBJECT
Service Action: Reprogram the Control Module for the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (RDC)
MODEL
E90, E91, E92, E93 (3 Series)
SITUATION
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (RDC) measures the tire pressures at each of the four wheels. The system utilizes a warning lamp, mounted in the instrument cluster, to alert the driver of a low tire pressure condition. Under rare conditions after the tire pressures have been lowered, additional steps must be taken to reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
This Service Action involves 3 Series vehicles which were produced from February 20, 2007 through April 19, 2007.
In order to determine if a specific vehicle is affected by this Service Action, it will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System) or the Key Reader. Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action.
The Chassis Number Ranges listed are only for informational purposes and are not to be considered as the only deciding factor.
PROCEDURE
Update the complete vehicle per SI B09 05 01 (Coding, Individualization, Programming) Procedure B, using Progman 26.02.01 or higher.
LABEL INSTRUCTIONS
This Service Action has been assigned code number 498. After the vehicle has been checked, and corrected if necessary, obtain a label (SD 92-335) and:
a. emboss your BMW dealer warranty number in the middle of the label (1);
b. punch out code number 498 (2) printed on the label and,
c. affix the label to the B pillar as shown.
If the vehicle already has a label from a previous Service Action/Recall Campaign, affix the new label next to the old one. Do not affix one label on top of another one because a number from an underlying label could appear in the punched-out hole of the new label.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
Covered under the terms of the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
