SUBJECT
Clock Runs Extremely Slow or Not At All After Resetting

MODEL
F30

Produced from July 1, 2012 to September 30, 2012

With option ZTP (Technology Package)

SITUATION
After resetting the clock time following a battery disconnect or discharged, the clock time (minutes) advances at very slow rate. For example, the clock time advances only 1 or 2 minutes per hour instead of 60.

CAUSE
Instrument cluster application error

PROCEDURE

1. After resetting the clock time, verify the clock time is advancing at a normal rate (after 5 or 10 minutes).

2. If the clock time is not advancing correctly, perform a battery reset; recheck that the clock is now functioning correctly.

3. If the problem is still present, replace the instrument cluster.

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 / Workshop Technology / Vehicle Programming.

Note:
When the ISTA system message displays: Battery voltage only "XX.XX" V. Please connect charger. Please note the displayed battery voltage reading in the repair order comments section.
