CAUSE

The wiring harness below the micro filter housing (right front area of the bulkhead) is damaged
from washer fluid leaking into the harness.
CORRECTION

Check and replace the right front “repair” wiring harness (improved part) listed below.
PROCEDURE

1. Perform a vehicle test with ISTA and if the faults listed above are stored, proceed to the
next step.
2. Inspect the wiring for damage.
3. Remove the right front wheel and wheel arch cover.
4. Remove the micro filter housing.
5. Inspect the harness coming though the bulkhead in the right front engine compartment area
for any signs of swollen wires (remove the electrical tape to expose the wires).
6.

If the wires are swollen, refer to the attached procedure to install a repair wiring harness
and to check and correct the washer fluid line leak.

Always connect a BMW approved battery charger / power supply(SI B04 23 10).

approved battery charger/power supply
and performing a vehicle test) (Plus
work)
Other Repairs
If the wiring is found not to be the cause and performing the ISTA diagnostics and related test
plans results with other eligible and covered work, claim this work with the applicable defect code
and labor operations listed in KSD2.
Overlapping Labor – Other Repairs
When other repair work is being performed with this repair work and if claiming the corresponding
labor operations results in overlapping labor, invoice and claim work time labor operation 00 50
000 for the “additional time (FRU)” to perform the other repair instead (minus the overlap).
On the repair order and in the claim comment section, please identify the labor operations that labor
operation code 00 50 000 replaces and itemize the claimed FRU amount.
Work time labor operation code 00 50 000 is not considered a Main labor operation.
When work time labor operation 00 50 000 is used for work that will be claimed under a different
defect code, separate punch time(s) are required.
