SITUATION
A yellow CCM (Check Control Message) ID 415 is displayed"Increased battery drain! // Battery. Electrostatic discharge at standstill / start engine. Energy
management"
The results of the Energy Diagnosis test plan identifies the Controller as the root cause of the CCM.

CAUSE
The Controller delays the vehicle going to sleep by up to 6 minutes. In some cases, this will cause the CCM
415 to be displayed when starting the vehicle.
Replacing the Controller in this case will not correct this situation.

CORRECTION
Carry out diagnosis with ISTA and run the Energy Diagnosis test plan. If the Controller is identified as the
root cause of the CCM in the results, program the vehicle if the I-level is lower than 19-11-530.

PROCEDURE
1. Is CCM 415 displayed in the vehicle or read out during the key read?
Yes: Proceed to the next step.
No: This SI B does not apply. Continue with standard diagnosis.
2. Perform Energy Diagnosis. Does Energy Diagnosis results indicate that the Controller is the cause of
the CCM?
Yes: Proceed to next step.

If you are using a Main labor code for another repair, use the Plus code labor operation 00 00 556 instead of
00 00 006.
Refer to AIR for the corresponding flat rate unit (FRU) allowances.
Programming and Encoding - Vehicle Control Units (RO and Claim Comments Required)
The programming procedure automatically reprograms and encodes all vehicle control modules which do
not have the latest software I-level. If one or more control module failures occur during this programming
procedure:

Please claim this consequential control module-related repair work (including performing the
IRAP Control Unit Recovery procedure first as required, refer to the SIB in AIR) under the
defect code listed in this bulletin with the applicable AIR labor operations.
Please explain this additional work (The why and what) on the repair order and in the claim comments
section
For control module failures that occurred prior to performing this programming procedure:

When covered under an applicable limited warranty, claim the applicable test plan and the
corresponding control module-related repair work using the applicable defect code and labor
operations in AIR (including diagnosis with separate punch times).
Other Repairs
If other eligible and covered work is performed as a result of performing the ISTA diagnostics and related
test plans, claim this work with the applicable defect code and the labor operations that are listed in AIR
(including diagnosis with separate punch times).
