THIS REPAIR IS MOBILE FRIENDLY

MODEL
E-Series
i20

Model Description
iX M60 Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV),
Battery Electric Vehicle

Production Date
February 18, 2022 – October 23,
2023

SITUATION
There may be erroneous fault entries for the electric fan (E-FAN) in the Combined Charging Unit (CCU) in iX
M60 Sports Activity Vehicles built from February 18, 2022 – October 23, 2023.

CAUSE
Erroneous fault codes are stored in the CCU-

BA0072 - electric fan, shutdown path test: failed
224F8F - Feature: Service requirements coming soon

Additionally, these may be accompanied by a yellow Check Control message (CCM) “Visit BMW workshop”.
This CCM may have disappeared the next time the vehicle was started.
These erroneous faults may be due to an error in the CCU software.

CORRECTION
Program the CCU.
Important Warning for Working on the High-Voltage (HV) systems on BMW Group vehicles:
Only properly trained personnel, who passed all applicable HV Technical Training Courses, should
perform repairs which require disconnecting, or removal of High Voltage battery components on any
Hybrid or Electric Vehicle. Work performed on High Voltage systems by unqualified persons may
result in severe injury or damage to the vehicle. Additional safety information is found in Repair
Instruction 61 00… “Observe safety instructions when handling electric vehicles”.
Prior to disconnecting, or the removal of any HV component, the HV system needs to be disabled and
secured (by means of the HV Service Disconnect Switch and lock out) by a properly trained HV technician,
who has a minimum HV Qualification level after completing the Technical Training Course “ST2324 High
Voltage Drivetrain Systems” which as of 1/2023* includes ST1824 Alternative Drive Part 1.

* Note: As of January 2023, the HV component portion of the “ST2205 Generation 5 High-voltage
class” (except for the High Voltage Battery) has been merged into “ST2324 High Voltage Drivetrain
Systems”.
Up to Generation 4 Vehicles once vehicle’s HV system is disabled (the “Blitz” - lightning bolt icon is displayed
in instrument cluster, see below), a technician without HV Certification may remove a HV component (e.g., EH
Heater, EKK Compressor, EME Control Unit, et.), except for the High Voltage Battery.
For Generation 5 Vehicles however, the specific vehicle training is required to diagnose, remove, and service
any HV component, and it is NOT allowed for non HV certified technicians to work on the high voltage
system.

61 26 23_SERVICE ACTION: COMBINED CHARGING UNIT

High Voltage Battery removal and rework can ONLY be performed by a High-voltage Certified
Technician with a HV Battery Certification level corresponding to a specific Electric or Hybrid vehicle,
for example:
To repair GEN4 HV battery of G05 PHEV a certification from Technical Training Course “ST2006 – SP44
HV Battery” or equivalent ST1825 – Alternative Drive Part 2 is required (or as of 1/2023 the equivalent
“ST 2325 for High Voltage Battery Systems”).
And
To repair A GEN5 HV battery the Technical Training Course “ST2205 Generation 5 High-voltage class”
is required or as of 1/2023* the equivalent “ST 2325 for High Voltage Battery Systems”.
*Note: As of January 2023, the “ST2205 Generation 5 High-voltage stand-alone class” has been
merged into “ST2324 for High Voltage Drivetrain Systems” and “ST2325 for High Voltage Battery
Systems.”

PROCEDURE
Program the complete vehicle using ISTA 4.43.4x (released October 12, 2023) to I-level l020-23-11-520, or
higher.
Note that ISTA will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not
have the latest software.
Do NOT plug in the high-voltage battery charger.
Always connect a BMW-approved 12 Volt battery charger/power supply (SI B04 23 10) when performing
programming
For information on programming and coding with ISTA, refer to CenterNet / TIS / Technical Documentation /
Programming and Diagnostics / Programming Documentation
Follow the Measures Plan and program the complete vehicle
Depending on the rework list, carry out a vehicle test and delete the fault memory, if required
Disconnect the 12 Volt battery charger/power supply

Note:
No further system change is required after the integration of the programming in ISTA 4. Please check
the rework list accordingly!
ISTA 4.43.4x with installed service data package is required for the programming/encoding.
The fault elimination is included from I-level I020-23-11-520 or higher (available from ISTA 4.43.4x,
released Oct. 12, 2023

This procedure automatically reprograms and encodes any vehicle control modules that do not have the latest
software I-level.
If one or more control modules fail during the reprogramming procedure, claim the required consequential
repair work procedures to address this issue (including performing the IRAP Control Unit Recovery first as
required, refer to the SIB in AIR) under the Repair Code in this bulletin with the labor operations that apply.
Please explain the additional work procedures that were performed (The why and the what) on the repair
order and in the claim comments.
For covered repairs that address control module failures that occurred prior to performing this reprogramming
procedure, claim this work with the Repair Code and labor operation codes (including the diagnosis*) that
applies.
*Based on which one applies to your center, please refer to SI B01 01 20 or B01 07 20 for the applicable
procedure for documenting, claiming, and explaining, on the RO and in the claim comments, your diagnosis
