SITUATION
The Combined Charging Unit (CCU) may be affected by a manufacturing defect.

CAUSE
The Combined Charging Unit (CCU) may be affected by a manufacturing defect.

CORRECTION
Replace the Combined Charging Unit (CCU).

PROCEDURE
Replace the Combined Charging Unit (CCU), see REP 61 42 501.
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”.
Additional Information:
Scheduled Maintenance, or Quality Certification 1 (Pre-Delivery Inspection) on Electric or Hybrid
vehicles does not require HV technical training.
Prior to disconnecting, or the removal of any HV component, the HV system needs to be disabled
and secured (by means of the HV Disconnect Switch) by a properly trained technician, who has a
minimum HV Qualification level after completing the Technical Training Course ST1824 (Alternative
Drive Part 1). Once the vehicle’s HV system is disabled (the “Blitz” - lightning bolt icon 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.

High Voltage Battery removal and rework can be performed ONLY by a HV Specialist Technician
(certified by the Technical Training Course ST1825 – Alternative Drive Part 2), AND with a HV Battery
Certification level corresponding to a specific Electric or Hybrid vehicle (e.g., to repair GEN4 battery
of G05 PHEV, certification from Technical Training Course “ST2006 – SP44 HV Battery” is required).
Therefore, to perform this SIB 61 24 22 a GEN5 battery Certification is required from Technical
Training Course “ST2205 Generation 5 High-voltage” class).
