☐

THIS REPAIR IS MOBILE FRIENDLY

MODEL
E-Series
G05

Model Description
X5 xDrive50e

Production Date
Vehicles produced from July 2024 to March 2025

Engine
XB1N

SITUATION
Check Engine Light is illuminated, check control message indicates “bring in for service”. The faults
themselves and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) have no functional effect on the vehicle.
There are multiple missing message fault codes (DTC) stored in the integrated automatic heating/air
conditioning system (IHKA) control unit.
These faults may include:
E71458 - AC-LIN: Message EKMV20
E71459 - AC-LIN: Message EDH.

CAUSE
Software in the IHKA control module.
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) requires monitoring of the multiple battery cooling control modules
communication to the engine control module. If communication is interrupted, a Check Engine Light can
result.

CORRECTION
Program/encode the IHKA control module.
The missing message faults will no longer appear, unless relevant, once the vehicle is updated with ISTA
4.52.15 to I-Level 25-03-530 (Backup I-level S18A-24-11-570)

PROCEDURE
Determine the vehicle’s current integration level (I-level) by either using AIR or the Key Reader ISPA
Next/AWP (Aftersales Workplace) applications.
1.Is the current vehicle I-level lower than:
Model
Target integration level
G05
S18A-25-03-530
Or
S18A-24-11-570
YES: Proceed to Step 2
NO: Further diagnosis with ISTA is needed
2. Program the vehicle using ISTA 4.52.15 or higher (released February 21, 2025).

Special Note: Currently there is an Execution Break and the backup I-Level needs to be used S18A24-11-570.
This backup I-Level has the improved software needed for the IHKA.
After the programming has been fully completed, check the functionality of the system.
Note: ISTA will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the
latest software.
Always connect a BMW-approved battery charger/power supply (SI B04 23 10).
For information on programming and coding with ISTA, refer to TIS / Technical Documentation / Diagnostics
and Programming / Programming Documentation.

PARTS INFORMATION
Part exchange of the IHKA control unit does not provide a solution.

CLAIM INFORMATION
Vehicle Programming and Encoding
During this workshop visit, the affected vehicle may also show one or more programming and encoding Technical Campaign
repairs open, the programming and encoding procedure may only be invoiced one time.
Select one of these open Technical Campaigns instead to perform and submit for updating the vehicle to the
required I-level, or higher when applicable (Includes labor operation codes 00 00 006/556, 61 21 528 and 61 00 730).
Please be sure to also perform any additional before and/or after work (including attaching labels) as required by

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, or exclude them (including 61 21 528) when the Vehicle Test is included in another repair.
Work time labor operation codes 61 00 006 and 00 58 500 are not considered Main labor operations.
Vehicle Programming and Encoding – Additional Work (RO and Claim Comments Required)
This procedure automatically reprograms and encodes any vehicle control modules that do not have the latest software Ilevel.

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 together with the corresponding labor
operation codes and their flat rate unit (FRU) allowance(s), including the diagnosis* that applies.
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 appliable Repair Code listed in AIR together with the
corresponding labor operation codes and their flat rate unit (FRU) allowance(s), 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 work time (WT), job/repair
work time (WT), and the vehicle repairs your center performed, unless otherwise required by State law.

Other Repairs
If other eligible and covered work is performed because of performing the ISTA diagnostics, related test
plans, and/or other approved diagnosis procedures, claim this work with the applicable Repair Code listed in
