AFFECTED VEHICLES
Vehicles which require this campaign to be completed will show it as “Open” when checked either in AIR,
AWP, Campaign Summary or Warranty Vehicle Inquiry.
Please make sure you check your dealer inventory as soon as possible. As of February 15, 2025, you can
see a list of affected vehicles in Inventory Campaign Details (ICD) under ROSS.

SITUATION
BMW AG has decided on a service campaign for certain vehicles from the G2x series.
Please have the Integrated Fuel Module control unit (IFM) programmed in the vehicles concerned
(according to the vehicle identification number selection), if possible, before vehicle delivery.
If vehicles have already been delivered, have the measure carried out the next time the vehicles enter the
workshop.

CAUSE
1. A diagnostic software error in the IFM control unit could cause the Service Engine Soon (MIL) to illuminate even if a fault is
not present.

Or,
2. An OBD scan tool is used to clear the faults, but the fault stays stored in permanent fault memory (MIL goes out but fault
does not clear).

CORRECTION
Update the vehicle software via Remote Software Upgrade or ISTA programming.

Required I-Level: S18A-25-03-530
No parts are needed for this repair

Remote Software Update (RSU) is the preferred method of vehicle software update for this Delivery Stop/
Service Action.
To carry out the procedure via Remote Software Update follow the instructions in SIB B09 01 25
If RSU software upgrade method is not available for this vehicle, then the vehicle software needs to be
updated via ISTA.
Programming via ISTA
If RSU software is not currently downloaded in the vehicle OR the RSU software currently downloaded is
lower than 03/2025.30, then the vehicle software will need to be updated to S18A-24-07-535 or higher via
ISTA.
Determine what is the vehicle’s current I-level by either using AIR or the Key Reader/Aftersales Workplace
(AWP) application.
Programming via ISTA-

Connect the battery charger to the vehicle
Connect the vehicle to ISTA.
Determine the measures plan
Accept or work through the entire measures plan with the control units to be
programmed/encoded and, if necessary, activated
Follow the rework list.
Depending on the rework list, carry out a vehicle test and delete the fault memory, if required

Notice: No further system change is required after the integration of the programming in ISTA 4. Please
check the rework list accordingly!
ISTA 4.51.1x with installed service data package is required for the programming/encoding.
The solution is included from the following I-level versions:
• I-level S18A-25-03-530 or later (available from ISTA 4.52.15 SDP, planned for release on February 25,
2025)
Important Note: It is imperative that programming is carried out with the above- mentioned, or a
more recent I-level!
Note that ISTA will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have
the latest software.
Please note the programming information in the workshop system and the corresponding notes in the user
documentation.
