Do not install any part which shows visual
damage as shown in the photo or has been
dropped from any height.

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 (e.g., MINI Countryman SE) 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.
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 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”
