SITUATION
Starting from I-level …24-07-500, it is possible that the Automatic Hold function is not automatically stored
for the next journey. The function must be activated again by the driver at the beginning of every trip. After a
software update to 25-03-500 and higher, this occurs more frequently.

CAUSE
The stored data is lost during the terminal change if Automatic Hold has been activated and a personal
driver profile has been selected at the same time.

CORRECTION
G45 vehicles: Program the vehicle to I-level …25-07-550 or a more recent version.
I-level 25-07-550 will be available with ISTA 4.55.3 from September 17, 2025.
F95, F96, G05, G06, G07, G09: Program the vehicles with I-level …25-07-551 or a more recent version. Ilevel …25-07-551 will be available with ISTA 4.55.3 from September 17, 2025.
G60, G70, G90, G99: Program the vehicles with I-level 25-07-538 or a more recent version. I-level …25-07538 became available with ISTA 4.54.4 from August 4, 2025.
F74, U10, U11: Program the vehicles with I-level …25-07-551 or a more recent version. I-level …25-07-551
will be available with ISTA 4.55.3 from September 17, 2025.

PROCEDURE
Determine the vehicle’s current I-level by either using AIR, or AWP (Aftersales Workplace) applications.
If the I-Level is currently at…25-07-550 (G45) or …25-07-551 (F74, F95, F96, G05, G06, G07, G09, U10,
U11) or …25-07-538 (G60, G70, G90, G99) or a more recent version:
Do not program the vehicle
Continue with standard diagnosis
If the I-level is lower than …25-07-550 (G45) or …25-07-551 (F74, F95, F96, G05, G06, G07, G09 U10,
U11) or …25-07-538 (G60, G70, G90, G99):
Program the vehicle to I-level …25-07-550 (G45) or …25-07-551 (F74, F95, F96, G05, G06, G07, G09,
U10, U11) or …25-07-538 (G60, G70, G90, G99) or higher.

Determine measures plan
Accept and fully work through the measures plan with the control units to be programmed/encoded
and enabled
Follow the rework list
Depending on the rework list, carry out a vehicle test and delete the fault memory if needed
After the programming has been fully completed, check functionality of the system.
Note: ISTA will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the

A parts replacement does not provide a remedy and is therefore unnecessary.

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.

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
AIR together with the corresponding labor operation codes and their flat rate unit (FRU) allowance(s),
including the diagnosis* that applies.
