SUBJECT:
Replacement Spring - Loaded Contact Pins for Simulator Adaptor Cables

Note:
This Service Information bulletin refers only to adaptor cables that are beyond the terms of the Special Tool Warranty Period. Cables within the terms of the Special Tool Warranty Period should be handled in accordance with instructions in your BMW Parts Information binder.

Situation:
There have been cases where the spring-loaded contact pins have broken on out-of-warranty cables, rendering them useless. So that these out-of-warranty cables may be restored to operational usage, we have acquired a supply of the two different types of spring-loaded contact pins for your convenience. The following chart explains which pins go with which cables:

It is recommended that you give the adaptor cable, and the new spring-loaded contact pin to an electronic repair shop in your area.





The broken pins must be desoldered, and pressed from the housing, reversing the procedure to install the new pin. Refer to illustration in this Bulletin.
