Parts, Service Action Label and Warranty Instructions

Parts Information:
The following parts are only required if the engine will not start after a
programming update has been completed. If an "exchange control unit" determination identifies 1744698/1427006 as a replacement part number, replace the EPROM. Otherwise contact the Technical Support Hotline.

Description Part Number
Replacement EPROM VANOS 01 00 1 469 224
Orange DME Service Action Label 01 00 1 469 136
MoDiC Printer Label 81 22 1 469 306

Note:
Pre-programmed control modules which are currently in dealer stock and were distributed before July 14, 1994 require a programming update once such a control module is installed.

Basic (programmable) control modules are automatically updated once they are programmed.**

Service Action Label Instructions:
This Service Action has been assigned code number 130. After the vehicle has been checked, and corrected if necessary, obtain a label (SD 92-050) and:

a) Emboss your BMW dealer warranty number in the middle of the label (1).

b) Punch out code number 130 printed on the label (2).





c) Bend the label to crease an edge and remove the backing paper. Then affix the label to the B pillar as shown:

If the vehicle already has a label from a previous Service Action/Recall Campaign, affix the label next to the old one. Do not affix one label on top of another one because a number from an underlying label could appear in the punched-out hole of the new label.

Warranty Information:
Parts and labor will be reimbursable under the terms of the applicable BMW New Car Limited Warranty of 4 years/50,000 miles.
