SI B61 04 13

Technical Service

SUBJECT
After FEM Replacement, ISTA/P Unable to Read Vehicle Order

MODEL
F30

SITUATION





After the FEM (Front Electronic Module) is replaced, ISTA/P states "The vehicle order could not be read from the vehicle. Import of the vehicle order required."

CAUSE
The replacement FEM does not contain the vehicle-specific data, including the Vehicle Order (VO). The proper ISTA/P parts replacement procedure was not performed.

PROCEDURE

1. If the original FEM is available and communicating, connect it to the vehicle and follow the ISTA/P part replacement procedure as outlined in TIS video 07 15 12. This can be accessed via the following path: Service Reference / Service Roundtable / General Search / Main Group 7.

2. If the original FEM is no longer available or not communicating, submit a PuMA case and request a vehicle order for the vehicle.

3. Download and import the vehicle order into ISTA/P, and finish the programming as displayed by the measures plan.

Note that ISTA/P will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the latest software.

For information on programming and coding with ISTA/P, refer to CenterNet / Aftersales Portal / Service / Workshop Technology / Vehicle Programming.
