SUBJECT

Check Control Message Is Displayed to Replace the Battery 

SITUATION

A check control message is displayed to the customer to have the battery replaced.

DME fault "213B01: Power management, battery status detected: battery faulty" is stored.

CAUSE

DME software error

CORRECTION

Repair step 1: 

Perform "Energy diagnostics" test module "ABL-DIT-AT6100_END_L6".

The fault is handled automatically in this module and further instruction to replace the battery should no longer be displayed.

If, however, the instruction to replace the battery still appears and/or the customer returns  to the workshop with the same problem, proceed as described in "Repair step 2".

Repair step 2: 

With ISTA/D, perform test module "AS6120_WESCHEL - Register Battery replacement" two times, waiting at least 20 seconds before performing it the second time.

Clear the fault memory.

Program the vehicle with ISTA/P 2.41.0 or a more recent version.

Vehicle integration (new) F0xx-11-03-501 or higher

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.

Labor operation code 00 00 006 is a main labor operation, if you are using a main labor code for another repair; use the plus code labor operation 00 00 556 instead.

Only one main labor operation can be claimed per repair visit. All other labor operations on the same line or other lines must be claimed using plus code labor operations.

Even though labor operation code 61 00 006 ends in "006"; as described above, it is not considered a main labor operation.

Work Time (WT) - the amount of FRUs claimed for this labor operation must be documented by an individual punch time that supports the time necessary to perform the required repair.

If a control module fails to program correctly, or initialization is required, work through the Measures Plan and/or Final Report. Claim this additional work under the defect code listed in this bulletin, referring to the KSD2 for the labor operation codes and labor allowances.

Please refer to the Warranty Policy and Procedures Manual regarding add-ons, proper support, documentation and archiving requirements for claims, as applicable.
