THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LAMP ON WITH POST OXYGEN SENSOR FAULTS STORED

TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN

SUBJECT

The Service Engine Soon Lamp On with Post Oxygen Sensor Faults Stored 

SITUATION

The Service Engine Soon (MIL) lamp is on and the following faults are stored in the DME fault code memory.

BN2000 (E-Series) vehicles:

• 2D22: Oxygen sensor downstream of catalytic converter, electric: open circuit

BN2020 (F-Series) vehicles:

• 12AB04: Oxygen sensor downstream of catalytic converter, electric: open circuit
• 12AC04: Oxygen sensor downstream of catalytic converter 2, electric: open circuit

These faults may occur sporadically after a long MSA engine stop.

CAUSE

Unfavorable DME software diagnostics (fault is erroneous)

This software error affects vehicles produced from 3/2013 to 6/2013, as well as older vehicles which have been programmed during service work to a current integration level of Xxxx-13-03-5xx.

CORRECTION

Perform diagnostic tests in ISTA.

Program the vehicle using ISTA/P 2.50.0 or higher to the appropriate target integration level.

E84 and E89:	E89X-13-07-500 or higher
F01, F02, and F07:	F010-13-07-501 or higher
F06, F10, F12, and F13:	F010-13-07-501 or higher
F30 and F31:	F020-13-07-501 or higher
F25:	F025-13-07-500 or higher

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

Battery voltage only "XX.XX" V. Please connect charger.

Please note the displayed battery voltage reading in the repair order comments section. This documentation is not necessary when part of an approved Technical Service repair procedure; the battery charger is required to be attached before performing the Vehicle Test.

Defect Code:	11 78 03 15 00
Labor Operation:	Labor Allowance:	Description:
00 00 006	Refer to KSD2	Performing "vehicle test" (with vehicle diagnosis system - checking faults)
and if necessary, also
61 21 528	Refer to KSD2	Charging battery

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;

and

For F-Series Vehicles 

Labor Operation:	Labor Allowance:	Description:
61 00 730	Refer to KSD2	Programming/encoding control unit(s)

or

E84 and E89 

Labor Operation:	Labor Allowance:	Description:
61 00 710	Refer to KSD2	Programming/encoding control unit(s) (not including CAS)
or
61 00 720	Refer to KSD2	Programming/encoding control unit(s) (with CAS)

Refer to KSD2 for the corresponding flat rate unit (FRU) allowance. Enter the Chassis Number, which consists of the last 7 digits of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Click on the "Search" button, and then enter the applicable flat rate labor operation in the FR code field.

If a control module was working properly and/or had no related faults stored prior to vehicle programming and it fails to program correctly or requires initialization, this additional work must be claimed with separate labor operations under the defect code listed above, refer to KSD2.
