BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10161551 · May 2019 · also written SI B12 13 19, B121319
What it covers
A service bulletin tells BMW technicians how to diagnose or fix a known issue. It is not a recall: a repair under a bulletin is normally paid by the owner unless the car is still under warranty or a warranty extension applies.
SERVICE ACTION: LOCK THE DME FAULT MEMORY (F39 F48). The fault memory lock in Digital Motor Electronics (DME) control unit was not activated. An activated lock would prevent the manual deletion of permanent fault codes. The DME fault memory lock has not been set.
