SIB 12 14 19: Control module fault codes
Control module fault codes on B38 engines (2014–2019); BMW explains the cause and the approved repair.
BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10161552 · May 2019 · also written SI B12 14 19, B121419
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.
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.
