BMW F chassis Battery Replacement Steps

There is a battery management module in engine system of BMW F chassis, if it monitor that battery has been serious aged or damaged, a DTC would be generated in engine system, you can only clear this code after replacing battery and "record" it.

The tool I used is a Topdon Artipad.

Here are my steps:
1. Manual ->vehicle brand->chassis->Engine,ECM->DME/DDE
2.Special function->battery->record replace battery
3. Tap on record replace battery, if you replace

the same type and capacity, choose "same capacity", wait for 20s, it would prompt battery replacement was successfully recorded in DME/DDE.
If you replace different capacity, choose "higher/lower capacity", and the same steps if you replace different battery type(chemistry), just choose the correct one, like AGM or lead acid, but it requires reprogram after replacing battery, BMW F chassis doesn't supported yet.

After the record was done, clear DTC.If the DTC can't be cleared, the ECM-DDE/DME info and shows not supported.

Anyway, it is quite simple to do the configuration/matching after replacing battery, I hope you will find this instruction helpful.
