Battery charge warning light flickers
E46 / M47, M57
Complaint:
On the above vehicles, the battery charge warning light can intermittently flicker of light up
briefly while the vehicle is being driven.
Cause:
Faults in the fault recognition logic circuits of the alternator regulator lead to intermittent
actuation of the battery charge warning light. The charge level of the vehicle is not affected
and there is no fault in the instrument cluster.
Affected
vehicles:
E46 with M47/M57
Manufacturing period: September 1999 to April 2000
Remedy:
From April 2000, vehicles will be equipped in series production with an additional circuit
which prevents the battery charge warning light from being incorrectly actuated.
In case of customer complaint, an adapter cable must be retrofitted to the instrument
cluster.
Procedure:
Remove the complete instrument cluster
(please refer to Repair Instructions for E46, job item no. 62 21 000).
Remove the connector on the right of the instrument cluster (26-pin, black).
Note:
When working with the wiring harness disconnected, take care to ensure that no
electrostatic charge comes into contact with the connectors.
