Summary. INFORMATION To properly diagnose the customer's complaint, the applicable test plan for the misfire faults stored in the DME must be performed to avoid repeat repairs. If a misfire fault is not stored in the DME memory and an engine related drivability complaint is received, follow the path below to manually start the misfire test plan (AT1214_TVD4_MISFIRE_20): 1. Perform a vehicle test. 2. Select "Function Structure." 3. Select "01 Engine." 4. Select "Engine electronics MEVD." 5. Select "Misfire detection." 6. Follow the steps in the test plan and select "Basic check (start)" first. Do not select "Additional check" at this time. 7. If the result of the "Basic check" indentifies a fuel system component failure, replace the identified component. If the result of the "Basic check" test plan was inconclusive, go to step 7. After the component replacement, perform the "Basic check" portion of the test plan again to verify if the diagnosis was correct and the vehicle condition has been rectified.

SummaryService Action: Check Wiring Harness for Electric Fuel Pump. The wiring harness for the electric fuel pump may not have been routed or secured correctly. In unfavorable conditions, the wiring harness may come into contact with sharp edges on the fuel pump access cover. Continuous contact with the access cover can damage the wiring harness, which leads to fault codes stored and CC messages displayed. AFFECTED VEHICLES This Service Action involves F33 models according to Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) selection. First check if a Service Action label with a code number 692 is already attached to the B-pillar. If a code number 692 has been punched out, the Campaign has already been performed and no further action is necessary. Vehicles which require this Service Action to be completed will show it as "Open" when checked either in the "Service Menu" of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System) or with the Key Reader. Incorrect routing of the harness for the electric fuel pump.
