Latest Software Update For All Models With CAN Onboard Network CIP CD11.0

[marcopolo]

There was a link to this set of release notes in another thread. I thought these release notes would be of general interest, so made this a separate post. For R bikes, there are changes, among others, related to "acceleration pinging", and the fuel readout. It's a bit long....

 

 

CIP CD11.0 - Release Notes

 

All models with CAN on-board network

 

This CD Supports the following control unit and CIP application enhancements:

 

BMS-KP: Revision of program and data releases, R series (see Section 1.1)

 

ZFE/KOMBI: Revision of fuel-level readout computation and fuel-level readout, R series (see Sections 1.3 and 1.4)

 

CIP function expansions (see Section 2.1):

 

Read fault code memory

Read and set service data (date and countdown distance)

New language: Greek

 

New conversions (see Section 2.2)

 

Supports all vehicle versions and control unit updates to date, plus:

The model I level (I level, factory) "K024-08-01-500"

 

Notes:

 

-The I levels (Integration level) factory and dealer organization represent the software/data release programmed into the vehicle and can be seen in the "Vehicle identification" screen in the diagnostics program (Diagnostic CD22.0 and later).

 

-The model I level (I level, factory) represents the software release when the vehicle was built.

-The vehicle data release (I level, dealer organization) represents the current software release programmed in the vehicle.

 

 

Replaces all previous versions of the "CIP" CDs including the issued updates.

 

Can be used for the following two workshop systems:

 

Group Tester One (GT1)

Software Service Station (SSS)

 

Important Note:

 

CIP CD8.0 and later: Only vehicles with a battery voltage higher than 13V can be programmed. (For details, see Section 2.1.1 in this document).

 

It is recommended as a general principle that control units should only be programmed or encoded via a LAN cable.

 

Control unit programming should only be carried out in the following circumstances:

 

-In the event of a verified customer complaint.

-Following a prompt by the diagnosis program during replacement of the control unit or recoding.

-When carrying out a conversion/retrofit/removal (e.g. power change or

retrofitting/removing an anti-theft alarm system (DWA)).

 

-Following the advice issued in a special Service Information Bulletin (SIB) or by BMW Motorrad in their aftersales problem and measures system (PuMA).

2. Additions/new features and CIP software bug fixes (fault elimination):

 

2.1 Additions/new features:

 

2.1.1 Change to voltage limit or programmability of vehicles

 

CIP CD8.0 and later: Only vehicles with a battery voltage higher than 13V can be programmed.

 

To ensure the necessary battery voltage during programming, it will be necessary, even before accessing or starting CIP, to connect a sufficiently powerful battery charger directly to the battery terminals of the vehicle to be programmed!

 

Please refer to SIB 00 018 06 (053)R for information on an approved BMW battery charger for this purpose. The reason behind introducing this measure is the objective of clearly reducing or eliminating programming aborts on account of insufficient (too low) battery voltage.

 

2.1.2 Automatic detection of terminal change

 

Automatic status recognition of terminal 15 (ignition ON/ OFF) is implemented as of this version of the CIP CD; this measure has been implemented for a number of reasons, but particularly in order to accelerate the processes involving frequent terminal-status changes (e.g. BMS-K/BMS-KP initialization processes).

 

After the request for a terminal-status change, CIP automatically checks whether this has taken place, and then automatically switches to the next screen.

 

2.1.3 "Automatic" overall coding after every CIP interaction

 

In order to ensure that the same coding data status is stored in all control units relevant for coding, as of CIP CD 10.0, after every CIP interaction (programming, retrofit/conversion, replacement) that affects the software status of the complete vehicle or when new control units or functions are added to the vehicle's system, a complete coding of all codable control units is performed.

 

ATTENTION:

Different coding data statuses in individual control units can adversely affect how complex functions work (e.g. fuel gauge or on-board computer).

 

2.1.4 Other function expansions

 

Within the framework of this software release, CIP has been expanded to include the following new functions:

 

-New language: Greek

 

With the GT1 workshop system, only in combination with choice of "Greek" as the language through the diagnostic application (supported as of "Diagnostic CD23").

 

-Read fault code memory

-Read and set service data (date and countdown distance)

 

The new functions

 

-Read fault code memory

 

-Read and set service data (date and countdown distance)

 

Are available with immediate effect for both workshop systems (GT1 and SSS) and can be accessed in the "Vehicle" operating mode by selecting the new menu item "Maintenance"

 

"Delete FM" (Delete fault-code memory) is an existing CIP function (formerly accessed in the "Vehicle" mode by opening the "Initializations" menu) that has now been integrated into the "Maintenance" menu for functional and practical reasons.

 

2.2 New conversions:

 

2.2.1 "HP-2D instrument panel" retrofit

 

The following models can be retrofitted with the "HP 2D instrument panel" (standard instrument panel for the HP2 Sport):

 

K 1200 S (K40)

K 1200 R (K43)

K 1200 R Sport (K43HV)

R 1200 S (K29)

 

The "HP 2D instrument panel" retrofit is available as an option for the K-series models listed above as of construction status 08.2006 (i.e. MY 2007) and for all R 1200 S models.

 

Important Notes:

 

-In the event of subsequent removal and restoration to the appropriate standard instrument panel, it is absolutely essential to perform removal and restoration to original status with CIP.

 

-Within the framework of the "HP 2D instrument panel" conversion, the instrument panel is programmed with the program status that applies to the individual motorcycle, in order to ensure that readouts for all optional extras (e.g. ASC, RDC, on-board computer) remain fully functional and also to ensure that the odometer readings are transferred correctly.

Model variant R 1200 RT (K26, type code numbers 0368 and 0387):

 

-Revision of fuel-level reading/ fuel-level characteristic.

 

Interesting. It sounds like they have improved the accuracy of the fuel gauge, which is something that I will appreciate.

 

Thanks for posting this.

[nazdravanul]

My 08 GSA has been produced in the 3rd week of February. Does this update apply to it too ?

Does your gauge read full after filling up and driving a bit - mine never exceeds 3/4's

Just kidding, Mark. Thanks for sharing. Guess I oughta schedule a visit to the dealer sometime in the not too distant future.

If you read the "fine print", they will only update your bike if you have a validated complaint, so better complain about your fuel reading, or pinging under acceleration.

[milbrua]

Does your gauge read full after filling up and driving a bit - mine never exceeds 3/4's

 

My gauge shows full after a fill-up. What bothers me is that it shows bone-dry (0 miles) with more than a gallon left in the tank.

[Teddy]

Yep same here the display read zero & I still had 1.9litres left after riding over 10kms with the Fuel range reading ----

I figured the DTE reads ---- when there are about 2.4 litres left. The fuel bars had long gone by this stage though.

 

I wish it was more accurate, to me it seems overly pessimisitic, OTOH I guess it is better to fill up early than run out of fuel.

 

Cheers Teddy

My gauge shows full after a fill-up. What bothers me is that it shows bone-dry (0 miles) with more than a gallon left in the tank.

 

I, like others, have had my fuel guage re-calibrated under warranty. The low fuel level warning now comes on much later. As it was explained to me, it involves emptying your tank, letting the sensor strip dry off, pouring back in a measured quantity of fuel (whatever quantity you want your "reserve" to be), then having the tech do some magic with the BMW diagnostic computer to "tell" your bike's computer that this is the new reserve fuel level. Worked for me. If it had been just the little flashing fuel pump icon, it wouldn't have been so bad, but I found the warning triangle really distracting/annoying.

[motoguy128]

Good to hear I wasn't just hearing things, and that I was experienceing some pinging under accelration, particularly at full throttle over 5000RPM.

 

The fuel gauge is also screwed up, so I'll get that recalibrated or repaired as well. I might drop it off tommorrow and just get the 6000 mile service done a little early. 5500 miles is close enough.

[Semper_Fi]

 

I drove till my warning triangle came on and I filled up 5.18 gallons that is 1.92 in reserve ( a good thing i guess )

 

Drove for 2/10ths of a mile and the triangle went away and the gauge showed about an 1/8th of an inch above 3/4's (still not full) but right up to the neck on the tank.

 

Called the dealer - they will update the firmware with my 600 mile check up.

 

By the way those were the easiest (read comfortable ) miles i've ever put on!!!

[TestPilot]

Interesting reading. Does anyone know what a BMS-KP engine control is and how it differs from the BMS-K?

I had the update done today. It takes several hours. I stopped for gas on the way home and put 2 gallons in. It took ten minutes os small squeezes to get the fuel level almost even with the filler neck ring that is about two inches into the tank area. The gage finally responded with a about half a bar above the third peg. Then it slowly eased down to it's usual position. I went out a little later and fuel level had gone up a bit.

 

I was warned that the system would come up with a -40 degree temp and a snow flake showing as a possible ice condition. It was about 80 out here in Phoenix. After an hour in stop and go traffic, I noticed that it was reading about 83 degrees in the display.

 

The tech stated that I might have to come in for a complete fuel tank re-calibration if the fuel gage remains erratic.

[BrianT]

Interesting reading. Does anyone know what a BMS-KP engine control is and how it differs from the BMS-K?

I know on the K-bikes the 2006 and early 2007's had the BMS-K ECU. At some point in 2007 they went to the BMS-KP instead as the new and improved version of ECU and all the bikes from that point on have it. I think it started with the addition of the traction control so that may be the reason for the change in ECU. I'm not sure if this applies to the R bikes as well.

 

I don't know the layout on the R bikes but on the K bikes the ECU is under the seat and easy to see if you have the K or KP version.

[majordad]

I went to the dealer this morning to get something and asked them about the software update and the service manager said he had heard nothing of this which might be true. However, I hope my bike isn't effected by this because I don't want to go back to them again. My confidence in them is low.

[jjprusk]

I've had the same experience with my R2008 1200RT. The fuel guage would not go above 3/4 full. They updated the software @ my 600 mile service and the fuel guage now reads full when I fill it up (and shows 277 miles to empty as well). I had the same temp. guage experience, but it seems fine now. How do I determine the software revision? They didn't mark anything on the work order other than "updated software".

[motoguy128]

My dealer had a problem with the BMW motoronic interface and it erased my ECU when trying to either update the firmware or just going online to recalibrate my fule strip.

 

The guy that worked on it seems very compitent to me, so I'm blaming the BMW equipment.
