I-CAR · October 17, 2024 · BMW, MINI
Summary
This article outlines the guidelines and procedures for performing non-SRS wiring repairs on BMW and Mini vehicles. It highlights that while some wiring repairs are permitted using specific procedures found in the BMW AIR portal, certain components like 48V cables must never be repaired, and shielded coaxial cables require specialized tooling.
What to do on the job
Consult the BMW AIR portal under '61-General Vehicle Electrical System' to verify if the specific damaged wire can be repaired, ensuring never to repair 48V cables and limiting repairs to a single splice per line.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the labor and materials required for proper wiring repairs, such as specialized crimping tools for coaxial lines, or to defend the complete replacement of a wiring harness if the damage involves 48V cables or requires more than one splice on a single line.
