The Electric Machine Electronics (EME) has a connection for the B+ cable which leads to the 12V battery. This B+ cable transfers energy from the DC/DC converter to the 12V network. This cable may corrode over time and, in extreme cases, could break. In the event of a cable break, output from the DC/DC converter would be interrupted. This interruption would cause the 12V battery to discharge. Subsequently the customer would be notified via a check control message that the 12V battery is discharging, and the vehicle may not restart after being switched off.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10147709-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10147709-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10147709","components":[{"id":"engine","name":"Engine","parent":null},{"id":"equipment","name":"Equipment and accessories","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"BMW","model":"ACTIVE HYBRID 3","year_from":2012,"year_to":2012,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"BMW","model":"ACTIVE HYBRID 3","year_from":2015,"year_to":2015,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2015_bmw_activehybrid-3"]},{"make":"BMW","model":"ACTIVE HYBRID 5","year_from":2013,"year_to":2013,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2013_bmw_activehybrid-5"]},{"make":"BMW","model":"ACTIVE HYBRID 7","year_from":2014,"year_to":2014,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2014_bmw_activehybrid-7"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
