Mini One 1.6, 2005

Illuminated ABS Warning Light

Problem description

Illuminated ABS Warning Light
The issue occurs when diagnosing an electrical fault on a 2005 Mini One 1.6 model. The warning lights for ABS, ASR, and handbrake intermittently illuminate, while the tachometer and speedometer needles fluctuate. The fuses have been checked. The diagnostic tool fails to communicate with the ABS system.

Solution

1. This problem frequently occurs on this model and is caused by cables rubbing against the ABS hydraulic module bracket. It is necessary to inspect the ABS control cables (Figure 1) and repair or replace them if needed.

2. This should resolve the issue. To prevent recurrence, cut the required length of rubber hose and attach it to the ABS hydraulic module bracket (Figure 2). Finally, check the ABS error codes and perform any additional repairs if necessary.
