- [M610607](/bulletins/10244507.md), 2023-11-01, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. MINI electrical systems have continued to develop over the past few years. As a result, the demand on the batteries has increased. Breakdowns due to an empty battery or problems in the vehicles electrical system can have various causes, most of which are not due to the battery itself. For this reason, a battery replacement will permanently eliminate the problem only in the rarest of cases. The energy diagnosis test module helps to localize these causes. This document covers important information for the dealer on how to handle “discharged battery” complaints. Without performing the energy diagnosis test plan, the root cause of a discharged battery cannot be identified. In order to properly repair the vehicle the first time, it is very important that the diagnostic test plan is performed to completion; with all results taken into consideration.
- [M360119](/bulletins/10206696.md), 2022-01-24, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; WHEELS; EQUIPMENT. New RDC wheel electronics will be introduced with future generation MINI models. The new wheel electronics are identified as Huf Generation 5. These new wheel electronics will need to be programmed using the new tool when replaced or when depressurized \(0 psi\) for more than 2 minutes.
- [M010419](/bulletins/10171506.md), 2020-02-18, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; ENGINE; FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE. CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT: N14 HIGH\-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP \(HDP\) SERVICE BENEFIT CLASS VEHICLES: The MINI vehicle may experience a sudden engine operational failure reduced or loss of power while driving and the malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\) may be illuminated along with high\-pressure fuel pumprelated faults stored in the Engine Control Module \(DME\). PROCEDURE Perform the corresponding diagnosis/vehicle test and run the test plans to completion as applicable.
- [M640108](/bulletins/10162461.md), 2019-07-13, Service bulletin: EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER; EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL. Air Conditioning System Leak Testing. The customer complains of poor or no air conditioning cooling. After further diagnosis, the system is found to be low or empty of a refrigerant charge, but when using an electronic leak detector, no leak can be found. CAUSE: In most cases, an electronic leak detector is not sufficient for identifying small leaks in the system. Electronic leak detectors can give false alarms and can lead to an improper diagnosis of small leaks. A leak cannot be located exactly if accessibility is impaired \(in the case of the expansion valve, evaporator or condenser\).
