    The SES light came on recently on my 39000 mile, 2006 R50 Cooper. Autozone (only place open) scanned the codes, and read "P113C". They could offer no explanation for this code. A couple of days later, my mechanic scanned with his laptop and got the same code with no explanation as to what it referred to. After further digging thru the blurb, it came up as an O2 sensor fault. Has anyone else encountered this error/fault code?

    I've changed the thread title to Error/Fault Code - P113C. This way others that may be seeking info on the same issue can easily find it.

    Codes for 1st generation MINIs can be found in the M/A Library - ECU Codes Chart - 1st Generation MINI - Library

    Is it most likly an O2 sensor code. The problem with the code readers you are using there is they do not have BMW/MINI specific code reading ability. Hence the more generic P113C. O2 codes range from P1132 - P1139 and each has a unique meaning.

    O2 codes often seem to pop up when the outside temp has made a big drop overnight. You don't have a location listed but being I see snow in your avatar I'm going to go out on a limb and say this code light shall pass in a few days and a few normal drive cycles.

    If this does turn out to be a bad o2 sensor be advised that MINI extended the warranty on those to 100,000 miles. I had one go at 105,000 miles & found no happiness from MINI.

    Nathan, Many thanks. Mechanic cleared code, and it has not reappeared after 4 days. Location is NW Ohio. Just finished clearing my driveway. Up to now, we have had between 6 and 8 inches, with more to come.

    Crashton, Sorry about your luck with the sensor.

    We've not gotten anything here in Columbus but rain so far today. I'm bummed. I wanted to see that 6" they called for the other day.

    We got about 8 inches on Thursday, and forecast to get 10/12 inches today. Good thing I had Blizzaks fitted to the M1N1.
