Hello 2007 Turbo Coop S. I joined for selfish reasons: this is really great car but it has developed electrical gremlins. I could really use some wiring and fuse diagrams. Specifically the EPS, electric power steering, module is not responding to ODB2 and the power steering isn't working. The sport button doesn't make any difference. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. I want to get back to enjoying this car like I did when we had a Mini Rally to Mount Rushmore and drove the needles highway. That was cool seeing all those great little cars and meeting their owners.
@Blue Pulaski welcome to MA! If you don’t already know Minis are very picky about power. Make sure your battery is good and all the grounding straps are in good shape, although I don’t think this is your problem. Below is some pictures from the Bentley manual that may help. I highly recommend getting your hands on one. My son just ordered one off Amazon 2 days ago,LOL. We are still trying to rebuild around here so hang around and bring friends. If you find a fix please post the fix, that way you may help some other Mini owner with the same problem.
This is excellent! I may not find the problem with this information but at the very least I can start eliminating possibilities. I bought some probes that I just used successfully to test another project vehicle's wiring loom for failure. With this info, an maybe a little more, I can probe backwards from the ECU connector to test continuity and resistance. A the source EPS connections I can test voltage drops or increase.
