On the way to work my 05 MCS lost all power. I pulled over and he restated just fine without any issues. The MINI drove like normal with no issues. I checked my Scangauge and it shows a P1685 error code. Does anyone know what this code is? I have my manual at the house but wanted to check before I drove the MINI any further. Thanks
There is a full chart of all the codes here on Motoring Alliance. Link to Library Article. P1685 - Electronic Throttle Control Monitor Level 2/3 Clutch Torque Max Error As to what is the cause...I'm not sure, hopefully others will chime in with some things to check.
I just checked with my local MINI shop where I had a RMW tune done and he said with an ECU tune / cold weather, MINI's will occasionally throw the P1685 code. He said to clear the code and if it does not happen again not to be concerned. A friend also replied that he find the same answer when he searched the internet.
