I know this video is older but I am new to Mini Coopers and do own a 2005 MCS. Motor was replaced and I get a list of codes but before I start replacing all parts which scanner (affordable) that allows me to clear all codes then rescan. Reason I ask is each time I have auto parts store scan the care I get new codes. First set of codes were P0030 P2096 P0130 These are all oxygen sensor , fuel mix sensor engine related. Along with the following chassis codes. 5D90 wheel speed sensor 5E14 can time out DME/DDE 5DF4 wiring source below neg 9 volt s 5E5C RPA PUSH BUTTON error 5E19 CAN DME/DDE engine torque not adjustable. Guessing that the 5DF4 cold dealt with voltage I had alternator check and replaced due to faulty regular. Since then had rescanned and I now have new code P0130 again oxygen sensor P0341 camshaft sensor. After watch countless videos I have determined that on Mini’s just because you have a fault code may not necessarily mean that is the problem. So unless I pay for a mechanic to spend hours searching for the root causes to my codes I would prefer using a scanner to clear all codes and then start fresh. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated
Last week I got a K+DCan cable with INPA... being the noob I am I managed to mess up the nav module (shows a black screen and on INPA says that is waiting for new software, I inserted the Nav Software CD but it doesn't read it). So right now I'm looking for a new one. The moral of my story for my case is: if is not broken, don't touch it! :( Great video, thank you for the information!

...this business of scan tools is becoming more and more critical to servicing modern cars. Thank you for this video. I've seen a review of the Launch tool at Scanner Danner. My one hope is that scan tool operators will sell just the software so that we can install it on our laptops..with Wifi capability this makes a lot of sense to me. I get frustrated that I have to buy the software and again the hardware each time I want to upgrade. Just sell the software, we already all have laptops or tablets.
This Launch tool comes very close to that. It's just an Android tablet and runs as its own app. Obviously there are background services to support the bluetooth module and for application security, but there is no obvious reason they can't just sell a dongle and let me use my own iPad.
Hi mod, i have a error 5e59 coding error on my r50 mini one 2002 1.6 cvt i cant reset or remove it with my creator c310+, any idea how can i remove or reset my code? Many thanks
My friend has the Foxwell and I was tinkering with it on my 05 r53 and thought it was super neat. It was unable to reset my service light (it shows 45,000 miles past due) and it really annoys me. I wish I could figure it out but oh well.
@@Meboyboyboy I tried that as well. I went through the test settings and I couldn't get it to work. I read somewhere online that once it gets so high, it can't be reset, but there might be another way I'm not sure
I love that you respond to all messages, even on a year old video. Have you been able to read Limp Mode codes with the foxwell or is it limited to dealership software only? Or is there another code reader capable of reading Limp Mode codes. Thanks
A limp mode code is just like any other OBD/diagnostic code, but results in computer not knowing how to safely perform AFR or ignition/valve timing calculations because some data point is no longer reliable. They will appear on the scan tool.
There are several models of the X431, How can I tell which is the latest version? Is there are a comparison chart I can look them up and see which one would be suitable to use for the work I do? Thank You, Jim
Mr. Mod Mini, I have an error code PO2097 Post cat 02. I read somewhere on the internet that this error had nothing to do with O2 sensors and that I just needed to clear adaptation. (not sure what that is) I bought a Creatdor C310. The box says it has this function but its not on the scanner. I'm working on my 2003 Mini R50. Does the Foxwell on your video do "Clear Adaptation"? Thank you in advance.. Diana
Hi, It is a good video, I have got a 2010 mini S R56, it is hard to start on cold engine. What tipe of scanner do you recommend? Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks
Hi any help on 2011 mini r56 had hard start changed all 4coilpacks ran better but now got power limit light and scanned getting p16E9 code checked harnesses all plugged in no wire issues to computer looks good . What can I check or could be causing it . Thanks in advance! Btw would this launch help pinpoint this issue better?
Need an affordable btidirectional scanner for evap solenoid testing on and off. Have a po448 code cleared a 442 and a 456.I do have a smoke machine also power probe. I do have a launch scanner but not capable of doing bidirectional
Will the Launch X431 V+ allow you to turn on and change different features to the car. example activate rear fog light? Which one would allow those types of changes?
No. Carly can do some preference changes, but to code vehicle orders you would need commercial BMW/MINI software or NCS Expert and the supporting software. That is beyond the scope of this video or a RUclips comment.
I bought a Foxwell. I haven't used scanners to much in the past. I have the Low Tire Pressure light on the dash. I had new tires installed but the light is still on. Last time this happened it was a wheel speed sensor. Could be that again. I know the Foxwell will check those but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get to the area. Can you please direct me. 2006 R53
Go to ABS/DSC module data stream to check wheel speed sensors. If a MINI model with active TPMS with radios in the wheel wells, there is a separate module for that. I forget name but begins with the letter R I believe.
Unless I reviewed the wrong link it's like $800+ to renew the software on the Launch X431 v+. Hell might as well buy a new one. Did I catch you right about it will continue to work but lack of updates would only hinder I guess newer cars OR bug fixes?
@@ModMINI Not sure... might be for 1 year, think I was quoting on my post the 2 year renewal and I didn't make that clear. Either way... looks like a cool scanner.
I am from Canada and spend my winters in Arizona and am planning to leave the vehicle in the US, and register and insure it there. I want to change the Speedo cluster to an MPH one, is there away to program it with the equivalent Kilometers I have on it
Is there one of these I can use to reprogram my immobilizor and key? I bought a R53 that they left the battery disconnected while changing the clutch out. And I am thinking this is my problem but trying to do it myself because we don’t have a mini dealer in the Tri-Cities. Closest one is Seattle or Spokane
I just installed the auxiliary driving lights but are telling me I have to have the dealer program it to the high beam headlights. Will any of these do that since the closest dealer is 4hours away?
Hi, my mini cooper R52 has a error code 5E15 Control Unit internal. Also on the same time the triangle DSC light was on. I search on google it said that the DSC pump module has internal failure. The good thing is, when I turn the ignition off the DSC triangle light was goes off. Have you ever know about this symptom? And have you ever replace a mini cooper 1st gen DSC pump/control module? Thanks in advance.
hey mod, I've used my own tool to diagnose a blown fuse and camshaft timing sensor, but my traction control light is also on and I can't figure out why? any advice as to how to know what trips that light?
Depends on budget and what you are trying to do. Creator is good for most things, Foxwell is the best for the money, Launch is best if you work on lots of cars and have lots of diagnostic needs and is the easiest to use.
@@ModMINI thanks for the feedback. I only work on my own car. Got to change most of the gaskets soon as the car has done 98000 miles and leaks quite a bit of oil. Your videos have helped me out a lot looking forward to doing the upcoming work. Thanks again.

The foxwel also test most items on the mini and BMW , I.E. test all windows doors locks fans and other items
Yes. The Foxwell is also very powerful. But limited to BMW / MINI only. There are other versions of Foxwell for other manufacturers

You have to visit dealer or possibly independent BMW shop for that
Curious to know the foxwell you don’t show just that Sheboyga one that is grey but I am curious which is better or are they the same?
Foxwell and Schwaben are the same with different branding.
I just installed the auxiliary driving lights but are telling me I have to have the dealer program it to the high beam headlights. Will any of these do that since the closest dealer is 4hours away?
You'd have to check with the dealer.

DSC is disabled if there are faults present on either DME or DSC modules. Scan all modules in the car and address any faults discovered.
