MINI Cooper - Diagnosis Without Guesswork: 2002-2006

For the 2002-2006 R50 MINI Cooper and R53 Cooper S Hatchback, and 2005-2008 R52 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Convertibles.

* Diagnostic tools and techniques
* Component descriptions and operation
* Circuit wiring schematics
* Pinout charts, waveforms, and nominal values
* Bus system operation and testing
* OBD II P-code (DTC) lookup

This MINI Cooper Diagnosis Without Guesswork handbook is a diagnostic manual written for the professional technician and the MINI enthusiast. Not intended to be a repair manual, this handbook is your comprehensive source for engine management and on-board system diagnosis.

For the MINI technician with advanced automotive test equipment, the circuit descriptions, pinout charts, wiring schematics, scope traces, and real-world nominal values will prove essential in diagnosing problem cars.

Even if you own only a generic OBD-II scan tool, a DVOM and a set of jumper wires, this book will help provide fast answers and guidance as it steps you through the diagnostic process.

As a result of publishing our MINI repair manuals, we have been asked for DTC-based diagnostic information. This handbook is a response to that feedback.

32 covers the steering system in great detail. From description / operation to testing, specifications and wiring.

* Tire Pressure Monitoring (Gr. 36)
36 gives details information on the TPMS system. Componenets, operation and reseting the system.

* Bus Systems (Gr. 61)
61 covers the bus system topology and breaks it down by each communication protocol used in the MINI. It then covers testing and diagnosing the bus system

* Electronic Immobilization System - EWS (Gr. 65)

* On-Board Diagnostics (OBD II)
OBD II covers the emission monitors and functions. DTC breakdown information and mode 6 data for each year.

Each chapter has wiring diagrams where they apply. For example Engine Management 13 has a diagram for each individual component covered.

Specifications can be voltage, resistance, amperage etc. If it applies to the component it is there.
