I have an 03 cooper s and im trying to reset the ecu...i get into the test but it doesnt go up to 19....it goes from 1.0-1.7.....how do i get to 19? am i doing something wrong?

These are the instructions i got
How do I reset the ECU?
1. With the key in the ignition, but in the off position, press and hold down the odometer reset button with one hand, while holding the button down, switch the key in the ignition to position 1 (first click) with the other hand.
2. The screen will have a number and the word “tESt”.
3. Scroll through the numbers by pressing the odometer rest button, through to 19 and wait a moment. (Note: the number order is: 1,2,10,19)
4. The message will say 19 "L i-off", flash to "L i-on", and back to "L i-off" again. When "log i-off" appears, press the odometer rest button again. You are now in the system.
5. Scroll through to 21. tESt and wait a moment. 21.0 rESEt will come up. Press the button once.
6. Your gauges will now make some sounds and movements. Once the lights come back on start your car. You have now reset your ECU and your MINI is now ready to relearn the new mods and your driving style.

 

no suggestions?

You need to read this thread. The only non-verified suggestion for reseting the adaptive values is to disconnect the battery for an hour. There is no info on what parameters are actually reset, but the overwhelming evidence is that these values can easily go back to what they were simply because that is the way you drive.

 

i would rather just do the trip counter way though...what am i doing wrong

 

Trying to reset the ECU/DME with a procedure that is only a cluster/instrument reset.

 

how do i do that

 

My post above is the answer to your question "...what am i doing wrong"

You can't reset the ECU/DME through the cluster/trip button.
