How can I get the Service Engine Light to turn off? I unhooked the pos.battery cable and that didnt work . Anyone have any ideas.

Thanks,Robert

 

I suggest you go to a big box auto parts store...
Many will read the code for you...
Write it down for future reference...
Some codes can be cleared with their genaric code reader...
But clearing a code does not fix an issue which may be devolping....it may be your car telling you, fix me....ignore it, and the $$ goes up...and $$$$ up....or you may be walking.
So get the code read....and post the number...and somebody can tell you if it is a major thing. If you fo have an issue, the code, or a similar one will likely return.

 

I went to my local NAPA store to to see what codes I had since my service engine soon light is on. The codes he came up with are P0302,P0700,P2300,P2303 does anyone know what these codes are this service engine light being on is driving me crazy!
Thanks,Robert

 

From the Bentley Manual for 1st Gens
P0302 - Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected
P0700 - doesn't exist
P2300 - Ignition Coil 'A' primary control circuit low
P2303 -Ignition Coil 'B' primary control circuit low

http://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/ list the P0700 as transmission control system malfuntion

 

S or justa? What kind of fuel do you feed it?

Improper fueling can cause all sorts of issues that turn on that nasty light. Learned the hard way here.

 

I have these codes, that I can't find any info on. B1711, C1c03, P03aa. Any help would be appreciated.

 

I googled them as OBD2 codes

B1711 - Seat Driver Front Up Switch Circuit Short to Battery
C1c03 - no response
P03AA - Cylinder 3 Pressure Sensor Performance

I'm no MINI mechanic but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night...
