Anyone else experience this? My MCS literally died up here in Rochester NY while I'm on my business trip. Check Engine, DSC and Tire Monitoring light immediately lit up after falatering on the expressway. I pulled to the side, tried several restarts (reboots?) to no avail.

MINI was nice enough to flatbed the car to the nearest dealer in Buffalo NY. A scan of the ECU revealed only a low-voltage condition and no other faults.

They're flat-bedding it back to me as I write this.

low voltage? Hmm, hopefully your alternator hasn't crapped out, or possibly the battery.

hopefully the dealer did a "phantom fix" like they're so good at

Cheers,
Ryan
