Video tutorial

In this video tutorial, you can see how to remove the yellow engine malfunction warning light in the Mini Cooper. It is important to note that this procedure does not resolve the issue; it merely removes the light.

However, it is a procedure that helps identify the type of fault. As shown, you will need the scan tool displayed in the video, which connects to the port under the dashboard on the left side.

Once connected, turn on the ignition and start the scan; the error code related to the problem will appear on the display. Navigate through the menu to the 'erase' option, as shown in the video, and press the Enter button to remove the light.

Finally, turn off and then turn on the ignition again to verify that everything has gone smoothly.
