#5 of 14 Re: Warning Symbol screw with a '!' in it [andi11] by busiris May 18, 2008 (5:50 pm)
Replying to: andi11 (May 17, 2008 8:01 pm) The icon you are seeing is the TPS (tire pressure sensor) monitor. You see it when starting the engine, as it is going through its diagnostic mode, like many other sub-systems do...   All dash icons are listed and explained in the owner's manual. Did you not receive one with the car?

Replying to: andi11 (May 17, 2008 8:01 pm) I have the same problem with my 2008 Mini Cooper and I was told by my car dealership that it is a Transmission Warning Icon. I took my vehicle in last week and received it back on Tuesday of this week and on Thursday the icon came on again. They are picking up my vehicle they believe it is a sensor problem because everything else checked out okay. It only comes on when the car is stopped and not running it is an Exclamation point within a screw. It is not a tire pressure problem. Replies to this message: tammy21063 (Aug 05, 2008 3:38 pm)

Replying to: my1mini (Jun 14, 2008 6:12 am) My 2008 Mini Cooper is doing the same thing. Doesn't do it everytime I turn the engine off. Very sporadic and I haven't identified a pattern. Has anyone found out any more info about this???
#9 of 14 maintenance notice by fendee Aug 08, 2008 (7:01 am)
Hi Guys,   I jus got my mini 2 months ago. Now, I drive about 2300 miles, but the number appeared when I start the engine is still said at 14000 miles to get the service from dealer. Anyone knows about this please let me know.   Thanks in advance.
#10 of 14 Warning symbol screw with a ! in it by coastalcooper Aug 26, 2008 (1:54 pm)
Hi All:   If the ! is inside a triangle, its the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control System). It's normal for it to come on for a second when you first start up, supposedly normal for it to flash when activated by erratic driving. There's a description of it in the owners manual (page 72 in my 2006 version.)   For some reason though, mine has started coming on after a hardish brake or turn and it stays on until I turn off the car - toggling the on off switch for it does nothing once the light comes on. The light is supposed to indicate a malfunction but I've noticed no change in how it handles.   At the same time, my Service Engine Soon light has turned on, I thought maybe in response to some bad gas. It turned off for a day by itself and is now back on.   Anyone have either of these problems?   Coastalcooper
#12 of 14 Error Code Any have a listing by wilemakeit Oct 22, 2008 (2:43 am)
My Mini has 2 codes 1612 and 1613. I have Googled and can not find anything out on them. HELP
#13 of 14 From what I can find by pf_flyer HOST Oct 22, 2008 (6:13 am)
I asked at a friend's repair shop this morning and those codes are not in their OBD II lists either, so I started digging around. The codes from P1610 to P1620 are something called SBDS Interactive codes across all makes. SBDS stands for Service Bay Diagnostic System, which is what lets you read codes about what's going on in your car. So I'm guessing that those codes are indicating that something is wrong with your onboard diagnostics system. I have seen some reference to a "software fault" with regards to these so I'm thinking my guess is not too far off. Replies to this message: wilemakeit (Oct 22, 2008 4:02 pm)

Replying to: pf_flyer (Oct 22, 2008 6:13 am) Well my speedo and tac are not working. I will assume this will be a dealer only thing. Thanks for your help
