Yellow led engine light illuminated..why
it lights up because the CPU has recorded a fault that needs urgent attention. stop check oil and coolant levels. have a fault code reading done and fix the fault. To continue driving will eventually place the engine in low power mode or will cause big dollar repairs.
I have a Mini cooper
It could be a slow leak in the radiator or hoses or the head gasket. The antifreeze could be blowing out of the cylinders rather than leaking to the ground.
1774 and 1775
There is probably no need to contact the BAR though you always have the right reserved. Trouble Code P1774 indicates your Mini's rear wheel speed sensor lost its signal, and trouble code P1775 indicates the right rear wheel speed sensor lost its signal as well. Both more than likely triggered during the dynamometer portion of the smog check inspection; while the front wheels are turning and the rear wheels are stationary. During this time, as far as the ABS system knows, the rear wheel sensors have lost their signals.After a computer reset and driving your Mini Cooper for a few miles everything should return to normal, as apparently they have; and you've passed the smog check. Should the check engine light return in the near future for the same trouble codes P1774 and P1775 we'd recommend inspecting the rear wheel speed sensors for possible debris build-up. Since these trouble codes where triggered during the smog check and smog check machine failure we can assume the trouble codes were temporary and not related to any physical problem with your Mini Cooper.
P0715
You may have a slipping torque converter clutch or worn bands. Contact a local transmission repair shop for further diagnoisis. The turbine speed sensors measure in and out speed of the main shaft, if a excess differance is seen then it will turn on the light and set the appropriate fault codes.
How do you re-set oil mileage after changing oil
If you do your own oil changes, this is a helpful tip to keep in mind. Typically, it is best to wait until your dealer maintenance service warranty expires, as an 'owner' reset could result in a missed oil change, particularly if the dealer checks the indicator it does not believe an oil change is due.
1. Locate the trip odometer button and depress and hold.
2. Insert the key into the ignition and partially turn into the first position.
3. Pay attention to the trip odometer to display the word 'RESET'.
4. Release the trip odometer button, then press & hold it again.
5. The 'RESET' message will flash.
6. Release the button, and then press & release again (once only)
7. The service interval is now reset to 10,000 miles
