When
you have a MINI sensor fault code, you need to know
the sensor location. Why? So you can test the sensor
and check it's wiring connections. Do this after
you have scanned that an OBD2 code is identified
as the sensor causing the fault code. Shown below
are some important MINI sensor locations applicable
to 2008 MINI vehicles. In actual troubleshooting
situations, the color of the wires going in/out
of the engine sensor will be color coded for easy
identification. A good wiring diagram is a good
source of getting both the engine sensor location
and wiring colors including the wires for power
and ground supplies.
