Mini Cooper S Fault Codes; Any Ideas?

MSPORTWORLD · 07-08-2012, 07:53 PM

Got a CEL on my '11 Cooper S and thought I would pull the codes myself with my Bav Tech Pro Scan Tool to see what they were before I brought it into the dealer.

Unlike on the BMWs which tell you exactly what the fault is at hand this one only gave me the codes.

Anyone have any ideas?

For future reference in case it happens to anyone else.

The 315A Fault Code in a Mini Cooper S is for Fuel Tank Vent Valve Stuck Open.

Fix: Replaced fuel tank vent valve and cleared fault

This is from my recent dealer visit w/car.
