Any BMW/MINI enthusiast/mechanics on board?
 

To keep a long story short, I own a 2014 Mini Clubman and I brought a Sprint Booster (SB) from a member of northamericanmotoring.com (NAM). When I went to install the SB (which is a simple plug and play mod that will improve throttle response) my car ended up displaying a yellow check engine light (limp mode) and a light indicating cruise control failure.

Because I am getting absolutely no feedback from NAM I figured that I would check with the Acurazine community for some assistance... My questions are, but not limited to:

* is there a way to clear the warning lights?
* how can I return my car to non limp mode (when I uninstalled the product, limp mode and warning lights still existed)?

This product is a must have for the mini enthusiast and I would like to experience the benefits of this mod.

I thank you all in advance :thumbsup:

I would look for and try another mini board or hook an obd2 scanner and see what codes it's throwing.. That's all I got sorry.

Disconnect battery for a couple minutes and see what happens.

I own a R53. Everyone I know said sprint boosters are a waste.

Thank you all for the feedback... Sadly I haven't gotten any responses off of my mini forum...

Codes are all gone now:thumbsup:

The first time I disconnected the battery I must not have let it sit for long enough. After I uninstalled the SB I disconnected the battery for an hour which gave the car time to "reset" itself. After that the car drove fine and after a drive today, the engine light went off.

I gave the number a call as soon as I had the problem.... but sadly, it was a Saturday and nobody was in the help me out.

Well, as of right now, it has been a complete waste :whyme:

Good luck brother. It sucks buying a part for your car that doesn't work out the way you hoped it would.
