SITUATION
Customers with a genuine MINI “Click and Drive System” (C&D) accessory installed may complain of
steering system check control messages (CCM) and reduced steering functionality.
The concern starts after a software update to 4.28.1.x (21-03-500) or greater, and the issue can be
duplicated after placing a device on the MINI (C&D) Click and Drive accessory.
One or more of the following CCM may be stored:
Steering effort increased
Driving Stabilization failed
Speed control failed
Collision warning failed
Pedestrian warning failed
Possible customer scenarios:
Before driving: If the customer wants to charge a smartphone via the USB connection on the MINI C&D and plugs it in
before driving, the CCM messages mentioned above occur as soon as the ignition (KL15) is switched on
While driving: If the customer plugs in their mobile phone while the engine is running, nothing happens at first. Only when
the vehicle activates the automatic start/stop (vehicle stops at the traffic lights and engine stops), then the above
mentioned CCM messages occur.
A temporary solution for the customer to avoid a broken-down vehicle: Unplug the smartphone, turn
off the engine AND ignition, wait a moment and then start the engine again- The steering assist
should work again, and the customer can drive to a workshop.
Note: When installing the MINI Click and Drive accessory always use the most up-to-date installation
instructions, found in the Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC).
CAUSE
Changes in the vehicle software have increased the electrical demands of the 15N_1 circuit. A preinstalled
MINI C&D accessory may cause drops in voltage and module resets making components erratic.
CORRECTION
If the MINI C&D connection (+) A1* is installed at the BDC connector A258*3B pin 20, the MINI C&D (+) A1*
connection must be moved to the front power distribution box.
Note: Replacing the vehicle’s electric steering gear assembly will not correct this issue.
