Greetings everyone, My Vgate iCar Pro 2S scanner is unable to communicate with any of the modules in my 2005 Mini Cooper S (R53) due to a no-communication problem. Basically, I've tried everything that's commonly used for this. The splices under the seats appear to be fine, but I saw some strange, non-factory splices under the glovebox that make me dubious. Just wanted to reach out and see if anyone has dealt with a similar dead-bus/no-communications issue and could give me some pointers. What I've tested—the lengthy version The scanner connects without a hitch, however neither the ECU nor the ABS will respond. Specifically, I was looking at the diagnostic bus, which is the violet/white cable. In order to eliminate any potential problems, I unplugged each module on that line individually. This includes the power steering pump (EHPS), which I have verified to be OK. Concerning the electrics: The power is flowing into the OBD port. The integrity of the wire connecting pin 7 to the ECU ensures proper continuity. Since there is no continuity between pin 7 and the ABS connector, I will have to address the possibility of a broken bus branch leading to the ABS. No signs of corrosion or pins that have been bent or pushed back are seen on the ABS connector. To further exclude them, I additionally disconnected a few of more components: BCM—removed, all connections appear to be in fine working order. Turned off radio entirely. And the connections: Looked under both seats; everything seemed to be in order. I discovered some strange, non-factory splices behind the glovebox, and they make me suspect. Please let me know if you have any insights. I am grateful.

See the back subframe up close and personal while you're down there.

My 212 snapped in half the second I tried to use my jack on it. I wouldn't recommend it because of the price of the wrong jack.

Though I would have preferred a more uniformly saturating mist (for the front and back, particularly that stream for the back glass), it's actually quite passable. In addition to double-checking spirod's suggestion, I would just extend the duration of the wiper spray anytime you are travelling at a greater pace. On a purely anecdotal basis, I think it makes a noticeable difference to lightly tap the brakes while travelling at highway speeds and to spray washer fluid to ensure better saturation. (At least for many of these newer vehicles that want to conceal the wipers beneath the hood to the extent that you have to switch them to service mode to bring them up) The washer fluid spray installed on the wiper bars themselves is a brilliant design. The washer fluid spray on the new Palisade is permanently mounted below the windscreen, so it barely reaches the top portion of the window either parked or driving.

I see your perspective. For turning the tires, I already have one and a torque wrench.

Good morning

I experience tinnitus, so if the sound is high-pitched, it may be obscuring it.

If you possess a steel space saver spare, the shorter bolts required for its installation are typically included with the vehicle and are generally located in the styrofoam holder that accommodates the jack, wheel wedge, and warning triangle.

Ultimately, the outcome will largely hinge on the specific elements you intend to reset and the financial resources you are prepared to allocate. I state this as I have lately acquired a diagnostic tool from Foxwell, after conducting considerable research. All prominent brands are manufactured in China, although they differ in the systems they permit access to or allow for reset. Upon reviewing your prior post, it appears you may already possess a diagnostic tool. Most websites provide a "compatibility" checker; however, it is essential to review the fine print to see whether it will "actuate"—that is, send instructions to the malfunctioning unit—or merely reset or eliminate the code. - often promoted as "bi-directional" I ultimately chose a Foxwell GT60, as I required a device to reset the DPF. I saved much by ordering it through AliExpress without encountering any problems. Nevertheless, it remains positioned beneath the tree; I cannot ascertain its functionality in reality. (an update will be posted!) - I initially intended to select the NT650 Elite, which is also indicated as compatible with your Carens.

This capability is unavailable in Europe, likely due to legal constraints. In other markets, it is included in Mazda's Connected Services.
