Auto PDC failure

mini countryman cruise control failure

  • Add to quote

Hi Members, I have a 2018 JCW F56 and this has appeared on my dash "Auto PDC failure". Check Control also reads "Auto PDC failure". Details "Activate PDC manually. Have the problem checked by your Service Partner" Rear camera is active however there is an image shown next to it as a car with a warning triangle front and aft. Sensors are all clean, but nothing is showing in either forward or reverse with regard to colour bands or beeping. Fuses checked and appear normal and somewhere I've read about a power steering fan that uses the same electrical supply causing overload of power due to salt dirt ingress as it is located beneath the engine where all the rubbish causes it to seize blowing the fuse. I've yet to check this but wondered if anyone can offer any assistance ? TIA Kev

I have this issue. What has caused it? What is the solution and the cost?  

Maybe this will be of some help? " the easy way to find out which bumper sensor or sensors that are not working correctly is very simple no diagnostics needed but better if have them,, anyway turn on ignition put car in reverse engine not running or course, then go to rear of car put your ear to each sensor if clicks then its work perfectly if dont click then thats the faulty one, then its either the wiring plug in behind in the bumper or normally the sensor, also they all must click at same sound level loudness one that clicks less than others also faulty,, pdc works a bit like a seal clicks and listens to the echo back clicks,, 9 times from 10 this is always why the fail bmw should be shot for using such rubbish in by view,, to check front ones ignition on do same one other point if ne sensor goes down they all fail looks like its a ecu issue when its not " The above is from a post by Mike1967. The forum MINI expert.

Issue with my daughters mini was a faulty sensor. They can get hit by stones etc which damages them.

Cruise Control and the Limit Button

mini countryman cruise control failure

  • Add to quote

Hello, I traded in my 2015 F56 for a 2022 F60. The steering wheel is a bit different on the F60, specifically the left side buttons. My F56 had a Cruise Control button, which turned on CC or turn it off. It also had a Set button, which you could use to set the speed of CC. The F60 doesn't have a Set button. It does however have a completely useless LIM button, which is a Speed Limit function. I find this to be useless since Cruise Control does generally the same thing only more. My problem: I often hit Cancel while CC is active, and drive a little before wanting to reactivate CC. But if I hit Resume, it goes back to the previously set speed. This is usually okay, but sometimes I want to set a new speed altogether. On my F56, I could just hit Set and it was good to go. On the F60, I have to hit the CC button twice, once to turn it off, and once to set the new speed. Is it possible to reprogram the LIM button, which I never use, to a Set button? Or does the system no longer have the ability to set a new speed if CC is on and either active or inactive? I hope that makes sense?  

Do you have the + and - buttons? Instead of hitting resume try hitting + and see if that works.

Give the Limit button a chance. I love it in the city where cruise control most of the time can't be used. But with the limit set, you don't have to worry about speeding.

Mate that is a brilliant tip, just tried it out in the city and it works fantastically!

On my wife's car the LIMIT button is in the middle of the circle and the CRUISE on the outside edge, on my car the switches are the opposite way around. With the centre button you just press it and the function is activated at the speed you are driving be that cruise or limit depending on model. The outside button primes the system and needs another press or resume to activate. As others have said cruise and limit do very different jobs. Cruise maintains a set speed with no throttle input from the driver (with active cruise it also slows you dow if something is in front of you). Limit stops the car going over a certain speed or alerts you when you do (as rolling down hill can exceed a low limit speed) you can also override the limit function by pressing the throttle to the floor (for overtaking without disabling the limit function)

Hi, there Does anyone find that the cc button is not sensitive? I keep on getting 10km increase rather than 1km no matter how gently I press. I just got a 2018 mini.  

It takes getting used to. Had the same issue in the beginning.

Just a v gentle touch does you small increments. You can feel the indent.  

Many thanks! I am slowly getting hang of it!
