05 Internal Fault (EEPROM)

MINI does not provide diagnostic information based on MINI-FC codes. All diagnostic information is based on P-codes. For MINI-FC code descriptions and corresponding P-code translations please refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions, find the P-code that corresponds with the MINI-FC code, and use the appropriate information based upon the P-code. See: Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/P Codes 05 Internal Fault (EEPROM) 05 Internal fault (EEPROM) Possible cause(s) of fault: Terminal 30 not activated Memory cell defective EMC scatter Storage condition(s): At ignition off, data is written in the EEPROM area. With ignition on, the data in the memory is checked. In the case of implausibility of the EEPROM data, this fault entry is made. 2004 Mini Cooper (R50) L4-1.6L (W10) Copyright ? 2013, ALLDATA 10.52SS Page 2 If there is no power supply via terminal 30, it can occur that the data transmission cannot be performed completely. If memory cells are defective, implausibilities can result. Note: This fault is frequently a secondary fault when terminal 30 was interrupted. Troubleshooting procedure: Check power supply to terminal 30 Clear fault memory, switch ignition off/on and check whether the fault is entered again Yes: replace steering angle sensor No: ignore fault, as it is likely that EMC scatter or a temporary power supply interruption was the cause Note: After replacing the steering angle sensor, it must first be coded and then calibrated using the ABS/DSC diagnostic program.
