Mini Cooper ECU Repair – Fix Misfires & Non-Start Issues (2006-2015 Models)

Is your Mini Cooper suffering from misfires or non-start symptoms? At VCUS, we specialize in remanufacturing the original Engine Control Module (ECM), also known as a DME (Digital Motor Electronics), to resolve these issues and restore your vehicle’s performance.


You might experience running problems like loss of power, engine hesitation, or limp mode, often accompanied by the Engine Management Light (EML) constantly staying on. These faults typically occur before the vehicle becomes a non-starter. In rare cases, there may be no communication with the DME when trying to retrieve fault codes with diagnostic equipment.

Common Faults:


  • Misfire Across Cylinders: Faulty internal components in the DME will cause a constant cylinder misifre or multiple cylinder misfires. This issue will persist until repaired.
  • 2BD3 Monitoring Power Supply Sensor 2 CY320: Another common fault that leads to sensor errors, engine management light illumination, and eventual non-start.


At VCUS, we offer a full test and rebuild service, eliminating the need for costly replacements and reprogramming. Your ECU will retain its original programming, and we provide a lifetime warranty for all repairs, with a fast 2-3 day turnaround.

What Causes Mini Cooper DME Failure?


DME (Digital Motor Electronics) failure in Mini Cooper models from 2006 to 2015 is a common issue, often triggered by internal component breakdowns or electrical faults. Rather than replacing the entire unit, which can be costly and time-consuming due to reprogramming, VCUS offers a specialized remanufacturing process.
