My ABS and DSC lites are on. I had a idler pulley fail and the belt also broke while I was on I75. After the repaired was completed I was a day late for an appointment, so I just paid the mechanic and left. That's when I saw the lites on. I knew the guy at this repair shop did not know much about the Mini, so I though he did not put some plugs back together. The car run good so I thought I would get to when I got back home. I got back at it now and found a the two wires for the ABS were both cut. I repaired them, pulled the plug apart, and checked the circuit, wire to hub, with my meter - ok. Fuses check ok. My question is -- are the two systems, ABS & DSC connected at some point? Why would both systems activate the warning lites when I had this pulley failure. How do get these working again? Thanks Joe

 

What MINI do you have? Were the lights on before you dropped the car off for the pulley incident? After you repaired the ABS wire, did you reset the codes to see if they stay off/come back on?

 

2006 S Manual shift. The lights were not on before the pulley failed. I did not reset the codes because I do know how to and where to do that.

 

I'd first reset and see if the repair you did fixed the issue. I would also plug in to read what codes are in the system. You can try an advanced auto parts store to help pull the codes or you'll need to invest in an OBDII diagnostic tool.
