Mini Cabrio Automatic Temperature Control Problem

My 2023 Mini Cabrio's automatic temperature control has ceased functioning. An error related to the interior temperature sensor is stored. The air conditioning system refuses to switch on. Mileage is at 190382 km. The probable cause, as I understand it, is a defective cable or plug connection. Anticipated repair cost: 95€.

I might have encountered a similar problem with my Mini Cabrio. It seems the automatic temperature control was acting erratically. Did you check the related fuses? Perhaps the temperature reading from the sensor is incorrect, which might explain the air conditioning system not engaging. Have you performed any sensor diagnostics?

Fuses are fine. I ran basic sensor diagnostics; it throws an error. Did your diagnostics also specifically point to a temperature sensor issue, and did you observe similar symptoms with the AC?

Yes, the diagnostics pointed towards the temperature sensor. The AC refusing to turn on was a key symptom. Given your situation and the error code, it seems quite likely your temperature sensor is indeed faulty. It may be best to take it to a workshop.

You were spot on. The workshop confirmed a faulty temperature sensor, likely due to a damaged cable. Repair cost was indeed 95€. Climate control is now functioning correctly. Thanks for the help.
