Mini Cooper Brake Booster Pressure Sensor Issue

Alright, so my 2023 Mini Cooper is throwing some codes and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. It has about 145820 km on it. I'm getting an error message on the speedometer, and the brakes feel like they're not doing their job properly. I ran a scan, and it's pointing towards the brake booster pressure sensor failing. Could this be caused by the brake system being bled incorrectly? Is vehicle safety compromised here?

Summary of the thread

A 2023 Mini Cooper exhibited brake performance issues and error codes, indicating a potential failure of the brake booster pressure sensor. The problem raised concerns about vehicle safety and whether it could be linked to incorrect bleeding of the brake system. The solution involved replacing the faulty sensor, which restored normal brake function.

Oh wow, that sounds like the exact same problem I had on my Cooper as well! I got similar symptoms: the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree, and the brake pedal felt really hard to press. Did you notice any difference in the ABS system?

ABS? Hmm, I didn't pay too much attention to that specifically. What exactly should I be looking for regarding the ABS system? Is it something obvious?

In my case, the ABS seemed to kick in way too easily, even during normal braking. Honestly, it all happened so fast that I couldn't pinpoint everything going wrong. I strongly suggest getting it checked by a professional. My own issue ended up with the car at the workshop because I really didn't want to gamble with the brake pedal.

Just wanted to update: it was indeed the brake booster pressure sensor. Cost me around 90€, and the brake performance is back to normal. The diagnostic tools at the workshop confirmed it. Thanks for the help!
