Mini Countryman Electric System Readiness Check Incomplete

Alright, I'm hoping someone can shed some light on a rather annoying issue I'm encountering with my 2023 Mini Countryman Electric. The vehicle has 136119 km on the clock. I keep getting a 'System readiness check incomplete' error message in the speedometer, and the error memory confirms it. As far as I can tell, the most likely culprit is that the car was recently read out via OBD2 diagnostics. Has anyone experienced something similar, and what steps did you take to resolve it? I'm trying to avoid a costly visit to the dealership if it's something I can address myself.

A 2023 Mini Countryman Electric displayed a 'System readiness check incomplete' error, likely due to a recent OBD2 diagnostic readout. The issue was identified as incomplete I/M monitors, which can occur after diagnostics. A specific Mini drive cycle procedure was suggested as a potential solution, but ultimately, a workshop visit was recommended. The workshop performed a system reset, resolving the issue without cost after a short drive.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

System readiness issues after an OBD2 readout are not uncommon, I had a similar experience with my Countryman. Did you check the I/M monitors with your OBD2 scanner? Some monitors might not be ready, like the catalyst or EVAP. Typically, a drive cycle will reset everything, but it can be a pain. Have you tried following the Mini drive cycle procedure?

Thanks for the quick response! I did check the I/M monitors and, like you said, a couple were showing as 'not ready'. I tried a generic drive cycle, but it didn't seem to do the trick. You mentioned a specific Mini drive cycle procedure where can I find more information about that? Is it something I can do myself, or will I need specialized equipment?

Yes, that sounds exactly like what happened to me. The Mini drive cycle can be a bit specific, and honestly, I never managed to get it to work perfectly myself. I would recommend taking it to a workshop. They have the tools to force the system readiness and clear the error. It shouldn't be a major job.

Just wanted to update this thread. I took your advice and brought it into the workshop. Turns out, even though I hadn't cleared any codes myself, the OBD readiness monitors hadn't fully completed their cycles since the last time diagnostics were run. They performed a system reset and after a short drive, the system readiness check completed. No cost, and everything is working as it should. Thanks for the help!
