Mini One cruise control malfunction

Got a bit of an odd one with my 2014 Mini One. The cruise control has gone completely kaput. I'm getting an error message in the speedometer, and naturally, the cruise control itself isn't working at all. I've had a quick look, and the error memory seems to suggest a defective cable or plug connection somewhere in the system. Anyone else had a similar experience? Feels like I'm driving without half my brain now!

Summary of the thread

The 2014 Mini One's cruise control malfunctioned, displaying an error message on the speedometer. The issue was traced to a defective cable or plug connection within the system. A diagnostics check confirmed the problem, and a workshop repair resolved it.

I had a similar issue with my Mini One, also a gasoline model. The cruise control suddenly stopped working, and I got an error message on the speedometer. It could be a faulty system related to the throttle body or even something with the steering wheel controls. Have you checked the car electronics? A diagnostics check would be a good starting point.

Thanks, that's really helpful! When you mention throttle body or steering wheel controls, are you thinking it's more of a car electronics issue than a mechanical one? And did the diagnostics specifically point to the throttle body or steering wheel, or was it more general?

Yes, in my case, the diagnostics pointed to a cable or plug connection issue. It's like a bad connection in your home's electrical wiring. I'd recommend taking it to a workshop for a thorough check. They can pinpoint the exact location of the fault and fix it properly.

Just wanted to let you know that I got it sorted. You were spot on. The diagnostics pointed to a defective cable or plug connection, just like you thought. Cost me 95€ to get it fixed at the workshop. Thanks a bunch for the help!
