To perform a throttle body reset on a MINI Cooper, start by ensuring the ignition is off. Press the gas pedal all the way down with the ignition off. Then, turn the ignition to the third position for 30 seconds without starting the vehicle. Be sure to keep holding the gas pedal down during this step. After 30 seconds, turn off the ignition and remove the key, keeping the gas pedal pressed. Once the key is out, release the gas pedal and wait for another 30 seconds. Now you can start the car as usual. Following these steps will successfully reset the throttle body adaptation on your MINI Cooper.

    My compact car uses keyless entry with a fob. I cannot reset it. The throttle completely stops working without any error showing. It's a 2009 model registered in the UK, running on petrol and with the model code R56.
