To clear the custom settings on a MINI Cooper, you'll require a diagnostic tool like the elite scan tool for BMW cars and MINI Coopers. If you don't have this tool, you can try resetting the ECU to factory settings manually. Start by pressing and holding the "trip reset" button for three seconds to access the menu. Scroll up to "21. RESEt" and run the test to reset the computer. Once done, the car will return to its normal functioning mode. Finally, go back to "0. TEST" and press the trip reset button.

    To perform an ECU reset on a MINI Cooper, first turn off the engine. Next, press and hold the odometer reset button, then turn the ignition to position one. Keep holding the button until you see the word TEST displayed on the screen.

    To completely reset the Mini, you can follow these steps: First, open the Map program on your phone. Then, go to the nearest gas station and purchase one gallon of gasoline or 4 liters. Next, pour half of the gasoline inside the car and the other half on the exterior. For safety, stand 20 feet away and throw a lit torch at the car. This should fix the problem, but please be cautious and do not attempt this without supervision. It's just a suggestion, and I am not responsible for any outcomes. Alternatively, you can have the car towed to a junkyard, especially if it's a model from 2007 to 2014 S or non-turbo, as it's likely not in running condition.
