In simpler terms, the EMI light on your MINI Cooper is like the check engine light on other cars. When this light comes on, it means there's something wrong with your car, but it could be due to various reasons. Instead of trying to find the issue yourself, it's best to take your car to a mechanic who can use an OBD tool to identify the problem. One easy thing to check first is your gas cap and fuel door because if they are not secure, the light may come on unnecessarily.

The EML light, commonly known as the engine management light, can be reset using an OBD tool, but unless the underlying issue is fixed, the light will illuminate again. OBD scanners are relatively affordable and allow you to check the codes on your own.

I connected a budget-friendly OBD reader that ended up causing the fuse for the instrument cluster (which includes the rev counter and speedometer) to blow. Despite attempting to restart the car multiple times without success, once I replaced the fuse, the EML light reset itself and now lights up when starting alongside the other lights, before turning off. It seems there might be a way to reset the EML by removing this fuse, inserting the key in the ignition, pressing start without pressing the pedal, removing the key, and then reinserting the fuse.
