so i just recently bought a 2006 Cooper s convertible mostly for the wife. It needed a few things to make it right for the road however the other day the battery drained an I used a jumper to start it however I soon realized the SES light was on and so was TpMS light and yellow hazard light with arrow around it pulled the code n it says p1611 I have looked for some info online however not much about it
can anyone help me out

 

Going to move you to the Stock Problems/Issues area.

1611 is a transmission module issue if I remember correctly but can be something as simple as the battery cable not having a good connection. How many miles on the car? How old is the battery? Have you had the battery tested?

 

battery is a year old car has 95k miles no I haven't had batter tested but I can take it to local parts store for a test

could it be the the transmission control module??

 

Check all your battery connections as well as how many volts you are pushing. Should be 13.5 volts if the alternator is working correctly. When there are weak batteries the MINI will throw some crazy codes.

Auto or a stick?

 

Its an auto
I checked the volts while running with multimeter n it's running at 13.99 volts

 

OK you have good voltage but what made the battery drain would now be logical to sort out. The dead battery could have thrown the code.

Have you cleared the code and if so has it come back?

 

it wont let me erase the codes
i even tried disconnecting the batter for 2hrs to see if would clear and as soon as I started it was on there I thought usually codes took awhile to appear

 

Your scan tool is not removing?

 

No it will not erase code

 

What tool do you have? Is it suppose to erase/remove the code?

 

It's a Bluetooth scan tool it erases code but after turning car off and on its right back on

 

I think I would do-the-cheap-stuff-first!
Disconnect the battery altogether.
Sandpaper the cables, terminals & ground connection points - don't reconnect them yet.
Find the ground strap by the right side engine mount, take it off & sandpaper it - re-install it tight. This seems to be the critical one.
There are 8 more ground points! There's a list here somewhere but I can't find it.
Re-connect the battery cables tight.
Fingers crossed & start the car.
