Multiple Techs Failed to Diagnose this Mini Cooper — Here’s Why!

Описание: 🚗 Mini Cooper No Communication Diagnostic | Scan Tool Won’t Connect (K-Line Issue)

In this video, we diagnose and fix a Mini Cooper that was completely stranded and impossible to communicate with. Multiple technicians attempted to scan the vehicle but no scan tool would connect, meaning no fault codes could be read at all.

This wasn’t a normal CAN-bus communication failure. Although this Mini Cooper does use CAN-bus for network communication, scan tool communication on this vehicle happens through the K-Line and that’s where things got interesting.

After tracking down the cause of the no-communication condition, I discovered a short to ground on the K-Line, which explained why every scanner failed. But even after identifying that fault there was still a hidden issue on the powertrain network that had to be resolved.

What was causing the short?
Trust me you won’t believe it.

In this video, you’ll learn:

Why no scan tool could communicate with this Mini Cooper

The difference between CAN-bus and K-Line communication

How a K-Line short to ground can completely block diagnostics

Why modern vehicles can still have multiple network faults at once

This is a real-world automotive diagnostic case that proves why assumptions can waste hours and why understanding vehicle communication systems is critical.

👉 Watch until the end to see what was actually causing the issue.
