Reasons Behind the Failure of the Cruise Control in Your Mini Cooper

The Mini Cooper is equipped with advanced technologies for the ease of driving and also to provide passengers with a comfortable ride.

One such technology which is being used in most high-end cars and also in the Mini Cooper is adaptive cruise control or simply cruise control.

The cruise control is very helpful for drivers going on a long drive as this lets them relax while the cruise control takes control of the car.

Here are the reasons behind the failure of the cruise control in your Mini Cooper.

The vacuum actuator along with a cable connected to the throttle is used to maintain the cruise control speed in the Mini Cooper.

If you are driving an older Mini Cooper, then the cruise control may stop working if the vacuum actuator malfunctions or there is damage to the vacuum hoses.

Furthermore, the system will fail if the cable connecting the actuator to the throttle gets broken in the Mini Cooper.

The brake pedal switch's job is to turn on the brake lights when it senses that the brake pedal has been pressed.

The cruise control system of your Mini Cooper is designed to shut down when the brake pedal is pressed as they are connected to the brake pedal switch.

If the brake pedal switch malfunctions, then the Mini Cooper will think that the brakes are engaged which will not allow the cruise control system to function.

The job of the speed sensor is to indicate the speed of the Mini Cooper, regulate the flow of the fuel and ignition timing and to operate the cruise control.

However, if the speed sensor stops working, then the cruise control will also cease functioning in your Mini Cooper.

In addition to this, the engine will have more difficulty when idling whenever the speed sensor stops working.

It is a known truth that the cruise control helps you in driving your Mini Cooper and is certainly an important part of your car.

Whenever you experience any issues while operating the cruise control, then take your Mini Cooper to an automobile repair shop to fix the issue.
