2002 Mini Cooper Base, Automatic CVTFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Door Latch with Micro Switches

The drivers door Lock/Unlock micro switch provides a switched ground input to the BC1.

Holding of the key in either the lock or lock position for longer than 1 second will request convenience opening/closing of the windows. The opening/closing operation continues as long as the key is held or until the windows are open/closed.

The door position micro switches provide a switched ground signal to the BC1 indicating door position. A high signal at the BC1 indicates the door is open and a low signal indicates the door is closed.
