Mini ECU Fault Causing 2EFE and 2EE0
If your Mini Cooper has stored the fault codes 2EFE and 2EE0, you’ll likely be experiencing running problems and have an engine warning light on. Don’t worry, many others are experiencing this issue too – their vehicles are also fitted with one of two commonly failing engine ECUs.
The Bosch MEVD17.2.2 and MEVD17.2.7 can be found on a variety of post-2010 Mini models. These Mini ECUs are known to fail internally and store codes for 2EFE and 2EE0.

Symptoms of MEVD17.2.2 & MEVD17.2.7 Failure:
2EE0 – Combustion Misfire & Fuel Injection
2EFE – Misfire Cylinder 2 Detected
When these Mini engine ECUs fail internally, you’ll experience significant running issues as well as the previously mentioned stored fault codes. Rough running and misfires are common when this control module malfunctions, resulting in non-start of the engine.
What causes 2EFE and 2EE0?
It’s likely your ECU has developed a known internal fault which is disrupting fuel injection and is causing your Mini to store 2EFE and 2EE0 codes.
The Bosch MEVD17.2.2 and MEVD17.2.7 are complex control modules responsible for managing direct fuel injection. These ECUs have an integrated misfire detection system meaning they don’t just detect misfire symptoms, but they also attempt to determine the root cause too. When the ECU itself is faulty it mismanages fuel injection, causing misfires. The ECU recognises the issue lies in fuel delivery and therefore can store the Mini-specific codes 2EFE or 2EE0 rather than generic misfire codes (P0300-P0306).
Our Mini Cooper 2EFE and 2EE0 Solution
When looking to resolve these issues, you may have been tempted to order a replacement ECU. However, brand-new units remain susceptible to the same malfunction. Instead, have your Mini Cooper ECU professionally rebuilt to eliminate codes 2EFE and 2EE0 at their root. Our service takes just 2-3 working days, and we’ll cover you with unlimited-mile warranty.
The 2EFE and 2EE0 Mini codes affect both the MEVD17.2.2 and MEVD17.2.7 – better understand both control modules below.
