P0192 on MINI
Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit Low Input
P0192 on MINI vehicles indicates fuel rail pressure sensor circuit low input. Au7o has documented this code across 1 MINI model — most commonly on Cooper S. This code means the fuel rail pressure sensor is reporting an abnormally low voltage to the computer, lower than the valid operating range. This sensor measures the pressure of fuel in the high-pressure rail feeding the injectors, which the computer uses to control fueling precisely. A low signal usually points to an electrical fault (such as a short to ground or open circuit) rather than genuinely low fuel pressure, though the two can look similar. You may notice hard starting, rough running, reduced power, or a no-start. Typical repair costs on MINI range from $500 to $1,200, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0192
- •Faulty fuel rail pressure sensor
- •Short to ground or open in the sensor signal wire
- •Corroded or loose sensor connector
- •Loss of reference voltage or bad ground to sensor
- •Damaged wiring harness near the sensor
- •Genuinely low fuel rail pressure (weak pump/regulator)
- •Faulty PCM (less common)
P0192 on MINI by Model
MINI Cooper S(1 issue)
- High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) Failure2007-2012
The N14 engine's high-pressure fuel pump (same issue as early BMW N54) fails prematurely, causing long cranking, rough running, and stalling. The internal cam follower wears down, reducing fuel pressure to the direct injection system.

What does P0192 mean on MINI?▼
P0192 stands for "Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit Low Input." This code means the fuel rail pressure sensor is reporting an abnormally low voltage to the computer, lower than the valid operating range. This sensor measures the pressure of fuel in the high-pressure rail feeding the injectors, which the computer uses to control fueling precisely. A low signal usually points to an electrical fault (such as a short to ground or open circuit) rather than genuinely low fuel pressure, though the two can look similar. You may notice hard starting, rough running, reduced power, or a no-start. On MINI specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
What causes P0192 on MINI vehicles?▼
Common causes on MINI: Faulty fuel rail pressure sensor, Short to ground or open in the sensor signal wire, Corroded or loose sensor connector, Loss of reference voltage or bad ground to sensor, Damaged wiring harness near the sensor. Specific causes vary by model and year — see the per-model sections below.
How much does it cost to fix P0192 on a MINI?▼
