P0192 on MINI by model: symptoms, diagnosis and fix
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.
Common Symptoms
- Long crank time
- Rough idle
- Stalling
- Loss of power under acceleration
- Fuel pressure fault codes
How to Fix
Replace HPFP and inspect cam follower for wear. Updated HPFP has revised internals. Check fuel pressure with scan tool - should be 50+ bar at idle, 100+ bar under load.

Frequently asked questions
What does P0192 mean on a 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 it is documented across 1 model: Cooper S.
What are the most common causes of P0192?
The most common causes of P0192 are: 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). The specific cause varies by vehicle.
How much does it cost to fix P0192 on a MINI?
Published repair estimates on MINI range from $500 to $1,200 depending on the model and root cause. If an issue mentions a recall or campaign, check your VIN with the manufacturer or NHTSA and confirm eligibility and coverage with a dealer.
