The P1613 engine code on a 2006 MINI indicates a problem with the engine control module (ECM) related to the immobilizer system. This code often signifies that the ECM is unable to recognize the key or that there is a malfunction in the communication between the key and the immobilizer system. It may result from issues such as a faulty key, a damaged immobilizer module, or problems with the wiring. To resolve the issue, a thorough diagnostic check should be performed to identify the specific cause.

From Allexperts.com P0708 indicates a problem with the signal received by the transmission control module (TCM) from the range switch (also inhibitor switch or neutral safety switch). Typically, the issue is that voltage was received on one of the circuits when not expected, typically caused by a shorted switch. P1613 simply indicates that the TCM requested the engine control module (ECM) to turn on the check engine lamp. In most cases, replacing the range switch resloves the issue.
