This has to be the best information. No one else mentions that when discussing the reset. Thanks for the help
Great to hear! Thanks for posting!
Just changed my brake pads and wear sensors but no matter what I did the light wouldn't go away. After calling BMW they wanted to charge me $2000 to full replace my brakes AGAIN and this 1 minute video literally just saved me thousands. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
LOL AWESOME HALO! Thanks for posting this! Very happy my video helped you out!
Freaking crooks!!!
I have been Battling this for the last 2 hours, even went to bmw and purchased a genuine sensor to make sure it wasn't the aftermarket sensor I purchased at fault and still wouldn't reset.... your video worked a treat, many thanks
That is awesome bud! Thanks for commenting!

Your Welcome Peter! I was hoping this video would be helpful!
Superb. Thanks finally did it. 👍👍👍
Awesome!
RUclips should trend this. What a lifesaver!
Thanks Luis! I agree LOL! Glad the video was helpful!
@@AskTheCarExperts I changed the breaks and followed this step the reset brake option does not come up. Only service oil, brake fluid etc. what could cause that?
@@harput9745 Newer model BMWs do not have a brake reset unless the sensor is tripped when worn down.
@@AskTheCarExperts it’s a 2021 740 so how does the brake light reset?
@@harput9745 You would have to trip the light by putting in a sensor with an open circuit or use a scan tool to reset. If you have not warning for brakes you can just ignore any reset for now.
The exact info I needed....Thanks
Glad my video helped!
I owe you a beer!!
Sounds good my friend! LOL!
Make that two beers!
Worked for me! Much appreciated! 🙏
Glad it helped!
Omg you saved me. I was getting ready to drive down to the parts department and raise hell about a faulty sensor!
LOL 😆

Brilliant mate thanks for your help, stuck here in the UK scratching my head. I will add that you mustn't have low battery brake fluid washer fluid or fuel otherwise the computer craps itself. Top man. Nice pint of English ale waiting for you next time you're in London

Your welcome!
Thank you for info!!!!
You bet!
Replaced pads and sensor and Did everything you suggested but mine still wont reset the front brake pad warning light! Any tip? Thanks.
Sorry to hear that. Make sure the sensor is fully seated at the connector. You could test out the system by jumping the pins to each other on the harness side. The system is looking for a closed circuit. When the sensor is worn it breaks the internal contact and trips the light. If you jump out the connector body side to each other and it still will not reset the issue is in the wiring before this connection.
You’re the best! Saved my ass
Awesome, William!
Much appreciated, my man! 👍

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GAS IN THE CAR! Could not reset because low gas warning light
LOL Yes any check control message that pops up can also prevent resetting. Gas would help in this case :)
Will this help if my brake is stuck? I had the auto hold on, came to a stop and now the brake it’s screeching on one side. Brakes are new as well.
Hello, Sorry to hear you have an issue with your vehicle. This would be reset the service indicator. It may be that you have a stuck caliper or the brake installation was not correct. I would inspect the vehicle and disassemble the brakes to find the failure.
@@AskTheCarExperts it ended up being an object or something was stuck. After a few hours the noise went away and the car is fine. Going to take it tomorrow to have the brake checked though.
Thx
Glad it helped!
Didn’t work … still unsuccessful. Any other ideas?
Possibly a faulty sensor
Can I just change the brake pads or do some sensors need to be replaced when changing the pads as well?
Hello, if the sensor is worn through setting the brakes due light the sensor will need to be replaced. Often they break when removed anyway.
I changed the breaks and followed this step the reset brake option does not come up. Only service oil, brake fluid etc. what could cause that?
This is common now on newer BMW's. If the sensor is not tripped there will be no reset option. If you do your brakes pre-emptively you can cut the sensor and cause the light to come on then reset. Or disregard any reset until you get a warning due to time and then reset again. Or you would need a high end scan tool like the autel to do the reset electronically.

So I have a 2017 330e and it’s still saying unsuccessful. Front brake pads are terrible
Hello, It will not reset unless the sensorn is replaced. If it still does not reset then you need to reset it using a scan tool.
Mines not coming up with the brake pads option but everything else comes up ?
If the brakes are not due then the option does not show any more. You will have to wait for the warning to come on or unplug the sensor to make the warning cone on. Then it can be reset.
Yeah i got stuck with this too, then only realised when looking for the issue that the parking brake was on DOH.
Crazy how that prevents the reset!
@@AskTheCarExperts Just a small issue really, unlike the Fords with their wet belts🤣🤣
It works on F10?
Correct, if the E brake is on it will prevent the reset. But if you have a bad sensor or the sensor is worn and not replaced you also will not be able to reset the warning.
Hi. Is the car supposed to be on or off?
Engine not running but key on with all cluster lights on.
How about BMW 5 series 2023?? Please.. 🙏
Are you looking for the service reset procedure?
@@AskTheCarExperts yes please, I try as you show, but my car is 2023, maybe thats why I can not do that 😔
what about a 2008 328i
Most likely a defective sensor.
Thanks! Slava Motors Inc.
You are welcome bud!
Bmw really ain't shit...you have to be McGuyver to fix simple things...still love my car tho 😂
😀 That's is very true bud but they are an amazing ride!
Didn’t work
Sorry to hear that. The issue may be in the car or sensor.
I changed the breaks and followed this step the reset brake option does not come up. Only service oil, brake fluid etc. what could cause that?
It’s a 2021 bmw x7
It comes up: Cont. driving possible:
Brake pads.
It should have a reset option, but on some cars, I need to use a scan tool to reset the brake pad warning.
