I had the same problem after replacing a new set of brake pads, rotors and wear sensor. I drove the car to outside for a few minutes, and then manage to reset it again, and this time it was successful.
I've just checked my outer pad, and it's nice and meaty! I'll need to wait until next weekend to have a thorough look now 🤦 200 mile commute and it's my only car in rainy England lol. Thank you for the insight bro.
Release your handbrake before doing it. I've just had same problem, found another video that said you've gotta release handbrake and take your foot off the brake pedal (so car is sitting on the gearbox parking pin only so do it on flat) and then it'll reset.
Hi just had the same problem on my X7 2019 but I think it's better to disconnect brake pads sensor and reconnect it again, the car electrical system will know it was replaced , you dot need to cut wiring for still working sensors . This save time and money
Thanks, saved my ass, tried using my snap on scanner and brand new thinktool scanner and could not do it with either of them but your method worked perfect. I did replace the sensor.

Dude, thank you. I'm such a moron, to not have thought of this. Of course the dash won't reset if you try to do it while the brakes are engaged. THANK YOU!!!!!
I have to add.. none of the BMW forums had that key piece of info about the brake pedal... my car is MT and parking brakes have been removed for nearly 2 years so foot on brake pedal when car is on and parked is habit.. Thanks for saving me taking off the rear tire and liner again.
Good job on the video. I'm having a similar issue, only problem is for me I actually installed a new wear sensor and I still get this message. I'm wondering if the sensor is defective or maybe I damaged it some how ... ?
I’ve heard that it needs to be reset with or without the parking brake being set. Have you tried both ways? Also, are you positive that the tip of the new sensor is installed fully and not contacting the rotor? Basically, yes, they can be sensitive and you may have damaged it. If you want to narrow it down a bit you can splice the wires together on the old sensor and see if it resets. If it does, you know the new one is also bad.
I changed pads, rotes and sensor. Tried multiple times, was unable to reset. But without parking brake being set, reset was successful. So make sure the parking brake is off.
Much easier to perform resetting is if you just release parking brake and switch off the auto hold system... Then you don't need to disconnect anything...
Yeah it’s really just one wire that runs through that little sensor. When the sensor wears through it breaks the circuit so you just need to tie the wire back together after cutting off the sensor on the end.
You still have to reset the service light after tying the wires. It simulates the same electrical resistance as a new sensor. Did you reset the light after doing it?
4:45 actually it worked! It took like 4 times and the last time I turned off my E brake (even though I did the front brakes) and it was successful! Thanks!
I CAN EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE THAT THE ELECTRIC BRAKE MUST BE DOWN WHEN THE BRAKE PADS RESET IS DONE, IN THE FIRST RESET YOU FAILED TO RESET BECAUSE YOU DID NOT DOWN THE ELECTRIC BRAKE... YOU EXPLAIN AND I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN WHY IT IS SO

This is the video I needed! Thank you, man.
I’ll do it tonight on my bmw i3!! Thank you so much ❤
I did on my BMW 530i, Thank you so much!!!
Thanks after a couple tries it works 👍
That was exactly my issue!!! Subscribed 💪🏿

@@NellumNai YES
Thank you. Just did my brakes and had the same issue.
Sure thing.
Thank you very much for your help it works THX 🙏

I experienced the same thing on a 2019 BMW X5 and this solved my problem. Thank you!
Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.
No problem
That’s because you did not release the handbrake. Release it then you do the reset.
Bro i love you this was such a fn headache 😂😂
I've just spent 2 frickin hours trying to reset this. None of the guides I've seen mentions the handbrake.
Easy, if you know how...
Legend
Wow this this this helped me a lot!!! Thanks
Still unsuccessful for me :/
Works perfect 👍🏽

Tried it and it works, thanks bro

Do I have to cut both sensors or just one?
I have same issue but with my engine oil reset it’s says reset unsuccessfull
Perfect! Thanks👍👍👍
You're welcome!
Hello, is it necessary to press the star stop button 3 times to then enter reset mode? I have not been able just pressing the mileage reset button
Yes it is
Good idea 💡
Thanks a lot
Thanks
No problem
Or just stick a jumper wire in the connector
Are you linked the yellow and red wire together or what ?!
Yeah it’s really just one wire that runs through that little sensor. When the sensor wears through it breaks the circuit so you just need to tie the wire back together after cutting off the sensor on the end.
@@newfinishautospa thank you bro i will try it
Get to the point
No shit come on
Handbrake needs to be OFF prior to reset
thanks for the advice. I was having this issue. handbrake off and reset perfectly.
why not just replace the sensor for $10?
Shorted the wires and still getting the alarm on a f31.
You still have to reset the service light after tying the wires. It simulates the same electrical resistance as a new sensor. Did you reset the light after doing it?
Still doesnt work bro
I tried to reset my brakes pad and end up resetting trip and now it reads 0000.00🤦🏽♀️
😂 the same happened to me
Nope.
It didn’t work bro
4:45 actually it worked! It took like 4 times and the last time I turned off my E brake (even though I did the front brakes) and it was successful! Thanks!

What this guy said is 100% correct, do not engage the electric parking brake and it will reset
