It will never reset if its an aftermarket sensor. Never! Only other way to make sure its not the rear stopping the warning from going out. if all fails take a gem clip and jump it
@@Spiritualwarfare587 I was just asking you what you mean by saying put the car in neutral on another comment you left. I think the issue is many people use their parking brake, and that's the hangup. I don't use a parking brake, so that's why it worked for me in PARK with no issue. My only issue was that one of my brake sensor wires got damaged when I pulling it off the caliper. Got a new one and BAM...done deal. Light went away.
Very welcome, brotha! Glad it worked the first time thru. Some folks are worried when it doesn't work, but it will. I did like you did; replaced the sensor too.
It works when you release the E-Brake. I also had same issue, but finally worked upon releasing the E-Brake before engaging in the reset procedure. Hope this helps....
Bam!!! See, I never use the handbrake so I'm glad folks be commenting and helping each other. I would've never thought anything about the handbrake. The BMW community be on it!! We look out for each other, brotha. Nice going!
Glad you got it done quick, brotha! I don't have time for some of these damn repair videos that be talking for 10 mins straight when they can do it in like a minute and be done! LOL! We got shit to do!
@@MicDropBBQ I’m having the same issue. I changed the rear break pads. Went to reset the message and it says unsuccessful. Were you able to get the message to go away. And if so how did you do it?
@@fernandogil9024 Yes, I had to replace the brake sensor. Once I did that, the message went away. Sometimes, the sensor wiring gets mangled when removing from the brake pads, as it's very brittle. I now have replacement wires in the garage for the next time I do it, in case it happens again.
@fernandogil9024 I did another video of it. Hahahaha! I think it's in the playlist. Not sure because it was a while back. I'll have to link the two videos if I posted it on the BMW playlist.
Closed. I didn't put my seat belt on either. One guy said you had to wear your seat belt. 😂🤣😂 I was like "Im.not wearing a seat belt in a car that's not moving...nor wearing a mask at the same time." LOL! It should work fine. I didn't try it with the door open.
@@slimyslots4981 BAM!!!! All good brotha! I recorded it when I was trying to get mine off and never posted the video til you advised me to. I guess THE PROCESS is really all we need to see, even tho mine failed to reset. I put the brake sensor on and got it to clear. I was like: DAMNIT! I DIDNT RECORD IT! Luckily, I did! hahahaha! You reminded me that I did. I just had to find the video in my files. Glad I didn't delete the video.
Man it doesn’t even give me the option to reset brake pads. It gives me vehicle check, oil, and brake fluid. But no option for brake pad reset. Any help?
@@boom_roastedd That sucks! If you go at the pace of the video, it should work. I was doing it in real time. Were you getting the "RESET UNSUCCESSFUL" message? Or was it just not allowing you to even get to the reset part?
When you reset, does it say unsuccessful? Or does it just not try to reset? Maybe that sensor isn't plugged in, if it keep says unsuccessful. Mine had a bad wire, so the moment I replaced it, it reset just fine. It kept saying unsuccessful at first!
What is weird about is that my friend ran the OBD software thing to clear out the error. That did not solve the issue as well. We then replaced the sensor with the old one and “jumped” by splicing the wires and welding them together. Nothing happened. So I just ignored the warning. Next day I rode around 100 miles for a day trip. When parked the car I tried again to reset it. That time it finally reset it. Maybe the car needed to run some miles for sensors reading to “re-adjust” within the car’s computer.
I don't use the parking brake because I park on flat pavement. But I did pin a comment a month ago on this video (from Carlos) saying that he uses his handbrake and many comments pn this video already have said to release the parking brake, for those that use it.
Yup. Super easy. It's plug n play, literally. I didn't replace it that day, but I replaced it like a week later when the part came in. The light went off when I replaced it!
Reset impossible? That's new. Should say UNSUCCESSFUL. If it says that, then it could be brake sensors needing to be replaced as well. Those thin wires could separate when removing them from the pad.
Thank you so much for responding. I probably switched something accidently because its reading reset impossible for reseting any function listed from oil on down
You just gotta do it in steps and give yourself a second or two longer, between steps. Don't rush it. It will give you time. When I first tried, it didn't work. I was going thru the steps too fast.
Just putting the car in neutral will remove the pad mileage and reset it? Or are you saying do the process while the car is in neutral? I did it in park and it worked fine. I also don't use my parking brake (I park in my driveway or my yard. Both have no incline).
Did you get to the part where it tried to reset? Did it say UNSUCCESSFUL? If so, then it's a sensor that probably has to be replaced. I did my brakes and I knew the pads were new. Change the rear sensor and BAM!! The SUCCESSFUL light popped up!
Turn the car off and start again. Make sure you're holding the buttons until the menu at the bottom pops up. I was having the same issue you were having when I first tried. Don't let up. That menu is for lord knows what. LOL! Give yourself time when holding the buttons in the right increments. It'll come up! Trust me!
You may have to replace a sensor. I did and it went to SUCCESSFUL. Sometimes those thin wires on the sensor come apart as they're hanging by a thread anyways. Replace that and see if it makes a difference. My rear sensor was bad.

I made all the procedures and still got the message that cant reset (all doors closed, handbrake down)
Do you guys have any idea why?
I had the same issue and it was my brake sensor that needed to be replaced. Once I replaced it, SUCCESSFUL popped up!

@@skillz1855 I just ordered mine offline. Could've been BMW or not. Not sure, but it worked. I think it was BMW, tho.
E brake must not be engaged and all doors close + put car in neutral not parking

It worked for my 2020 BMW 730. I changed the front break pads and sensor. Thank you for that info

I never use my e-brake, so that's good to know!
Yes, releasing the E-Brake worked for me also.
Cheers man! Worked for me following people’s suggestions here to take handbrake off

Release the parking brake and repeat the process and it should work. 😊
Thanks bro, you saved me hundreds of euros for not taking it to BMW to remove the error
Literally sitting in the driveway saving money. Hahaha! All good brotha!!
YOU NEED TO RELEASE THE HANDBRAKE AND DO NOT DEPRESS THE FOOT BRAKE WHILE CARRYING OUT THIS.
True. I don't use the handbrake, but I'm sure some people do. I never thought about the handbrake because I park on a level driveway.
I am gonna try this thank you was the door open or closed when doing this?
Closed. I didn't put my seat belt on either. One guy said you had to wear your seat belt. 😂🤣😂 I was like "Im.not wearing a seat belt in a car that's not moving...nor wearing a mask at the same time." LOL!

Did the pad mileage light come on yet? If so, that should be the very first light you get.
Same here!! I’m getting the vehicle check, oil and brake check. Please keep me posted if you were able to figure this out.
@@simonneeman9323 I had to go to an independent bmw shop to reset it for me using bmw ISTA software
@@boom_roastedd ah man, that’s annoying… so did they just eliminate the ability to reset it from the diagnostic menu from now on?

work 👍🏻👍🏻
There you go, Juan! Glad it worked for ya, brotha!
I did change my sensor along with the brake pads and I can’t still reset the light on the dash! Sometimes BMWs sucks!
When you reset, does it say unsuccessful? Or does it just not try to reset?
Maybe that sensor isn't plugged in, if it keep says unsuccessful. Mine had a bad wire, so the moment I replaced it, it reset just fine. It kept saying unsuccessful at first!
You have one sensor in the front and one sensor in the rear. Did you swap both?
@@MicDropBBQ it says “unsuccessful”.
@@MicDropBBQ I only changed the rear brake pad. Front brake pads are good. Dash called for rear brake pad, no warning for front brake as well.

Very welcome brotha!!
Release the park brake and do it..
I don't use the parking brake because I park on flat pavement. But I did pin a comment a month ago on this video (from Carlos) saying that he uses his handbrake and many comments pn this video already have said to release the parking brake, for those that use it.
Bro, should I release the hand brake before carry on the procedure? I replace a new sensor and it popped up unsuccessfully reset
I did not have my hand brake activated when I did the procedure.
Doors and hood have to be shut also ebrake has to be released
Not sure why someone wohld.have the hood open and ebrake engaged during a brake job, but I wouldn't put it past people. 😆😅🤣 You just never know!
You replace the brake sensor?
Yup. Super easy. It's plug n play, literally. I didn't replace it that day, but I replaced it like a week later when the part came in. The light went off when I replaced it!
I’m having the same issue. So I have to buy new brake sensor as well??? Please advise. Thank you!!! 🙏
Do you know where I can buy this part. Thank you.
I AM HAVING A ISSUE RESETING MY 330i,
I am getting a message on the screen that reads, reset impossible
Reset impossible? That's new. Should say UNSUCCESSFUL. If it says that, then it could be brake sensors needing to be replaced as well. Those thin wires could separate when removing them from the pad.
Thank you so much for responding. I probably switched something accidently because its reading reset impossible for reseting any function listed from oil on down
Man I been trying and it won’t work for me ugh

Wouldnt reset on mine until i took the parking brake off
I don’t have in option to reset brake! How to reset?
My video explains all I know. Anything outside of this, I wouldn't know.
Put gear in neutral and u done
Just putting the car in neutral will remove the pad mileage and reset it? Or are you saying do the process while the car is in neutral? I did it in park and it worked fine. I also don't use my parking brake (I park in my driveway or my yard. Both have no incline).
I can’t reset my brake service 😢
Did you get to the part where it tried to reset? Did it say UNSUCCESSFUL?
If so, then it's a sensor that probably has to be replaced. I did my brakes and I knew the pads were new. Change the rear sensor and BAM!! The SUCCESSFUL light popped up!
It will not reset unless u actually change the brake pads lol I tried it too 😂
I bet it is based on the level in the master cylinder. If it doesn't change to reflect it's at max/full, it may not register as new in the ECU.
Mine just brought up a menu
Turn the car off and start again. Make sure you're holding the buttons until the menu at the bottom pops up. I was having the same issue you were having when I first tried. Don't let up. That menu is for lord knows what. LOL! Give yourself time when holding the buttons in the right increments. It'll come up! Trust me!
@@MicDropBBQ rapid response mate cheers😂 got the thing to come up but now says unsuccessful as yours does
You may have to replace a sensor. I did and it went to SUCCESSFUL. Sometimes those thin wires on the sensor come apart as they're hanging by a thread anyways. Replace that and see if it makes a difference. My rear sensor was bad.
I think the menu comes up if you hold the bc button to soon. Make sure the parking brake is off also when trying to reset
