Hi again , after reset i had put the plug back from the sensor and i had get the warning light back with the Brake pads reseted :( . Like the sensor is bad . Did tot ever encounter this ?
Thank you as the handbrake trick worked. Two garages in my local area spent about two hours each to reset after replacing discs, pads and cable but could not reset it. Legend.
SUCCESS! I was having the same issue with my 2011 X3. I replaced the rear brake pads and couldn't get the brake light warning to reset. Someone in the below comments suggested the following: Take off the wheel that has the brake pad sensor. Follow the sensor wire to a plastic black box. Open the box. Disconnect the wire. Insert a small paperclip into the two holes of the connection that returns to the car. Turn power on with parking brake off. Go through the reset process (described in this video and comments) and WAHLAH!!...no more warning light!
Great, it worked for me. My mechanic had replaced the pads but computer would not reset; he tried using his computer and then manual route. Neither worked, he begrudgingly said take it to BMW, so had it booked it for next week.
For everyone saying you need to replace the sensor, this is untrue. What you need to do is disconnect the brake wear sensor cable from the snap connector hidden inside the little box inside the wheel arch. Once you have it disconnected insert a paper clip or staple into the 2 small holes so that you have an unbroken link between both the connector holes. Then whilst this is still in position try doing the reset inside the car again. Bingo job done!!
Going to try this tomorrow evening, if the sensor is bad will it just come back on after I plug the sensor back in, or should I leave it unplugged. (my pads are in great condition...) Love me 535d but these reset procedures are nuts....BMW built in to increase dealer revenue for sure....
Si cambiastes pastillas desgastadas y el sensor hizo contacto, al cambiar pastillas pero no el sensor, este queda con circuito habierto y no podras hacer reset, me paso lo mismo, yo limpie los dos contactos que rozan la pastilla y les solde con estaño un pelo de cobre, luego hice el reset con el boton de la izquierda del panel de instrumentos y solucionado, tanto delanteras como traseras. Si no puedes soldar compra los cables sensores y pone nuevos
I had the same problem that reset possible but was unsuccessful. Try taking off the hand brake and repeat the process as on the video above ! Should work!
After successive failures the hand brake trick did work. First time I tried, the mileage went from green to red, which was strange since I'd had the pads changed a couple of months ago and I didn't expect to see any green in this menu for the fronts!. Regardless the reset failed! Second time it worked properly but I did have to turn the power off and on between each attempt. I suggest anyone having issues with this fix make sure you turn off/on before performing each reset. The garage who changed the pads told me the reason it hadn't reset was because the rears needing changing too - What a load of crap - checked these puppies myself and still got plenty of life in them. Happy driving x
i pressed the service button on wrong time means service was not due and now it has reset it with a future date how can i go back to before reset date or can fix the service date any idea i have bmw 5 series F10
Please HELP! I click and hold on the button but it never shows the service light. I only see the “main menu” and 1-10 like identification, system test etc..
Handbrake off (and don't press the brake pedal) is the key! Turn the car on but not the engine (press Stop/Start key but not pressing the brake), release handbrake, long hold odometer reset button (odometer will show zero, then go back to whatever distance it was - whilst you are still holding the reset button) until it shows the first Condition Based Servicing (CBS) item, press odometer reset button to cycle to the service you want to reset, long press odometer until message "Perform reset?", press odometer reset button until you see "Reset in Progress" (can release the Odometer reset button). If you've had the handbrake off AND not pressed the brake pedal then it should reset correctly.
@@paulrtjohnson8028 Sorry, no. Maybe there's a known manufacturer fault/recall notice. See if a Dealer can reset in front of you and infer they're an idiot if they can't operate the cars they sell 😉
Got same problem on my 2012 F25 X3 after replacing brake pads. The problem is if you wait until pads are close to being gone, then the sensors will start to worn & the vehicle computer registers this in its memory & require mechanics to follow specific procedure when replacing sensors to make sure the worn-out sensors are replaced. My mechanics did replaced brake pads+rotor+sensor, but the service indicator would not reset, so he had to call the dealer to find out why and got the procedure from dealer on how to reset brake service indicator (when the old sensors were worned).
Ima having the same problem I have a 2015 740i and the break light came on for the front break pads replace them but didn't replace the sensor and when I try to reset it said unsuccessful? Can anyone help me?
press fast . You need to press start button 3 times while holding the reset button . It will go to reset menu Than just scroll down to whatever u need to reset
go with the paper clip trick. It worked on my 2018 740e , I was told that sensor must be install into actual pad ceetain way ... Not to hassle. the trick with paper clip worked perfectly fine good luck
I had the same problem. Turned out the sensor for the brakes (which has to be chanhed when changing the pads) was not in all the way. Just had to take the sensor out and put it back in properly but be very careful when taking it out cuz i broke mine so i had to buy another one
Please help, I'm doing everything as you did but i keep getting into the hidden menu instead of the service menu, I tried everything. Engine off, ignition on, doors closed, hand brake released, not pressing break pedal. It seems I'm the only one with this problem
I believe if the engine is running you will get the hidden menu. Try to do it without running the engine. So press the start button without pressing the brakes, then try it.
Do not hold the trip reset button for too long! Just about 3 seconds to go into the service mode. If you hold it close to 10 seconds, it will just skip and go further into the hidden menu.
Saul first thing is that on the little menu you should have been selected the date then hold the button then it will work other wise it will go to hidden menu
I had exactly the same issue with a new sensor. To solve this you have to enter into unlocked mode before resetting Turn on the ignition. Press and hold the reset button until the hidden menu comes up. You should see FGSTNR on the cluster. Scroll to item 19 to unlock. It will display Lock: ON. Locate the VIN number on the door jamb or lower-left corner of the windshield. Add the last 5 digits of your VIN. Below item 19 you will see Code:00. Change Code to the sum of the last 5 digits of your VIN using the trip reset button. Once the hidden menu is unlocked, you will be able to reset impossible values to the factory setting. Turn off the ignition and wait 10 seconds. Try to reset Again
I had some difficulty in solving a problem similar to this one. I managed to solve cheap and easy, with the help of the Youcanic site, all by myself! Try searching "bmw-brake-service-reminder-reset-unsuccessful" at Youcanic for alternate fixes if you suffer from this problem.

Relase the hand brake and dont keep your feet on the brake pedal. It should work.

The reset procedure as detailed in these comments (handbrake off) is correct and applies to both the FRONT and REAR.
After successive failures the hand brake trick did work. First time I tried, the mileage went from green to red, which was strange since I'd had the pads changed a couple of months ago and I didn't expect to see any green in this menu for the fronts!.

did you replace the sensor?? it might be that.

Put your ignition on or off one of the 2
Any of you found solution?

You have to have the car on one push don’t turn it on
Handbrake off (and don't press the brake pedal) is the key!
Turn the car on but not the engine (press Stop/Start key but not pressing the brake), release handbrake, long hold odometer reset button (odometer will show zero, then go back to whatever distance it was - whilst you are still holding the reset button) until it shows the first Condition Based Servicing (CBS) item, press odometer reset button to cycle to the service you want to reset, long press odometer until message "Perform reset?", press odometer reset button until you see "Reset in Progress" (can release the Odometer reset button).

No parking brake on or touching foot brake & still received “reset unsuccessful” any other thoughts?

you dont have to change the sensors. take the two wires (coming of the brake pad) and connect them! left front wheel and right back wheel.
I have to try that. Thank you
Connect them to what?
@@HARLEM430 connect the 2 wires together. On eachother. 😀
@@graderesse8281 they are on opposites of the vehicle,ahh to complete the circuit
Do you have any advice to help me. When I hold the button on the dash I get the main menu and no option to reset the brake at all.
Press the BC button which is on the signal knob until the date is shown and then press the reset button on the dashboard.

good luck

Helps if there’s a narrative
Replace the wear sensor then reset.
I'm having the same problem on my f32. Any updates?
Timmy Somoeun did you replace the sensor when replacing the pads?

Release handbrake and it will work, thanks
you replece the sensor, than Service reset
amer delmo still not working
IF still not working. You disconnect battery for 5 minutes. Then it should work ;)
Please help, I'm doing everything as you did but i keep getting into the hidden menu instead of the service menu, I tried everything. Engine off, ignition on, doors closed, hand brake released, not pressing break pedal. It seems I'm the only one with this problem
Iuhas Dan after you press the ignition button wait for 15 sec before you press the reset button.

change the sensor
Wich two digits

"you will be able to reset impossible values to the factory setting"how sway?
Me 2 .. f15
Didn't work
I have same problem. I changed my rear break pads and and sensors. I can't reset.
UPDATE: I released the electronic park brake and didn't step on the break, worked like a charm!!!
Iv just had my break pad changed and i cant reset this...il try the comment above
Works perfect for me i followed the same steps as you! DON T PUT THE FOOT ON BRAKE OR HAVE ACTIVE HANDBRAKE.
I don't have handbrake on and don't step on pedal...still "unsuccessful". Help!
Dronethat What do you mean by "released the electronic park brake"?
if the brake pads are used more than 50% you can't reset the service
Guys two important tips,
1 - turn off the hand brake
2- do not step on the brake pedal
Then perform the reset procedure as advised in the video
Thank you for your advice. It worked.
There is maybe an error code in the system you ned to check and clear that code then it will reset
Yes it works, when you cant have parking brake
How long should I press the trip button every time I press it goes into the hidden menus.
display needs to be in red, in order for reset to be possible
