In this thread, the poster that didn’t know there was a sensor per wheel, Penguin, is separate from the poster talking about a correction in the reset process. If you are suggesting that the initial post from ZheHbKa (which was stated to be a repost from another thread) should have mentioned the wear sensor replacement (per wheel) in the interval reset process, I don’t see a need. They are two separate things, as the wear sensors trigger a different check control message from the brake service interval items. After having done all the proper physical brake work, including replacing the sensors (4 or 2, depending on what you find), the physical brake warning will clear itself. But the brake service interval counters don’t reset automatically, and that is what the initial post is focusing on. Nothing less, nothing more. Frankly, I find all this talk of the wear sensors distracting. Last edited by forum1; 02-26-2015 at 12:32 PM. |

This doesn't seem to be working for me. The front brake pads are giving the yellow triangle "replace soon" and shows "900" for 900 miles. When I perform the above and hold the button down after it shows "Reset", the "900" becomes "---", but then reverts back to 900!!! Why is this the case?
I tried to see if the steps would work for the rear brake pads and it does. It reset it to something like 35k miles or something like that. Does anyone know why the front brake pads won't reset?

Did you replace the one-time-use wear sensor on the left front wheel?
There is some confusion in the posts above about whether there are four sensors, but most of us have found that our BMWs have two wear sensors, one on the left front and one on the right rear. I can't speak for forum1 and zhehbka, who apparently have one sensor per wheel, as I haven't seen their vehicles, but check the left front first.

Love this forum! Thanks guys, changed my pads and couldn't figure out how to remove the warning. This worked as advertised.

It worked!
The process outlined earlier in this thread worked for my 2010 BMW X5 3.0i. I just had my rear brakes done by an independent shop where they replaced the pads, rotors, and the one (and only) rear sensor. They tried resetting the brake service warning light but wasn't successful. Since I was in a bit of a hurry, I left knowing I would probably find the procedure in this forum. And I did.
Thanks, folks!! |

No, there's 1 ABS sensor per wheel
There's only 2 brake pad wear sensors in the car, front drivers side and rear passenger side. |

Appreciate this thread. With the help here I was able to reset my brake sensor light after replacing discs and pads at all 4 corners.
