BMW Brake Service Reset

[@russd3801]

Please accept the thanks from the community for making a clear, correct, and concise video for doing a reset. It is very annoying and also very common, to find a 20 second procedure buried in 10 minutes of fluff.

[@xavi_fernandes]

Thanks so much! My mechanic couldn't reset it with his device. I wanted to avoid BMW service center because they charge for everything and it's a headache to book time just for a simple reset. Appreciate this!

[@laro1002]

It worked on a bmw f31 2017 MY. Thanks!

So I can change the brake pads front and rear then reset as per your tutorial.does this effect the idrive service history information?

[@MrScholarly]

Extremely helpful. Thank you.

[@TheWrenchLab]

That's why I do this! 👍

[@1985slipstream]

Mine was unsuccesful is this becaause it was already past the time and millage for the pads? (it jsut wasnt reset when they were put in new ) as theres loads of meat on them.

[@Punkpsychobilly]

Jeez I just spent an hour trying to reset this with my fancy ass scan tool. Never in a million years would I have thought BMW would make something so simple that your average person could reset.

[@TheWrenchLab]

That's me, avg af!👍

[@Punkpsychobilly]

Haha I didn’t mean it like I think that you’re an idiot, I definitely don’t, more that in my 26 years as a tech, BMW has never been the most DIY friendly. Thanks for the vid!

[@TheWrenchLab]

😂😂😂 I didn't take it badly, im just saying I'm average. Showing people that even of you're average, you can do this too!😁😁

Thank you!!!

I still don't get it on my 2019 x3... Can you go slowly with step by step.. Thanks

[@adrians4319]

What are your thoughts on the 'VEHICLE CHECK' reminder. The BMW dealer wants to charge for this.

[@TheWrenchLab]

If you do your own maintenance and are confident in your abilities, just reset the reminder. I would have to look up what they do for those inspections... I think it's really a matter of how old some of your fluids are. i.e. coolant, brake and trans fluid. How much brake pad material do you have. Things like that.

[@adrians4319]

@@TheWrenchLab Thanks for the info. My car has only 20k miles, but I might have an indy shop take a look. 👍

[@derekaning8971]

The rear brake pads is not showing only the fluid and engine oil (I've recently replaced the brake pads and sensor)

[@23antrock]

would u happen to know why my m235i shows chassis stabilization light, abs, brake system Drive moderately and brake light all on the dash? maybe you've heard of this issue.so im just asking

[@TheWrenchLab]

Hmmm. Is the car stock? I know with some mods or even when things are coded, that can occur.

[@23antrock]

The car engine wise is stock and I coded the car to have things like video in motion and stuff like that but nothing like engine wise and I've had the coding stuff for a while

[@TheWrenchLab]

@@23antrock did it start after coding? Or just randomly?

[@23antrock]

@@TheWrenchLab Randomly

[@TheWrenchLab]

@@23antrock Does the error still pop up? Did the car go into limp mode at all?

[@Theocurrie]

Thanks bro 😎

[@HaiNguyen-ki7pd]

The voice is clear but the video too dark can’t see the hand where and what are you doing.❤

[@tbl8560]

What if brake fluid is good but brake fluid service message is displayed? Can I reset the service message to eliminate it from popping up?

[@TheWrenchLab]

Yes, sure can! There's a separate "service" from the front and rear pads that you're able to reset.

[@CarlosAlvarez-cg6ph]

@@TheWrenchLab on my brake service when i try to reset it, it says, rest unsuccessful. Do you know why??

[@elitecompany51]

What if the values until next service just go blank and give you an overdue notice?

[@TheWrenchLab]

Unfortunately, your car hates you. Jk lol. After reset it still said overdue?

[@elitecompany51]

@@TheWrenchLab okay so I replaced all my brake pads and reset the service light but now it just shows a bunch of ----- instead of a number of miles and gives me a warning light

[@TheWrenchLab]

@@elitecompany51 Did you replace the pad wear sensor as well? If not, that's the culprit.

[@elitecompany51]

@@TheWrenchLab I will have to order them all then I guess

[@elitecompany51]

@@TheWrenchLab I've never had to replace them before though. Despite 2 previous brake jobs... 🤔 odd that it does this on this time around ...

[@e1l2o3h4s5s6a7]

what if it says " reset unsuccessful"?

[@TheWrenchLab]

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

[@e1l2o3h4s5s6a7]

@@TheWrenchLab i tried, but still unsuccessful

[@biancavilla3757]

For front brake pads if is says “ unsuccessful” and the brake pads are new , do you think it’s the brake pad wear sensor?

[@DanHoney233]

Did u find a fix ? Currently having the same issue

[@emilypernat2780]

Also having the same issue. Help!
