Cheers Mark from a 435d owner in England. Really helpful to show also the pads that needed replacing . I had it in reverse . Front ok back need replacing

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

✅ So glad it helped

[@nixeighty6]

Same processes of my 2014 m235i for resetting front,rear pads and brake fluid. Thanks for sharing

[@Starfam416]

Worked for my 2018 x1, thank you!

[@SayySooFlyy]

Helped a lot. Thanks!

Thanks

Also unplug battery wait 1minute n put it back n reset it it worked for me it happens wen u unplug the sensor with the battery still on

[@efamily2377]

Worked for my 2013 320i. Thank you for posting this!!

Great, worked for the breaks here :-) Even the mechanic could find out :-)

[@jamesbrashier5601]

Just want to say thanks

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

Glad it helped.

[@moky4241]

Excellent vid. Straight to the point. Worked a treat. Thought I'd never get the light off. Much appreciated 👍

[@joukolehtomaki8169]

X5 y/m 2010. Worked fine for the front brake pads, but not for the rear. For some reason, the rear resetting gives "-400" (minus, i.e. "should have been replaced") instead of the expected "50000". Tried ten times. But as I've already learned, sometimes this cannot be reset on the dash but needs to be done with a mechanics scan tool. And sometimes even a top-level scan tool. For some reason, sometimes they just won't reset.

[@petozavodak1748]

I have reseted front brake pads and it put it to-15000... I dont know how to do it

[@derin111]

That’s SO annoying! I wish I had seen this video before I cut and joined the wires of my pad sensors to bypass them! My pads have plenty of meat left on them. The real kicker is…..I didn’t it to both the rear AND front ! 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ Good video! 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Please I have 2011 bmw 528 I replaced the rear pads and sensors and did reset procedure but message appeared reset unsuccessful can you help

[@darrensmith5971]

Worked great ty!

[@Semaj.18272]

Guys if it doesn’t work u don’t need to change the sensor !! Just drive the car two meters and reverse it back and then try again it will work no need to change sensor

[@EminMahmutefendic]

Thanks, it works for me 😉

[@marilakay4902]

For me, its not. Ive driven the car for almost 500km. and the brakepads check sensors on the monitor did not yet appear. What to do?

[@alexandrechoquette5352]

That is really appreciate!!

[@aleksandrzinkevics1253]

Top man

[@jamesbaxter904]

Sometimes you need to drive for around a mile before the reset works. Don't ask why 🤷‍♂️ happens on E60, E70 and E90. Some odd behaviour in the ecu registering the sensor I guess.

[@sebastiantevel898]

Good to know. Thanks.

[@urbexwithtaffy]

Ah okay sound , I can't seem to get mine to go off lmao 😊

[@eloiseiyar865]

Your video is on point👍 but just a quick question. I am trying to reset my brake pads sensor, did everything on the video and the reset came on, but it just says OK and it did not reset. Any advice?

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

Sometimes this cannot be reset on the dash but needs to be done with a mechanics scan tool. Ans even sometimes a top level scan tool. No fume or reason sometimes they just don’t reset.

[@radu197666]

I ve just bought a 06 manual 330i with brand new brakes , rotors - I guess brake pads sensors as well - and new clutch too :) .... the clutch destroy valve broke the clutch disc and separated the dual mass flywheel Car threw a 71 code so brake pads sensor. But the sensors seem to be OK and they were very likely installed new with the brake pads ... so why the heck do I have this light on ? Also for 2006 330i it doesn't show if it's the front sensor or the rear one. So basically .... is it possible to clear this sensor light or I do have to replace both sensors ? It's frustrating

[@jamesmcdonald8598]

What does it mean when the reset doesn't add numbers to it just clears it ?

[@dcoop1422]

hi thanks for the reset info. mine is a 40d 2011 model. mine says 24000 after front brake reset. it says 15000 k after rear brakes. why so low? my pads are half worn at 15000. just curious because iv had to do this a few times for each set of pads (warning said change pads but cleaely they can go for 50000...). any info appreciated.

[@bertrammitchell]

I love you Mark lol thanks bro

[@CrzyMav]

Hi Mark, So I replaced the rear brake pads and sensor on my 2008 BMW 328i. But I’m still not able to reset the brake light. Can it be that the sensor I bought is defective or is not comparable to factory sensor. I also went back and installed the old sensor and it also failed to reset. Any tips or ideas???

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

i did this and my kilemoters for brake changes are - - -, didnt reset to 50.000 and now i have the service red message, help? Also for me i reset from bc after using the thing in the dashboard

[@krisstoddart]

Also happened to me, exactly like this

[@letcanu]

Let me know pleAse, if I reset it, does it show a different error when they're worn out? Thanks

[@brownie6671]

I tried for back break pads, it doesn't work but yes I changed for front

[@Dan.Burcea]

Not working on mine.. the front keeps staying at -9000 and the rear -15000 I just had them replaced! BMW likes to make it so damn difficult for God sake!

[@zerosucksatbmx7378]

so i replaced all my brake pads and rotors and all the sensors and when i try to reset it it wont work and the brake light stays on what should i do

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

Yes this does happen sometimes. What is needed is a better scanner. Then it can be reset.

[@TheLoneRanger1992]

Iv just put new pads on rear a brand new sensor now tried to reset it an it’s showing lines an won’t put new miles on any ideas?

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

Yes they can be finicky. I have had faulty sensors before. To test if it is the sensor then get your old sensor and cut the sensor end off, join the two wires together and plug in this sensor. Then try the reset again. If it works it shows your sensor is faulty. Also sometimes you just cannot reset it from the dash you need to get access to a higher level scan tool that can then reset it. MRT

I changed everything, the best computer format coding was done, it didn't work, I think the ABS brain is broken, it reset when another ABS brain was installed.

[@jozkodragula6895]

Hello, please can you HELP ME? When i click on start button i have on display (where is time/date) yellow exclamation mark - Ignitions switched on and doesnt help when i click check or move to date/time. Its just locked to that yellow exclamation mark. When i start car or i just give keys to car i see clasic display - date/time but when i go to this position(startbutton) i cant do nothing. Please try me help... i tried 15 other tutorial but nothing helps me. I will be thankful for all tips. Thanks

[@eduro1660]

I had an issue with my brake sensor. Instead of km shows dashes. So is not able to reset. Any advice?

In what situation was the problem resolved?

[@eduro1660]

@ just bought a new one. The sensor was broken

The sensors have not changed, the same lines continue

[@elvinasp8576]

One thing to point out. Make sure you close the door, otherwise this method won't work

[@119Agent]

Yup, won’t reset for me. Tried multiple times. Gonna have the shop look at it.

[@standupgags]

MAKE SURE THE PARKING BRAKE IS OFF. - took us ages lol

[@woshiq2]

Mate I owe you a beer ❤

[@robje1960]

Cant get this to work for my back brakes. everytime I try to do the reset, next to milege/KM there is only a dotted line and nothing changes. Any idea how to fix this?

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

Two things that can be Rob. 1/ the sensor is broken and needs to be replaced. 2/ You need someone with a decent scan tool to do a reset for you. Sometimes they need something a bit more serious. Did you watch the video to the end? I talk about replacing the sensor there. MRT

[@robje1960]

@@Marksreviewsandtutorials Going to put in new brake pads later this week and also the sensor cables, dont cost much

[@dejanecaldwell3216]

Hey why won’t mines change

[@dcoop1422]

but WHY does it need a new sensor? (what is wrong with the old sensor that requires the purchase a new sensor?) i ask because mine is not resetting either. As owners we need to know why. With no explanation, the idea it needs a new one is not correct when the old one is still working!

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

Have a look at this video I show the sensor and how it works. You don’t have to replace it if it hasn’t been tripped or worn through.

[@dcoop1422]

@@Marksreviewsandtutorials thanks for reply. The rear on my 2013 x5, It goes to 25,000, not 50,000k. Seems very odd that it is only half life of your reset, but same vehicle.

It was 1900 now it’s -15000
