The sensors (fronts and back) look good and don't seem damaged or anything. I learned my lessons and will reset before the counter runs down next time, but it got down REALLY fast! Anybody have any idea? |

You need to take out the two wires inside the harness connector and jump them. |

I think I'm too thick to make this happen. I've tried I don't know how many times now, that damn thing still won't reset!
Here is my jump wire at the sensor connector, and I'm 100% sure that the circuit is bridged. I bought one (yep just one I'm a cheap bastard) new sensor and connected it at the front right. Performed the reset procedure on the instrument cluster, and I still end up with the damned dashes! I guess my next option is either to buy the complete set of sensors to replace my perfectly good sensors or let my dealer deal with this whole mess. Any other ideas? |

Hey guys, I just did this procedure of shorting out the rear sensor harness and it appeared to work...for a while.
About 2500 miles later, I am got a yellow warning saying that the rear brakes needed to be serviced in 1000 miles, then 800, then 600. It's counting down faster than the distance I am driving. Time for a new sensor?

^try doing all three corners at the same time. A new sensor is never needed unless it's damaged or worn out.

I need to check to make sure there isn't any wear on the sensor.

Thanks for the posts...I know this is an M3 Forum, but I got here as an F07 owner with the same reset problem...replaced my front brakes including aftermarket sensor - got the "impossible to reset' message and 'visit the Dealer asap' warnings...shorting the sensor wire allowed me to reset the service indicator (to 80,000 kms) and then when reconnecting the new sensor, saw that somehow I had cut the wire close to the caliper... - likely reason for the 'impossible' warning...fixed that up and all seems good. Thanks again.

I had this issue occur again on my '08 E90 M3. I had replaced the front brakes (with new sensors) a little while ago. However, since the rears were trailing by about 2K miles, I held off on those. When I tried to reset the fronts, I got the red car on a lift, dashes on both front and rear intervals. I even tried temporarily connecting a shorted sensor to the rear and rest but to no avail. (I think, at this point, I might have been trying to reset again too soon after the last time.)
Fast forward to just a couple of days ago… I finally got around to replacing the rear brakes (and sensor). With everything in place, I reset the rears and everything fell into place. The fronts showed 41K miles remaining, the rears 45K. All is well |

I could not reset my cabin filter service and brake warning once, due to custom coding in my Kombi ECU. I reset it back to default (SG_Coderein) and I was able to reset both service warnings. Then I recoded the features I wanted back into my Kombi. This was after replacing brake wear sensors too. Tripped me out. All I coded was digital speed display, true speed and the new DSC icon. But that prevented my service resets. This was on my 07 335i coupe.

I attempted to reset my rear brake service before reading this thread and now it's showing front and rear pads need to be replaced which they don't. So in theory I should be able to disconnect and reconnect the pad sensors from their harness and reset the interval again?
Or if that doesn't work jump all three (think there is only one in the rear) all at the same time? Or I can buy 3 new sensors from ECS and replace them? |

Jumping it and plugging back in the old ones tricked it at first but reduced the mileage count down. It reset to 20k miles when I jumped it. When I plugged in the old sensor, it changed the mileage left to 1000 miles. And then it counted down to 0 miles from there. I ended up just replacing the sensors. Sensors are cheap but they can be a pain in the ass to reach and replace i.e. the rear one needs you to remove the fender liner.

I'll unplug and re-plug the fronts as they were fine until I tried resetting the rears now it shows both. |

I bought three new sensors and will replace the fronts while I do my oil change this weekend. The rear I'll attempt when I swap wheels in a week or so. With my Google Fu it seems the passenger side rear has the brake sensor which needs the liner partly removed to get to.
Any issue with just zip tying the sensor out of the way and not inserting it into the pad since I visually check them? |
