Can't get rid of my rear brake pad sensor

goto35 · 09-09-2021, 02:15 AM

I even replaced the brakes and sensor (old brakes and sensor was fine) but got new oem and still can't reset it.

It has the. - - - - - on the Dash. Even tried through BimmerCode and it failed.

Anyone have a solution?

Front or rear pad sensor error? Just use your BC stalk to confirm. (2) front (1) rear.

What are you trying to reset? The service indicator, or the light that says BRAKE due to your sensor wearing through?

The service indicator you just need to do on the BC stalk.

As for the brake light, once it goes off sometimes its a pain and sticks around for a few days/starts before it resets on its own.

Unplug the sensor, cut the cable an inch or longer way from the connector, strip and solder the two cables together, put some heat shrink over it, plug connector back in, reset service for brakes and you never have to worry about theses sensors, just inspect brakes visually at every oil change.
The computer needs to see 0 ohms resistance, maybe check that with a multimeter before you plug connector back in.
Bought my car with 57Km had to do pads at 63Km and now at 170Km, no worries with these sensors.
