Reset brake service indicator

Moel · 07-13-2018, 02:45 PM

Hello everyone!

I replaced the pads on my car a few weeks ago & ordered a new sensor which arrived a week ago. Just installed the new sensor but still get the brake replacement required message on the dash.

I’m aware of the secret service menu on the lcd that decorates the bottom half of the instrument cluster (where you add the last 5 digits of your vin) but I have absolutely no idea how to reset the service indicator for the brake pads.

It’s an m235i (2016) does anyone know how to do this?

Ah ha! I’ve done it!!

So if anyone else has the problem the solution is as follows...

Replace sensor

Turn on car without pushing the brake pedal

WAIT FOR SERVICE MESSAGE TO DISAPPEAR from Instrument cluster

Hold odo reset button

Scroll to reset you want

Hold odo to enter reset

Then release and hold it again

Then hold it until the progress bar goes across!

Job jobbed!!
