E89 3.0 2010 rear brake pad reset problem

The reset I believe has to be done with the electronic parking brake off?

You are 100% correct, thanks Peter! now set at 31,000 miles

Bringing this topic of the pad wear sensor reset back in to the light.

i did however decided to disconnect the battery for 15 minutes on a subsequent attempt. Started the engine to make sure all was well and then went for a reset. guess what? yes it reset itself to 43,000 miles. Job done.

Possibly this was the trick that nobody else mentions or it was just a coincidence.

so for what its worth, try the battery disconnect, but don't close the boot like i nearly did lol.

I'm in a similar position - its obviously something that causes people pain... I have changed the pads and sensor (despite it looking perfectly ok), but it wont change the yellow warning on screen. Am I doing anything wrong?

It looks like its about to reset the miles but doesnt change.

I've tried disconnecting the battery too but no joy. Can Carly do this?

Thanks!

Rob

Yes, Carly can do this. So can Pbondar!

Had this same issue recently. I posted it on another thread except mine was the front brakes, same thing though you have release the electronic parking brake before you can reset it.

Hopefully this will save some other people some time... I haven't spotted anyone saying to release the parking brake on the videos I saw (or I conveniently ignored that part! )

I once tried every variation, still ended up at a indy for a £10er.
