your BMW brake pad warning light came on
0:02
you've already changed the pads but that
0:04
light just won't go away i'm Tom from
0:07
Car Justify and I've helped tons of
0:09
drivers with this exact issue it's
0:12
actually more common than you'd think
0:13
especially on BMWs good news is you
0:16
don't need to go to the dealership or
0:18
hook up any fancy equipment to reset it
0:20
i'll walk you through it step by step
0:22
right from your driveway
0:25
first thing to understand BMWs use a
0:28
little electronic sensor built into the
0:30
brake pad wear system it sits right on
0:32
the brake pad itself and once it wears
0:35
down enough to trigger the light that
0:36
sensor is toast just changing the pads
0:39
won't reset the light you've got to
0:40
replace the sensor too they're usually
0:43
cheap and if you already did your pads
0:44
but skipped the sensor that's probably
0:46
why the warning's still
0:48
on assuming the sensor's been replaced
0:51
resetting the light is actually pretty
0:53
simple all you need is the key no tools
0:56
sit in the driver's seat foot off the
0:58
brake and press the start button once so
1:01
the dash lights up but the engine stays
1:03
off then hold down the trip reset button
1:06
that's the one on the dash usually near
1:08
the odometer for about 10 seconds you'll
1:10
see a little triangle warning pop up
1:13
then it'll cycle into the service menu
1:15
when you see break let go now press the
1:20
button again briefly until it says reset
1:23
if it does press and hold one more time
1:26
until you see it confirm the reset
1:28
that's it the warning light should clear
1:30
on the next startup if it doesn't make
1:33
sure you replace the sensor on every
1:35
wheel you worked on bmws are picky if
1:38
you change the fronts but the rear
1:39
sensor is worn or damaged the system
1:42
will still throw the
1:43
light also double check that the sensor
1:46
is fully clicked into place sometimes
1:49
people think it's in but the clip hasn't
1:51
fully seated so the car still thinks the
1:54
pad's worn
1:55
down if you've done all that and the
1:58
light still won't go away you might need
1:59
to use an OBD scanner that's onboard
2:01
diagnostics to manually clear the code
2:04
any decent scanner that works with
2:06
European cars can do this or you can
2:08
stop by a local shop and ask them to
2:10
reset it in a couple minutes so quick
2:13
recap replace the sensor not just the
2:16
pad use the trip reset button to access
2:18
the service menu and make sure
2:20
everything's fully connected worst case
2:23
an OBD scanner can finish the
2:25
job hope that clears it up for you if
