Reset brake pad indicator

thiscarlife · 08-08-2018, 08:50 AM

Hello everyone, need some help and wondering if anyone has ever reset their brake pad indicator using the trip button on the dash. (My car has the 6WB digital dash)

I had the rear brake pads and sensor replaced about 4 months ago through a performance shop because I wanted an aftermarket brand. The guy at the shop forgot to reset the brake pad indicator on the car's service system. He told me and I also read that you can reset it using the trip button on the dash following procedures. However, it always tells me "reset unsuccessful" after trying a few times. Wondering if I'm doing something wrong? or does it require to be plugged in to a service system? (I also have bimmercode with a bluetooth obd2 adapter, wondering if I can use this instead? )
