Hi Guys, first post but some help would be great.
I have e60 545. I replaced front brake rotors and pads last week, I did not replace the brake sensor as according to the computer, it had 6k last and it was ok when we looked at it in a garage.
So on Thursday, I tried to reset the brake pad indicator for the front, only to produce a negative result. In fact the indicator now shows -9000 miles and the brake light is on in the dash. I read through some threads here and people had similar issue.
So is the resolution to replace the sensor or is there another way to reset this? Am I doing something wrong during the reset? I am holding down the button until the P shows, let go, press and hold again for Reset? to show up and then let go, press and hold until it resets. It resets with -9000 miles.
Any help would be great as this is bugging the hell out of me. Thank you
