Rear Brake Service Indicator Won't Rest
I just finished changing my rear brake pads. I went to reset the service light, and it shows ---- after I reset but the Brake (dash) and change pads service notification (i-drive) does not clear and it also states -15000 overdue (no way it is that far overdue).
So why can't I reset the service indicator?
BTW, I did not replace the pad wear sensor because it did not trip. The replace rear brakes indicator came on because of mileage. Help!

Uh I noticed the sensor did trip. I have multiple BMW's and my older one let's you skip changing the sensor. I thought it was the same. I'm waiting for my new sensor to arrive and I'm pretty sure that'll fix it.

Same thing happened to me when I changed all my pads. Used the old sensors and it would not reset for anything. talked to a friend of mine that works on bmw for a living and he said either buy new sensors or just cut the two wires at the sensors "front and rear" and wire them together. So I just snipped and spliced them and it reset like normal. I don't need any pad sensors anyway.
