Clearing service codes

Recommended Posts

Hi all

I have a 2010 E91 320i. Warning lights on the dash include overdue service, brakes etc. I have done all of this myself and would like some help clearing these messages without taking it to BMW. Recently failed a warrant on the park brake light being on, but looking it the manual I think it's related to the brake pad service warning. I've tried OMD II but it only seems to clear less visible issues. Sorry probably a silly question and no-doubt there's a thread for this somewhere, so even pointing me in the right direction would be much appreciated. Thanks very much.

You should be able to reset it through the iDrive but I do recall it being a fight on my e87, nowhere near as simple as it should have been. IIRC I had to input a new service interval, I think I set them all to 400,000kms (car is at 135,000) to ensure I didn't get annoyed again. The service intervals in the computer are wildly inaccurate anyway, just intended to generate revenue for BMW... the brakes have physical wear sensors anyway.

No I didn't - would doing this reset the message? I just figured it was on a random km interval as Dave has noted above. There's definitely no option to reset this in the iDrive.
