Brake Pad Wear Notification

[Efthreeoh]

I've searched on the topic and reviewed the BMW TIS and can't find a citation to validate, but I want to make sure. Also, there is no reset procedure in the software I can find either.

The brake pad wear system on the E85/86 is just the simple BMW single-stage wear-sensor type? Just trying to verify. My rears were quite low, but I was waiting for the pad wear light to come on. It finally did week before last and yesterday I replaced the pads, rotors, and sensor, but the notification light remains on. The fronts look near spent, so I think it's just a coincidence, and the pad notification is for the front axle as well.

Just wanted to verify.

TIA

Try turning key to position 2. Press and hold S/R until reset text appears at bottom of odom screen.

Thanks for responding, but my question is, once a new pad sensor is installed, does the system reset automatically, or is there a reset procedure to reset the pad notification icon. The old version of BMW's pad notification system (i.e. non-CBS) was simple, where a new pad wear sensor closes the open circuit and the icon goes off. I'm trying to verify that.
