    Hi,

    So I took the car in last year to a BMW dealership for a service and was advised they hadn’t been able to reset the vehicle check light but would get it next time. Then recently I took it in again for another service and was told that they would need to run a full diagnostic to determine the fault as it wasn’t re-setting. I asked them to leave it for the time. I tried to do a manual reset but that just keeps saying reset unsuccessful.

    Then today the car went in for new rear pads at the dealership and I note they haven’t reset the break pad light. Again a manual reset hasn’t worked.

    I am going to give them a call on Monday and ask why it wasn’t reset but I suspect I will be told I need a diagnostic again before they determine what they are going to do as it won’t reset.

    I thought I would ask if there was any other option available to me before I make the call?

    I have managed to access the hidden menu and note there is a factory reset option but not sure if this will help or lead to further problems? Thanks for any advice

    Thank you for the welcome and apologies I hadn’t listed the car details; it’s a 520d 2012 model. Thanks.
