Here I'm showing how to turn off a Brake Indicator Light from my 2011 MINI Countryman ALL4. This Light came on because my brake pads were getting thin and needed to be replaced.
Thank you Steve. My car is now warnings free from warnings about things I had fixed. Makes this woman happy she was able to fix it herself since the guys that did the repairs didnt know or take the time to find out! Yeah!
Great video! Thanks for the heads up. Worked great on wife’s 2014. Just a little different but once i reset it, turned it off and on again, it worked like a charm. Key to the 2014 is to fully engage the engine and do it while running.
Thanks very informative you explain things like I would explain things lol and then some extra aka that you can always ad another sensor to the passager side and such thanks!
I've replaced the break pads and sensor and my warning light is still saying that it needs changing. Does the warning not automatically turn off when changed or do I have to turn it off myself?
With the 2014 model, its slightly different to get to this RESET option. I spent close to $200 getting a new jack, and an impact wrench to get the tires off (Some Genius over tightened the lugs) and neither the sensors nor pads were even close to being worn out. Sure, great to have new tools but I still consider it a waste of money for this stupid warning light.
Todd Miller ...i agree with you. When my indicator light came on I pulled the wheel off and still had over half the pad thickness left so I just drove it with the light on. I replaced my brakes last weekend and decided it was ti.e to turn off that light
I have a 2012 Mini Cooper countryman. I can get to the reset section. But after it resets. Nothing actually happens. It still shows that I am due for a brake change. Can anyone please help me
@@gailsmirl2049 I'm in the same boat and found this video trying to solve this. I just replaced front and rear pads and rotors. I was able to reset the interval for the front, but not the rear. (Still shows 370 miles to go.) Did you figure this out?
@@lytleric I'm currently having this issue. Had my rear brakes replaced 2 weeks ago and the red rear brake light + brake light just came on. Reset everything else but rear brake sign + brake indicator stay red and displayed. Even after turning on my car several times. Did you figure it out?
@@jilliannicholl5144 Yeah, IIRC I think I figured out that the wear sensor actually is a two-stage. So once it wears just slightly, it triggers the warning for a mileage countdown. Then when it wears the rest of the way, it says to replace now. When I first looked at the sensor, it didn't look worn to me, but once I replaced it with a new one, the warning light went away. Upon closer inspection of the original sensor, it was in fact just slightly worn.
