I have been doing this for over 30 years. Days before diagnostics were different than today. There use to not be any live data. The first BMW to get obd I was the 87 E30 325i had motranic 1.1. I have a old tool for all the 20 pin cars and when I first got live data I was wondering why all cars didn't have it. Well they have more live data than I ever dreamed of.

Hey Dr Sean, I have a BMW 2010 135i E88. The set of ABS set of lights of death come on a year back. The light would be gone when I reset the tpms every time. Now the lights are permanent and I am unable to reset the tpms where the reset only showing the square box without being ticked. Pls kindly advise your thoughts. Thanks.

Dean, a wonderful video! Short, sweet and to the point. Thanks for taking the risk, and thanks for enduring the cold just to shoot this video. 🥶👍🤛

Yea, Spot on Dean👍. Although you may have some competition!!!! lol.... Dial into this old KZread video. I won't place a link, so just type it in. >>>>>>>>.>>>>>> "BMW E39 5 Series Airbag Light Reset".......... WTF!!! unbelievable!!!!!

A very good tip! Thank you for that!

Never heard of this method before but interesting to know. But how about the gearbox iteself? If you reset that one doesn't it need relearning? The whole cumbersome process of driving slow, accelerating, coasting back to initail speed, then manually selecting gears up to the last one and accelerating and coasting back again several times etc etc....?

Hi, thanks for the video. How does it work on BMW 550i F10?

Thank you fo0r this video. I knew about the procedure quite a while ago, b7ut did not know if it would require any coding of the battery or other components. My E38 didn't require coding. Now I feel more confident in dong this before biting the bullet and taking my F01 to the shop (multiple misfires I can't eliminate with plugs and coils).

Nice wee trick, got an airbag light on an e46 318ci, would this work for my issue or do I need to shell out to get the light reset in a scanner

Dean, do you know how to reset the tire pressure on a 2007 BMW 328 xi? It has a heat unit or CCC that is not working, help with that would also be greatly appreciated, and of the videos I have seen on how to reset the tire pressure, do not work on this E90 BMW. Thanks!

I own a 2007 520D E60. Do you have any insight on FC 46D1? There are a couple of other codes the popped up along with 46D1. 3F31, 4203, 4212, & 4222. The codes aside from 46D1 is something I can manage replacing parts for. But 46D1 is pointing at replacing the DDE. Is that the only solution when this code shows up? I need some advise on this.. Appreciate any help.

My brother in law has a 2011 x5 and has the codes 7e8 and 7ec. Do you think this might reset his ecm and check engine light stay off?

Where is the battery relay located on a 2005 bmw 530i

Thank you bro but I watched other videos and they say you have to remove the negative cable first and when you return it should be positive cable first but you did it in different way is this normal

Would the same reset technique be safe and effective for a year 2000 BMW E46 model?

Hell yeah brother I'm glad to see you are back with a vengeance love all your content brother

Hello I have replaced the front plates and the front sensor cable, the cable broke in half and I don't know how, but I soldered it back because I didn't have a new one with me, now when I start the brake light comes on as a warning, just like before I it's broken, it won't reset via the display. I wonder if the brake warning light would go out in this way, as you have now shown. Well, will the hidden functions be canceled -restored, thanks in advance for the answer. it is a bme F11-2015 2.0 D, 191hp :)

works on most manufacturers! all youve done differently is discharge any excess charge quicker?

Hi Dean, I'm watching your videos from Switzerland, I just see skills and knowledge here thanks for that. I wanted to know if it's fine to disconnect the battery cables, despite having the little red and black plastic boxes/plates/stuff (the IBS system) at each battery terminal. How to proceed correctly with those stuff? I let the plugged in? It is maybe wrong or not relevant for a reset, but I though having the IBS disconnected may shorten the lifespan of the battery afterwards (maybe relevant for a battery charging or battery replacement ??). Thanks a lot for your attention. With best regards. K (owner of a BMW 118D, E87 - LCI, from 2009).

I am doing this reset right now. I needed a bolt and washer to connect the positive cable because of the plastic housing around it. Put the washer over the bolt, then insert the bolt and washer through the bottom of the cable terminal, pull it up tight and connect a jumper cable to it to hold it in place. Connect the other end of the jumper cable to the negative cable and you get let it proceed.

Dean you are a God. I just bought a 2005 530i E60 with 186000 kms in Australia. First BMW I have owned, and I'm blown away. Learnt heaps off your videos mate much appreciated. My Air back light is on permanently and am considering taking terminals off the battery and holding for ten seconds. Do I have to wait 15mins or can I put straight back on. Pretty sure I can put straight back on without waiting and turning lights on to drain car like you did in another video. If someone could let me know I would be so appreciative. I have no blue tooth but don't really care. Everything else is awesome.

Love that engine purring, lol...! Having no other issues , after Mom had nieces mechanic change my cheap choice of ATE (?) rotors from FCP, to BMW rotors to fix the vibration. By way of persons such as yourself I thought of doing a brake fluid flush also but we have not had to do that yet. But in the process of me contemplating the brake fluid flush one day I pulled the cap on the steering fluid saw that it was not even on the stick though there was at the bottom reservoir showing fluid. I bought some press tone European power steering fluid and added their to but liberally must have put a 1/4 cup over . We have no digital display of any problem but steering went out and was hard like old-school manual steering for Mom that evening. So a friend suggested the battery reset and I will suck out the excess fluid while it is resting. Hopefully power steering pump is not ill. I watched your video where you suggest Forte... But I must do what I can in the interim before buying any other products. I did order a Euro parts reservoir to change it if need be. Waiting on that arrival...

My E60 suddenly wouldn't start this evening, had to get the AA out to look at it. They diagnosed the battery sensor as faulty. They've temporarily disconnected this and the car starts fine now. Is this much of an aggro to replace? I've noticed that the car doesn't go into sleep mode either as the light on the transmissiom remains illuminated. But unsure if this was related to the battery sensor or if that's a separate issue. It's good to see you back Dean.
