It's been a month and they are still on. Taking it to them on Monday.
Does anyone know of a inexpensive handheld computer to hook to our vehicles to diagnose these lights? |
If it is the brake pad lining warning, you don't need a computer. You just need to do the brake job properly. The brake pad thickness sensors are single use. If they come on, the sensors need replacing. Take it back to your mechanic and ask him to finish the job. He will need 1 or 2 BMW OEM sensors, and less time than he needed to change the brake pads to install them. After that, the light goes off automatically.
