Front brakes and sensor replaced check control still on
So I came home ripped the wheel off again made sure everything was looking good. I started the car with the wheel off and no brake light warning. Put the freaking wheel back on dropped the car started it and the lights back on? What the hell?? |

It has to be reset with the proper tool. It was probably a used car dealership that didnt replace the sensor and they probably installed a lifetime pads
Also you may have worn rear pads too. And if you install aftermarket sensor the light may not go away. |

Makes you wonder if they checked the rotors at all or if they resurfaced them. I would check the job that they did. Check the rotor thickness and the pads at all four corners.

Maybe the reason why they kept the sensor off? A short somewhere upstream of the sensor or even the connector itself?

Something goes good with with the wheel off because it acts as.it.should and goes bad when the wheel is on. I suspect a connection for brake sensor opens when you hang the wheel on? I would play wheel on and wheel off and look at stress on sensor connection. Should have to tighten lugs? Something electrical-signal changes with the wheel present and you must find that.
I am paying interested attention here because I bought a 07 x5 this month and I see it's service computer says I need to do both front and back brakes in under 5000 miles. Curious it has been saying exactly the same miles for the almost 3000 miles I have driven it. Will be checking pads maybe today. |

Guys! He never said it was a BMW dealer, he just said dealer. This is what he said:

To the OP, you are going to have to check the connector as suggested in post #5 and possible the through the entire path to the module. Look at the connector first. |

I bought the car from a non bmw dealer. I think they replaced the pads before the mileage was up on the sensor. I am going to play around with it again in the morning. I bought the sensors off of eBay. I'll take the wheel off again and see if it goes away again. The rotors look fine also. I inspected the pads and they are new. I will post my findings in the morning. Thanks everyone for your help
