How to Reset the Brake Light on a BMW 528i

1. Locate the fuse panel cover on the driver's side dashboard, near the foot well. Use your fingers to pull down on it from the top.
2. Find a large port on the fuse panel. Plug the connective end of the OBD reset tool into this port.
3. Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the 'on' position. Don't turn on the engine, though. This will power on the OBD reset tool automatically.
4. Wait for the codes to flash on the OBD reset tool screen. Use the arrow keys on the reset tool to find and select 'Delete' on the menu screen. Some OBD reset tools have a 'Delete' button on the face of the tool. Either way, select 'Delete' and wait for the ABS light to blink and then turn off on the instrument panel.
5. Unplug the tool from the port and replace the fuse panel cover. Turn off the vehicle and wait 60 seconds. Turn the engine on and verify the ABS light is off.
