Can you reset the differential pressure sensor? I purchased the iCarsoft Car Diagnostic Tool CR Pro+, but it fails to reset the values, retaining the previous ones. Additionally, the peculiar aspect is that the "new" sensor displays an unusual value of -18.xx, but the old sensor registered only -0.7x, even with the ignition activated.

Currently acquiring proficiency in utilising a Launch tool. Appears to be superior to my initial assessment. Initiate X431 CRP919X BT Elite Bi-Directional. I purchased it under the impression that it was an authentic UK market version. It appears that it is not, however it still looks capable of accessing the car modules and supplying extensive data.

I possess one of them, but have not utilised it in a demanding situation yet.

Thank you. I possess an XTOOL A30M, but it lacks the required option. I was unable to locate it anywhere

Ultimately, the outcome will largely hinge on the specific elements you intend to reset and the financial resources you are prepared to allocate. I state this as I have lately acquired a diagnostic tool from Foxwell, after conducting considerable research. All prominent brands are manufactured in China, although they differ in the systems they permit access to or allow for reset. Upon reviewing your prior post, it appears you may already possess a diagnostic tool. Most websites provide a "compatibility" checker; however, it is essential to review the fine print to see whether it will "actuate"—that is, send instructions to the malfunctioning unit—or merely reset or eliminate the code. - often promoted as "bi-directional" I ultimately chose a Foxwell GT60, as I required a device to reset the DPF. I saved much by ordering it through AliExpress without encountering any problems. Nevertheless, it remains positioned beneath the tree; I cannot ascertain its functionality in reality. (an update will be posted!) - I initially intended to select the NT650 Elite, which is also indicated as compatible with your Carens.

Apologies for the redundant topic; which diagnostic tool do you recommend for Kia vehicles? I require it to reset the readings for the differential pressure sensor, among others. Thank you.

I suspect that the parking brake was engaged during the reset. Did they replace both the front and rear brake pads?

The sensors were either worn and not replaced, defective, or you attempted to reset them with the parking brake engaged. Five series equipped with an electronic parking brake must have be disengaged for a reset.

The handbrake must be engaged to reset; nevertheless, it appears that the sensor was not replaced.

The pads are quite new; perhaps the real sensors were never replaced.Prior to the illumination of the warning light, the display indicated that brake pad service was required after a specified number of miles. As soon as the mileage reached zero, the warning lights activated.

Examine the sensor wire; if it is shorted, sever it and connect the ends leading into the plug box within the inner guard, then reset the light.

My comprehension is that if the brake pads are replaced prior to the sensor's detection (with the circuit remaining intact), the sensor remains functional until the pads deteriorate, resulting in a circuit interruption and subsequently a "low brake pad warning." Therefore, if the pads were replaced before the sensor issued a warning, it should not activate a few months later unless the garage did not actually replace the pads. It is not uncommon for unscrupulous garages to engage in such deceptive practices.

I appreciate your response. I have attempted to reset it as you described, but it consistently indicates that the reset was unsuccessful. The vehicle likely perceives that the brake pads require replacement. It is peculiar that the warning light has activated nearly two months after the garage allegedly failed to repair the sensors.

Did the garage also repair the wear sensors, considering that the brake pads may have been replaced previously? Once the car or sensors indicate a need for replacement, or if the sensors have beyond their lifespan, they must be replaced to eliminate the warning, I believe. The procedure to reset the brake service light for a BMW 520d (F10/F11 or G30 chassis) can be executed via the BC button on the turn signal stalk or the odometer reset button on the instrument cluster. Essential Prerequisites: Installation of new brake pads and a new brake wear sensor is required for the reset to function properly. The sensor is a disposable device that interrupts the circuit when utilised. The electronic parking brake must be disengaged. Your foot must be removed from the brake pedal. Reset Protocol (utilising the BC stalk button) Activate the ignition without initiating the engine by pressing the Start/Stop button once for F-chassis or three times for G-chassis, without applying pressure on the brake pedal. Shut all doors and await the clearance of any preliminary warning messages from the instrument cluster. Utilise the BC button located at the end of the turn signal stalk to go around the instrument cluster display until the date/time or trip odometer is visible. Depress and maintain pressure on the BC button until the service warning indicators manifest. Press the BC button briefly and frequently to navigate among the many service options (front brakes, rear brakes, brake fluid, etc.) until the preferred item is highlighted. After the desired service is shown, press and hold the BC button one more until "Reset?" is displayed. Depress the button, then press and hold it again until the progress meter completes and "Reset Successful" or "Resetting" appears. Deactivate the ignition. The warning light should now be extinguished.

I purchased a 520d a few months ago from a dealership that replaced the brake pads and discs prior to my acquisition of the vehicle. I brought the automobile to BMW for servicing, and it indicated a requirement for brake pad maintenance; however, I informed them that it had already been completed. They completed the remainder of the service. A few days ago, the brake pad warning light illuminated, indicating that the brake pads require replacement, but I am aware that they do not. BMW will not reset it as they did not install the brake pads. Do you have any suggestions for resolving this issue so it no longer appears on my dashboard? I attempted to reset it, but it is unfeasible as the car believes it requires completion. Thank you very much

For a preliminary assessment, I purchased an inexpensive device from eBay. It functioned effectively with the use of diesel. It is a 12-volt heater/smoke generating unit, and I utilised my Ryobi tyre inflator to apply pressure.

I am unfamiliar with the allen key technique. Is this rotating back and forth to loosen it? I would apply Plusgas over several days of thermal cycles, then thereafter attempt to release it while the engine is heated.

Indeed, a smoke test is a prudent strategy.

Indeed, I neglected to add that the EGR was my initial focus; nevertheless, I was unable to detach it despite employing many methods, including the allen key technique. I aimed to avoid damage, as I require the vehicle for daily work; hence, I opted to remove the plastic cover and clean what was accessible. However, that mechanism was operating without restriction.

Preliminary assessment? Although the code does not indicate it, inspecting the EGR for unobstructed movement is not challenging. Annual cleaning and soaking in Plusgas is prudent maintenance for these. Regrettably, nothing apparent arises, since the turbo actuator is undergoing self-testing satisfactorily.

High temperatures appear to exacerbate the issue, particularly while accelerating in an excessively low gear, prior to the gearbox functioning optimally.

2009 W639 2.2 D OM 646 Hello everyone, my van has intermittently entered limp mode for the past year, but it has recently been occurring daily. Is it possible that the summer heat is a contributing factor? Powering off and then on resets the device. A scan revealed the error "2526-004 StoredY77/1 (Boost pressure regulator) - Signal line is interrupted." I have thus far inspected for air leaks, although it is challenging to detect them in that area. Verified that the actuator cycles upon van ignition, cleaned the connector, serviced the MAF, installed a new air filter, and replaced the crank sensor. I apprehend disassembling the entire assembly and the wiring loom, which appears to be in pristine condition. I do not observe any areas where it may abrade or fracture the insulation. Are there additional simple aspects I might verify initially?
