We often see cases where availability is at 255% after reset, there are several possible causes of this:
Faulty or incorrectly fitted wear sensor or a non-genuine wear sensor.
Also this will happen if you try to reset the CBS to 100% on a sensor that has entered the wear region already or if you attempt to reset it before replacing the sensor.
In some cases it is not possible to reset the CBS correctly after it has gone to 255% even if the issue has been rectified, in this case re-coding the DSC control unit may allow you to reset it correctly.
I had an unusual one this week. Both front & rear pads were reset. Each time the Increment counter increased by 1 but the % stayed @255.
After 2 attempts I tried recoding the DSC. No change. Also, the wear sensor codes would not clear from DSC.
The Service counter was 18 for front & 6 for rear. I "corrected" the fronts back to 1st Service & then started correcting the rears to 1st service - (use 80% each time). When the rears were brought back to 1 then I could reset the front & rears as normal. Codes then cleared.
Can't help you past that one. CBS maintenance has been a problem for awhile now even with OE level tools such as the Autologic. Best thing would be to record as much info as possible, vin, ABS module id, etc and submit that info to Launch tech support so they can have engineers look it over and see if its a software problem.
Apparently new BMW backe sensors have some sort of variable resistor efect.
Faulty sensor has 0.8 ohm or more and will not display a warning problem but will block from resetin system (CBS correction) casuing confusion when diagnostic.
New sensors has arround 0.5 ohm resistance or less and will let the CBS been corrcted with no problems.
Just to let you knwo how we did solve the problem.
A good product service is very important. If you have any question on diagnostic,they can solve your problem as soon as possible. I can recommend you a
website which have good service attitude...... www.obd2tool.com/search-BMW.html
Hope your BMW can work very well
