Question Thanks! How do I have the codes reset?

Thanks! I was thinking about the brake sensor and will check them - left front and rear right, correct?

Once I do that, how do I get the codes reset? Could I just go to Autozone and ask them to that with their OBD II scans (used to do that with my 99 Passat) or do BMW's have special tools that only the dealers have?

Also, I read somewhere that once the sensor goes off, I need to get a new one (the old one pretty much burns). Does that sound right? If I decide to not connect them (I do check my brakes as well), would that trigger any other 'warning lights'?

Thanks again, folks!
