Help with brake/AbS warning light



So I and getting the red service indicator (car on lift) and a constant "brake" indicator. When I try and go into the service menu (Odor button trick) it just flashes ABS and kicks me out

I've searched online but can't determine a specific failure. My pads are good, my fluid is good, and my hill-hold is good

It's an 06' 330i manual trans

Thank you

no one has a clue on this forum? Red "car on lift" illumined with "brake" lettering illuminated?? I think it's BS these codes don't show up on a standard OBD2 scanner!

I must have missed it, but I have a damaged brake pad sensor wire.it was not secured properly at the bleeder cap and was rubbing against the rim. I straight wired it like I have other models, and the code won't clear, so I ordered a new sensor for $7 on eBay.

Thanks

Hey kit523, sorry I missed that, I originally opened it on my phone and could only see half of the image.

so I just replaced the damaged pad sensor wire. I still have the "lift" warning and the brake lite, and when I attempt the reset trick (hold the odo button) I just get an "ABS" light after several seconds. Any idea before I go to a local shop to attempt a reset? Thanks!
