I changed both sets of brake pads on my 2005 Mini cooper S after the disc brake light came on and now I want to reset the light indicator
Low fluid level will keep the light on also the pad wear sensors need to be replace once the pads have worn down to the sensor they are not resetting sensors

this needs to be done with a european capable scan tool,check around to see if someone has this tool, no other way sorry
SOURCE: how do I reset my
you can not reset it. all you have to do is go to the dealer and get a new sensor. once the sensor touches the disk it opens up the circuit, thus you have your brake pad warnning.

One method describes just turning the key to position 2 and giving it about 30 seconds and that it will reset on its own. A manual method is described here:

Did they replace the brake pad wear sensor? If so, try leaving the key in the on postion for 30-45 seconds (dont start the car) This is how we reset the lights on BMW's and the Mini's use a similar system for service lights

the brake pad warning light is controlled by a sensor located in the front and rear brake pads, small contact with 2 wires that plud into a harness, if they are bad I think the replacement cost is around 5-10 dollars for a new one, there will only be one in the front and one in the rear, the service light is turned out by a special tool at the dealer
