Bmw 1994 325ic sensor circle with 3 dots on each side on the dash

A ROUND YELLOW CIRCLE LIGHT WITH LINES ON EACH SIDE MEANS BRAKE PROBLEMS FRONT BRAKES OR REAR BRAKES HAS A FAULT. NOW IF CIRCLE HAS LINES INSIDE YOUR POWER STEERING FLUID LOW NEED CHECKING.THE WARNING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF WHEN PROBLEM FIX.

If it looks like the symbol in the image below, it is your brake pad wear sensor.

Your front or rear brake pads are probably worn out (and are below the minimum thickness) and need to be replaced.

Or the wear sensor could be faulty and need replacement also.

nvm i think i found em; if its a circle with 3 little sections on each side, it means have the brake pads checked

Brake pads
●
Have the brake pads checked
immediately.
For your own safety: use only
brake pads that BMW has
released for your particular vehicle
model. BMW cannot evaluate nonapproved
brake pads to determine if
they are suitable for use, and therefore
cannot ensure the operating safety of
the vehicle if they are installed.<

its the breaks if it is a circle with 3 dashes on each side it is the break sensor it indicares you are running out of breakes

sounds like your brake lining light. It means your brakes have worn below specification. The light to me kinda looks like a yellow circle with two dashes on one side and two on the other and they follow the curvature of the circle. On an x3 you can get a pretty good view of the brake pads looking through the wheel.

it may need to just be reset. turn the key to "run" but do not start and it should turn off within 30 seconds. if it doesn't it sounds like whoever replaced your brakes did't know what they were doing. There is a wear sensor connected to the front brakes and the rear brakes. if the sensor wasn't replaced during the brake job ( wear sensors must be replaced every repair because they wear out) it has to be replaced

Need to replace your brake pads.

did you also replace the brake sensor wire with the brake job? its similar to #12 in this pic for the front axle(http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=EU33&mospid=47722&btnr=34_0757&hg=34&fg=05 if it was done at a BMW dealer, then replacing the sensor wire is part of the job. if replaced at an independent shop, then they might not know. each axle will have this sensor wire that wears just like the pads. replace this sensor wire and all should be fine.

good luck

It means that your brakes are worn. REMEBER: If you are going to replace them yourself remeber to also buy the brake sensor witch will be located on the on the right or the left hand side Im not sure . . . .It is just a wire connected to a sensor that clip's on the outer brake pad.
