How to Retract Electronic Brake on BMW 535i F10?

I own a 2015 BMW 5 Series (535i F10) with a gasoline engine and 53,000 km mileage. I'm experiencing an issue while replacing the rear brakes. I used Carly to put the car into service mode, but I couldn't get the app/device to retract the emergency brake. Now, everything shows reset, but I can't fit the caliper because the electronic brakes are not retracted. How can I force the emergency brake to retract and then exit service mode? Additionally, the ABS warning light is on. Any advice would be appreciated!

A 2015 BMW 535i F10 owner is facing an issue with retracting the electronic parking brake while replacing rear brakes. Despite using the Carly app to enter service mode, the electronic brake did not retract, preventing caliper fitting. A suggested solution is to disconnect the battery temporarily to reset the electronic systems, which may help retract the brake. If the ABS warning light remains, a diagnostic scan might be necessary to identify further issues.

Try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes to reset the electronic systems, which might help retract the electronic parking brake. Ensure the car is in a safe position with the wheels chocked before doing this. After reconnecting, check if the caliper can be fitted. If the ABS warning light persists, it might require a diagnostic scan to identify any underlying issues. Let me know how it goes or if you have further questions!
