Resetting DPF Counter on BMW 5 Diesel
Summary of the thread
A 2010 BMW 5 Diesel owner is experiencing a check engine light issue and plans to replace the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). The core problem is whether a specific tool, the SMART MECHANIC VERSION, is necessary to reset the DPF counter after replacement. A suggested solution is to first try disconnecting the battery to reset the system. If the issue persists, a diagnostic tool may be required to reset the DPF counter.

Hello Andreas_CY, You don't need Smart Mechanic just for the diagnostics and the reset. Smart Mechanic is useful when you want to know about the potential causes for an issue, how to check and repair them yourself. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask us.

Before purchasing any tool, try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes to reset the system. If the light remains on, you might need a diagnostic tool to reset the DPF counter. Let me know how it goes or if you have further questions!
