Resetting DPF Counter on BMW 5 Diesel

I own a 2010 BMW 5 with a Diesel engine and 210,000 km on the clock. The check engine light is on, and I'm planning to replace the DPF. Do I need to purchase the SMART MECHANIC VERSION to reset the DPF counter after replacement? Any advice would be appreciated!

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!

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.
