No special diagnostics required to reset, just full ignition on the push and hold the trip reset button and after maybe 10 seconds a reset for the first cbs item due should come up saying reset possible, then either push it again to move on to the next cbs item or press and hold until it says reset in progress then let go no you should get a reset successful message. If you've done all this try it again with the handbrake off, I know it sounds weird but it helps sometimes. Below the steps in an easy read format.

Ignition on
Press and hold trip button - first service due shows up
Release trip button

To reset the current item:
Press and hold - reset possible shows up
Release
press and hold - reset in progress shows up
Release - reset susccessful shows up after a few seconds

To move on to next item say you want to reset pads but brake fluid is before it:
Press and release until shows correct item

Hope that makes sense it does in my head, sorry if you've tried all this but maybe useful to someone
Yes, new sensors were installed with the new pads. Thank you for the instructions, my tech and I have already tried.
I sat in the car this morning, and tried it numerous times. It just says reset unsuccessful, for both the front and rear brake pads.
And my shops scan tool, couldn't reset it either. But this isn't a big deal, as I know when the new rotors and pads were installed, as I keep meticulous maintenance records.
But my OCD is kicking in, and I want it reset.

Maybe, if I disconnect the battery it would reset? But that brings its own little set of issues, reprogramming everything.
