How to reset the AdBlue warning light on a BMW 5 Series F11

Model: BMW Serie 5 F11, F10 - Years 2010-2017
Part: AdBlue warning light

In this video we can see how to reset the AdBlue warning light on a BMW 5 Series F11: the car is showing the AdBlue error and unfortunately the only way to solve the problem is through the EOBD socket on the SCR control unit responsible for that system. However, first we need to remove the 15 Amp fuse located in the trunk and then a similar one located in the fuse box inside the glove compartment (F21). We will then need to reprogram the control unit, clearing any errors that may be present. This is an operation that can also be done using a standard OBD11 reader, after which the car will be able to restart.
