Reset brake wear warning message

I have an X166 (2014 GL350). The Check Brake Pad warning light came on recently and I changed the worn pads (rears in this case) after accessing the service menu to deal with the electronic parking brake. The pad change went just fine and was surprisingly easy but the Check Brake Pad message is still on even though I've driven about 75 miles since the pad change.

How do I shut off the warning message?

All you have to do is go back and replace the sensor that is normally always changed when the worn pads\sensor are changed!!

The sensor is a wire. When opened by wearing against the disk it lets the system know the pads need replacing. But the sensor must be replaced. it wore out.
