yes it can, take off your positive and negative term. to your battery for a few minutes, then put them bake on, if this doesn't work take them off again then hold the two term. together will reset the light.
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2004 BMW X3. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Even if you reset it by disconnecting the battery, the SES light will return unless you fix the problem which is causing it to come on. I'd suggest a proper diagnostic so you will least know what's the cause.
