Brake wear yellow warning : cannot reset ?

The front is a bit of a pain to change, rear one is easily accessible.
2013 F25 2.8i : iDrive says about 300 miles before pad replacement, front and rear. Yellow warning still.

I had all the pads replaced and rotors turned yesterday. I was told that sensors were not touched and could be re-used.

Problem : when I go into the service menu to reset either front or rear warning, it let's me go through the process but then a message : "impossible to reset".

Could it be that I really need new sensors even if they appear to not have been worn ? Are they really "2-stage" sensors ?

Thanks !
