Service function: Reset CBS Condition Based Service
A maintenance scope can be reset with the "Reset CBS Condition Based Service" service function. Even when availability is over 80 %.
The benefit of reset via the BMW diagnosis system is that the on-board date is corrected automatically.
The individual maintenance scopes are displayed in the BMW diagnosis system with service counter and availability.
- The service counter is reset by one counter on resetting. All service counters are set to "1" on new vehicles.
The service counters are used in the Service Acceptance/Reception Module (SAM) on a scope-specific basis for controlling additional work.
- Availability is set to 100 % on resetting. Availability in % is the wear value of the maintenance scope.
The greater the availability, the longer it is to the next maintenance scope.
0 % means that the maintenance measure must be carried out.
