CBS reset in the car

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 BMW 128i, 2009 BMW 128i, and 2008 BMW 128i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The service jobs can be reset in the car at the instrument cluster. Here, the availability of a service job is reset to 100 % (corresponding to new component). The availability is an internal computing value (not visible to the operator).

NOTE: A reset is only possible in the car if there is no Check Control message and if the availability of the service job is below 80 %.
On-board date must be correctly set.
Resetting of a service job must always be carried out after a service measure has been completed.
The resetting procedure is aborted by a timeout or a terminal change.

Switch on ignition.

Press the trip odometer reset button for approx. 10 seconds until the 1st service job appears in the LC display.

The upper display in the speedometer is illuminated by a service symbol (e.g.: an oil can denotes an oil change).

The lower display in the speedometer indicates the time or distance remaining until the next service (e.g.: 25000).

Set desired maintenance scope with the rocker switch on the direction indicator/main-beam switch.
