- Will not reset the CBS
maintenance system found on the 745 and many 05+ models.
(see below)
CBS stands for
"Conditions Based Service": CBS has replaced the
SI (oilservice / Inspection) system, becoming standard equipment
on many models in 2005 and later. People often confuse the
Oilservice and Inspection lights with the CBS system, however it
is important to note that they are entirely different. Our tools
will not reset the CBS maintenance lights. If you have a 2005 or
later (or a 745 of any year) it is important to be able to tell
them apart. The most notable difference between the CBS system
and the SI (oilservice and inspection) system is the oil change
reminder (CBS will say "oil") (SI will say
"oilservice"). Other visible differences exist to help
you tell CBS from SI: such as a more detailed listing of the
maintenance that needs to be done: Where the SI system will
simply say "Inspection", the CBS system will list
detailed items on your dash, such as fluids, belts, etc...
