Diagnosis for Condition Based Service

The vehicle is coded at the end of line so that the red symbol for the pre-delivery check is shown in the Next Service indicator (same symbol as vehicle check).

The symbol is a reminder to the Service staff that the pre-delivery check has not yet been carried out on this vehicle.

Do not confuse this function with the "Vehicle check" for maintenance work. Do not run a reset with the KOMBI.

When executing the pre-delivery check with the "Transport mode/Pre-delivery check" service function: The symbol will be suppressed automatically after the service function has been executed.

In the BMW diagnostic system 4 maintenance service functions are available:

• Transport mode/pre-delivery check
• CBS correction, tester data
• Reset CBS
• CBS vehicle data correction

Service Function: Transport Mode/Pre-delivery check 

In order to ensure that a vehicle can be handed over to the customer in proper condition, the "Transport mode/pre-delivery check" service function must be performed.

The following positions are checked during the pre-delivery check:

• Deactivation of the transport mode.
• To determine the vehicle-specific vehicle performance per week an adaptation process is activated. Transport and immobilization periods before vehicle delivery to customer therefore have no effect on the customer-specific performance per week.

  The weekly mileage is used to control escalation from "green" to "yellow" (approx. 4 weeks before "red") for maintenance scopes with remaining distances. The vehicle performance over the last 6 weeks which is taken into account.

• Inputting or deleting the legally specified intervals for the legally stipulated vehicle inspection and emission test.
• Inputting the target dates of the legally stipulated vehicle inspection and emission test (automatically or manually).

  Automatically: by date entry of the first registration and the interval

  Manual: by directly entering the target date

• Entry of local, service-related phone numbers, depending on vehicle equipment specification (e.g. BMW Group Mobile Service, BMW hotline, customer's local dealer).

  The country-specific phone numbers are displayed in the BMW diagnostic system as a note. When asked for input information the phone numbers can simply be read off.

• Information on initialization of the Teleservices depends on the vehicle equipment.
• Checking and where necessary adjusting the on-board date for the vehicle.
• Entry of the date of the first registration of the vehicle.
• Delete the fault memory.

Service Function: CBS correction, tester data 

With the "Pre-delivery check" service function, data will automatically be stored in the vehicle. The standardized data can be changed with the "CBS correction, tester data" service function.

The following standardized data can be modified:

• Phone numbers:
  • BMW Group Mobile Service
  • BMW hotline
  • Local dealer

  The country-specific phone numbers are noted in the BMW diagnostic system (to be read off when required for input). The phone numbers must be input with the international dialing code.

• Legally stipulated vehicle inspection (country-specific):
  • Coding or deletion
  • Interval for calculating the target date

  The target date is calculated on the basis of the date of the first registration.

• Legally stipulated emission test (country-specific):
  • Coding or deletion
  • Interval for calculating the target date

The target date is calculated on the basis of the date of the first registration.

Service Function: Reset CBS Condition Based Service 

The maintenance work can be reset with the "Reset CBS Condition Based Service" service function. Even when availability is above 80 % reset via the BMW diagnostic system has the advantage that the on-board date is corrected automatically.

The individual maintenance measures are displayed in the BMW diagnostic system with service counter and availability.

• The service counter is increased by one count on resetting. In new vehicles all service counters are set to "1".

  The service counters are used in the Service Acceptance Module (SAM) to control the additional work for specific maintenance operations.

• On resetting the availability is set at 100%. The percentage availability is the wear value for the maintenance operation.

  The greater the availability, the further away the next service.

  0% means that the maintenance measure must be carried out.

Service Function: CBS vehicle data correction 

The service function "CBS vehicle data correction" is available if resetting has been carried out unintentionally  . Thus the availability of a maintenance measure can be corrected to a value which corresponds more closely to the actual situation.

For this correction a date or km-reading is entered. This data is processed internally to give a percentage availability. Here, the BMW diagnostic system will only accept a value which is lower than the current status in the control unit. In addition, the service counter of the scope is automatically reduced by one counter during correction.

The entries in the Service Manual are used to determine the actual availability. The most recent maintenance measure (km-reading and date) allows the reconstruction of the availability for the specific scope that corresponds more closely to the actual situation. This does not include the correction of the brake pad availability. The remaining brake pad thickness must be measured and entered (in millimeters).
