About this video
In this video, we demonstrate how to reset the Condition Based Service (CBS) reminder for brake fluid condition on a 2017 BMW 740 7-Series using the YOUCANIC Full System Scanner.

Why is it needed?
The CBS system in your BMW tracks the condition of the brake fluid and alerts you when it needs to be replaced.

Failing to reset the reminder can lead to incorrect service alerts and potential brake performance problems.
