FSS (B) Service

Does any one know exactly (besides oil change) what else is serviced in the FSS Type B service?

Thanks.

My dealer wants $250 for A, and about $400 for B. I bought this car used, so I'm like 'no thanks'. I find a good indie place that will do what I want.

I don't need to pay someone to "ensure that horn is working".
