Is there something wrong with my Maintenance Minder?

I'm approaching 63,000 on my 05 TL. I have 15% oil life, and the reading has B service due soon.

I was really expecting to do the following for this service visit besides just another oil change:

-changing my MT trans fluid (service 3)
-coolant change (service 5)
-change out my brakd fluid (every 3 years)

I've spoke with my service advisor, and stated to wait till the CPU tells me which service needs done. I was really expecting a fluid change this round at 63,000 miles, but it's only a "B" service. I read the maintenance section and owners link, and looks like I'll need my MT trans fluid change for sure even though my CPU does not say B3 for example.

Is the Maint Minder really accurate, or am I just too worried.

So far my car is running excellent. Never experienced any problems, and I know 60k miles is too long without a trans fluid/coolant change. What the hell is wrong with my Maint Minder?

I do not think that the minder goes by time intervals, but just mileage for th other stuff besides oil changes (advanced algorithms) . Thats why the 3 year recommendation should not be showing up. thats my guess at it...
