Innova 7111: How to Perform Battery Reset function

Purpose:

To guide you on how to perform a battery reset while using the Innova 7111 Tablet.

Introduction

The car battery, an essential part of the electrical system, helps start your car and supply the accessories in the vehicle. Besides improving technology, the battery has a monitor system as sensors and components. So, replacing the battery when reaching its lifespan or disconnecting the battery when repairing, you must reset the ECUs, which monitor the battery, to learn the new operational parameters of the new battery and ensure the engine check light is not turned 'On.'

With Audi/ Volkswagen manufacturers, when replacing the battery with the mAh value, which differs from the vehicle's value, we need to reset/ register to ECUs to recognize and control correctly.

Summary

In the modern vehicle, when replacing a sensor, a component, or even a battery, the control module may turn on your check engine light. Unfortunately, replacing these components can make your vehicle run in the 'Limp home' mode because the new part's operational parameters are not synchronized with the relevant value stored in the control module. To prevent this situation, you need to use the scanner tool to reset or relearn the value of the new part.

And the above procedure is for the 'Battery Reset' function in the 2016 Audi A4 in the Innova 7111. The Innova 7111 also supports a variety of manufacturers.
