Innova SD35 SD-Advisor: OBD Monitor Test
Purpose
To explain how to navigate the OBD Monitor Test function using the Innova SD35 SD-Advisor Tablet Scan Tool.
Introduction
The OBD Monitor Test function retrieves and displays test results for emission-related powertrain components and systems that are not continuously monitored. The tests available are determined by the vehicle’s manufacturer.
Note: The diagnostic tablet does not perform the OBD monitor test but retrieves results from the most recently performed tests from the onboard computer’s memory. You may retrieve OBD monitor test results for only one test at any given time.
Procedure
Step 1 - Connect the Innova SD35 SD-Advisor Tablet Scan Tool to the vehicle and select 'OBD2 Diagnostics.'
- First, connect the Innova SD35 SD-Advisor Tablet Scan Tool to your vehicle via the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) to retrieve the vehicle's information.
- Then, select the 'OBD2 Diagnostics' function.
Step 2 - Access OBD Monitor Test.
- From the OBD2 Menu, select OBD Monitor Test - $06, then press the OK button.
- A “One moment please…” message will display, followed by the Select Test menu screen. (Refer to the vehicle’s service repair manual for information related to non-continuous tests.)
- If OBD Monitor Test data is not presently stored on the vehicle’s computer, an advisory message will be displayed. Press the Back button to return to the OBD2 Menu.
- If the OBD Monitor Test is not supported by the vehicle under test, an advisory message will display. Press the Back button to return to the OBD2 Menu.
Step 3 - Select Desired Test.
- Select the desired test, then press OK to display the test results. The display shows the following information:
- Test ID number
- Module ID number
- Component ID number
- Min or Max test limit (Only one test limit, either Min or Max, is shown for any given test.)
- Test Value and status.
Note: Status is calculated by the diagnostic tablet by comparing the Test Value against the displayed test limit (either Min or Max). Status is shown as either Low, High or OK.
Step 4 - View results for the next tests.
- When you have finished viewing the retrieved test data, press Next to view results for the next test, or press Back to return to the Select Test menu.
- When you have finished viewing test data for all desired tests, press Back from the Select Test menu to return to the OBD2 Menu, or press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
