Innova SD35 SD-Advisor: Request Control On-Board System

Purpose

To guide you on how to navigate the Request Control On-Board System using the Innova SD35 SD-Advisor Tablet Scan Tool.

Introduction

The Request Control On-Board System - $08 allows you to perform an EVAP Test or Particulate Filter Regeneration and Inducement System Reinitialization.

EVAP Test - lets you initiate a leak test for the vehicle’s EVAP system.
Particulate Filter Regeneration – this service requests the vehicle to initiate a PF regeneration. The
vehicle manufacturer is responsible for determining the criteria to enable, start, and stop the test, such as engine running, vehicle speed, or engine rpm.
Inducement System Reinitialization - This service requests the vehicle to initiate a reinitialization of the inducement system. The vehicle manufacturer is responsible for determining the criteria to enable, start, and stop the test, such as engine running, vehicle speed, or engine rpm.

Note: The Tablet does not perform the leak test, but signals to the vehicle’s onboard computer to initiate the test. The vehicle manufacturer determines the criteria and method for stopping the test once it has been started. BEFORE using the Request Control On-Board System function, refer to the vehicle’s service manual to determine the procedures necessary to stop the test.

Note: Some vehicle manufacturers do not allow Tablets or other external devices to control vehicle systems. If the Request Control On-Board System is not supported by the vehicle under test, an advisory message will display. Press Back to return to the OBD2 Menu.
