Innova SD35 SD-Advisor: Battery Reset

Purpose

To guide you on how to perform the Battery Reset function while using the Innova SD35 SD-Advisor Tablet Scan Tool.

Introduction

The car battery is a crucial component of the vehicle's electrical system as it enables the car to start and powers its accessories. With advancements in technology, batteries now have sensors and other components that make them more efficient. Whenever the battery's lifespan ends or it is disconnected during repairs, it is essential to reset the Engine Control Module (ECU) that monitors the battery. This is done to ensure that the new battery's operational parameters are learned and that the Battery Function Light does not turn ON.

With Battery Reset, you can view the procedures for resetting the battery monitor system following battery replacement or disconnection during repairs.
