REQUEST CONTROL ON-BOARD SYSTEM - MODE $08

The Request Control On-Board System - Mode $08 lets you 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 to determine the criteria to enable, start and stop the process, 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 to determine the criteria to enable, start and stop the process, such as engine running, vehicle speed, or engine rpm.

The vehicle manufacturer determines the criteria and method for stopping the test once it has been started. Refer to the vehicle’s service repair manual to determine the procedures necessary to stop the test.
