New Diagnostic Scan Tool, I was slightly curious as to what they had come up with. Innova have a history of releasing some very good entry level kits, and as an avid do it yourselfer, I wanted to know whether this scanner would be able to help me figure out why the engine light kept on coming on in my 0.

First stop was Amazon I buy everything from them, and as usual, by the next afternoon I had the scanner in my hands and was busy trying to figure out how to open the packaging. That was the first of very few disappointments. The scanner comes in finger severing plastic that is virtually impossible to open unless you have a collection of blades and other cutting tools really hate the packaging. However, immediately I freed the scanner from its packaging, I realized I may be holding one of the best tools I have ever had. To begin with, Innova 3. They say it weighs 8 ounces, so light in fact, that you can picture yourself forgetting that it is in the palm of your hand. I also love the fact that it is not too big that it takes over your palm, but not too small that you may lose it. The build quality is also very impressive, and you can tell just by holding it that you are holding a quality piece of equipment. The screen looked pretty good, and when I finally got the scanner connected to my car I was impressed by the clarity and of the color screen and the way everything is laid out so neatly on it.

Preliminary Tests. Once this was done though, I could finally find out what was causing my check engine light to come on all the time. Turns out I had a minor problem with my catalytic converter, so I deleted the error code using the scanner, fixed that problem and everything was fine. Then I thought about all the features that had been advertised with the product and decided to try some of them out. Turns out the Innova 3. I thought it was. Most of these devices fall short of the manufacturers claims but this one actually operated as advertised.

Warlock Master Of The Arcane Save Game Editor on this page. These run like a charm, though they were slightly inaccurate. For instance, the battery check was inaccurate by 0. However, this was not a huge concern as I have a feeling that should there have been any major problems with my battery and alternator, the scanner would have let me know. Live data feature of Innova 3. Next, I checked out the live data feature that I must admit is very impressive. The 3. 04. 0c was reading information that most amateurs would not even begin to know how to interpret. Details like my fuel trim and engine coolant temperature were being relayed back to me in real time usually things I do not think about until I need to, like when the car is overheating as was my speed and RPM, though again, these were not very accurate. For instance, there was a moment when I was comparing the tachometer read out on my car to that on the 3. I realized that it was about 1. RPM off The car was showing 3. RPM, the scanner was showing 3. RPM. This is a small difference at low revs but at higher revs, towards the 6. RPM mark, an error like that could decimate the engine. The speedometer was no better, and was actually more like 4. MPH off I was doing 5. MPH, but the scanner was displaying 4. MPH. This was slightly disappointing, but then again, after comparing it to a friends Craftsman, I found the same inaccuracies not exact but close so this is either a thing that these scanners havent gotten right yet or my sensors need to be checked. The Graph, Display and Disappointment. One feature that kept me interested for hours was the graph that the Innova 3. The graph is amazing and gives you a wealth of information about what is happening in your engine. It will even give you emissions values and freeze data options. The freeze data feature allows you to capture a particular moment in time so that you may analyze it later on. I had no use for this feature as other than the Check Engine Light my car was fine but I can imagine a whole host of scenarios where I would find the feature very handy. During the emissions tests, there are a couple of LEDs that flash either red, yellow or green depending on the status of the emissions monitor. While using the scanner, I realized that there is a lot more to the screen than first meets the eye. The color display is amazing, and the fact that you are presented with about 2. I moved into my garage is when I really started to fall in love with the screen. My garage has low lighting, and therefore I have to rely heavily on lights and torches to do almost everything. However, with the 3. I didnt have to worry about how I am going to tilt the screen so that I can read it in the light. Amazon. com The scanner was working great, so I decided to try it out on my wifes VW Jetta. As it was manufactured in 2. I thought that the scanner would work wonders on it, especially since the car has had its check engine light and ABS lights on for about a month now. However, once again, the scanner would break my heart, as it did not connect to the car AT ALL. I thought this was weird as the manual and the product description on the Amazon website all state that it will work with all cars made after 1. It took a short visit to the manufacturers website to find out that Innova scanners will not work on VWs due to a communication issue between aftermarket scanners and the vehicles. I thought this rather strange and for a second was angry because of the false advertising, Its supposed to work with any car, light truck minivan, SUV or hybrid manufactured since 1. I thought of the afternoon I had in MY car and my anger abated. It was an inconvenience, but one I could live with. Innova scanners will not work on Volkswagens. While I was referring to the manual, I realized that it is rather unhelpful. Therefore while I was online trying to figure out why my wifes Jetta would not connect, I downloaded the English version of the manual to see if it was any different The manual and the scanner come in three languages, English, French, and Spanish and I was shocked by how much more information it held. If you decide to buy the product, having the hardcopy of the manual will help to an extent, but the downloadable manual is much more helpful. While I was on their site, I also downloaded their PC app so that I could get more information about the codes that I received on the scanner. I found that the app will not only give you additional information on the error codes that you receive, it will also give you estimates of how much everything will cost for repairs. This information though helpful is also somewhat inaccurate, and therefore should not be treated as the final word. Another problem with the app though just a minor one is that it is still not compatible with Windows 1.
