Equus 3100 Innova Diagnostic Code Reader with Memory Backup for OBDII (Post-1996) Vehicles

Check engine light came on wife's car. Took it to a local mechanic and had it diagnosed and repaired for under $200. He did nothing other than clear the code and told the wife to tighten the gas cap on her next fill up. Within a few days the check engine light came back on again, so the money paid to the mechanic was for nothing. Surfing the web sites I found others had problems and spend much money on their mechanics who were incompetent in resolving OBD2 error messages.

At this point I decided to fix it myself and purchased the Innova 3100. I know nothing about error codes but with the help from Innova technical support, the internet newsgroup, various repair websites, the Haynes repair manual and youtube, I was able to fix the problem. I was also able to pinpoint and fix the problem on my son's car as well when his check engine light came on. How cool is this?

Wow, the 3100 is a very nice unit, money this time very well spend. Couldn't do without it now. I must also add the Innova tech was extremely helpful, welling to spend as much time as needed on the phone to resolve any questions I had and going through troubleshooting procedures with me as well. BTW, you get a real knowledgeable English-speaking technician from Innova, not someone from India with a heavy English accent.

The best out there for the money by far !! Works excellent, shows code discription of problem and turns off check engine light.

THE PRODUCT WORKS FINE, HOWEVER, I NEEDED A TOOL THAT WOULD READ MORE THAN JUST EMMISSION ISSUES, (ELECTRICAL IRREGULARITIES, AIR CONDITIONING AND MODULE ERRORS, ETC.

SO THIS ORDER WAS NOT EXACTLY WHAT I WAS EXPECTING, NOR DID THE ADVERTISMENT INDICATE THE PRODUCTS SHORT COMINGS.

BUYER BEWARE.

THANKS.

This product does what it says. Easy to use also. It helped isolate fuel injector problems easily, not to mention erasing those engine lights.

This code reader works great and gave me the information I needed. I hooked it up and it gave me the code. From there you can link it to your computer and get a printout. The only drawback is you have to pay extra to get more information from the website regarding what the possible causes of the trouble codes could be and how to fix the problem.
