Professional OBDII Scan Tool for all 1996 and newer cars, light trucks, and SUVs. Domestic, Asian and European. This item features an in-tool data base of diagnostic solutions, live data readings, freeze frame data and ABS capabilities.

The Innova 3130c is an enhanced scan tool that is loaded with a database of verified repairs. This repair information easily guides you to the problem. If you are new to diagnostic scanners, this handy tool connects to your vehicle, scans various parts of your car, truck or SUV, and retrieves a list of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and code definitions from your vehicle’s computer. But even if you’re a veteran to scanners and auto repair, you’ll be impressed with the new Fix Assist functionality that Innova has added to the 3130c. This device not only scans your vehicle, it also allows you to view freeze-frame data, live data, and ABS codes to pinpoint your vehicle’s problem. The 3130c CanOBD II scanner is designed to retrieve diagnostic codes in all OBD II vehicles 1996 and newer, including 2010 and later Blue-Tech diesel vehicles and hybrids. Instead of having to recreate a scenario over and over again, you can now playback the information to scrutinize all the data and make a clear diagnosis. Combine this with Internet connectivity and the ability to interface with a PC, and you have a powerful, professional diagnostic scanner in the palm of your hand.

The 3130c Innova ScanTool with FixAssist
easily guides you to the solution of your problem

As government agencies establish more stringent emission laws, vehicles continue to become more sophisticated for maintenance and repairs, forcing professional mechanics, DIYers, and consumers alike to find easy-to-use tools for diagnosing their vehicles. Many tools have already been developed to access these powerful on-board vehicle computers, but the Innova tool is particularly simple to use and surprisingly affordable. It is designed to be used by almost anyone, from the weekend mechanic to the ASE master technician. The scanner features a unique patented all-in-one screen display and LED display for quick OBD I/M emissions checks, so you’ll know if you’re ready to pass those ever-increasingly stringent emissions laws. Innova built the 3130c to display on-screen DTC definitions and user interfaces in English, Spanish, or French, and the trilingual language selection is accessed via a simple menu command. This device also stores diagnostic codes in a handy memory for off-car review and analysis. The 3130c is also equipped with the ability to connect to your PC. With the included cables and software, you can connect the scanner to your computer to generate, print, and save detailed diagnostic reports–and even update the 3130c via the Internet.

The 3130c links to all OBD II protocols including CAN (Controller Area Network). This device is equipped to retrieve the following OBD II diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs): Generic Codes (P0, P2, P3, and U0) and Manufacturer Specific Codes (P1, P3, and U1). In addition, the tool provides live data (view, record, and playback live PCM data streams), bi-directional testing of Evap systems, vehicle ID capture, and O2 sensor results.

All-in-One Screen and One-Push Button Functions

Handheld diagnostic tools should put all the information a user needs right in the palm of your hand. However, many other models bury this data within the device, requiring you to navigate through multiple menus to find what you want. The 3130 is different. Users are guaranteed quick, efficient access to the data they need through a combination of single-button function access and a patented all-in-one backlit screen that allows for viewing 25 pieces of vital information in three languages–English, French or Spanish–all at once without having to search through multiple menus.

Patented Emission Status LEDs

Over 30 States now use an OBD2 based system to check for emissions readiness, making it more important than ever to be aware of the status of your vehicle and to keep it running in top condition. With this in mind, the Innova 3130 has been designed with the ability to read the exact same emissions information as these state-required tests do to see if you will pass the first time around. Built around a simple color-coded system where Green = Pass, Yellow = Potential Problems, and Red = Fail, users are able to quickly diagnose potential emission issues with the 3130c. Other tool manufacturers charge over $100 for this feature alone and a separate tool has to be purchased, but the 3130 includes this with the price of purchase.

Additional Diagnostic Resources at Innova.com

The Innova 3130c also comes with access to RepairSolutions through Innova.com. RepairSolutions allows users to take control of vehicle diagnostics by providing you with the complete solution as to why your “Check Engine” light is on.

Be Aware! Right out of the box this unit will read Codes, that part is straight forward. However when you first plug it in, do not be confused by the warning that your SD Card is not installed correctly, I thought maybe an SD card was included no. Installed one of my own, warning now says not a secure SD card call Tech support, so I did they say SD Card may be used in the future… This was just the beginning of trouble with the Innova web site I got more useful info by searching the web. When plugged…

Great scanner, limited ‘software’ I got this scanner to replace another Actron scanner I had which was damaged. The Actron scanner was 50% more expensive then this Innova scanner.I find this scanner quite a bit better visually… first, the screen is MUCH easier to see. I remember using the Actron in any sort of sunlight required twisting, turning and shielding the unit from the light in order to view the screen. The Innova screen has a backlight and is easily viewable at all times… I had absolutely no trouble…

Michael says:

Perfect DIY tool Of course I was skeptical about purchasing something of this nature on the internet, but after it arrived ( On time!!!) it was a plug and play system. Works great for what I’m using it for. I’m no pro under the hood, so the fix assist allows me to diagnose more accurately than I could have before. I would reccomend this product to anyone that, like me, is tired of the b/s from mechanic shops and want to DIY.
