Designed to empower vehicle owners when it comes to maintenance, the Innova 3030 Diagnostic CarReader is the perfect entry-level tool for quickly revealing the cause of “Check Engine” light warnings on any 1996 and newer car, light truck, or SUV–foreign and domestic. The tool features a unique, patented all-in-one screen and a 3 color red, green and yellow LED display for quick emissions status checks. Meanwhile, the 3030’s automatic refresh updates data every 30 seconds when connected to the vehicle, offering an easy way to verify repair completion. The tool communicates with all OBD II protocols, including CAN (Controller Area Network).
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, but too often other models bury this data within the device, requiring you to navigate through multiple menus to find what you want. The 3030 is different. Using a combination of its patented all-in-one screen, that allows for viewing 25 pieces of vital information–all at once without having to search through multiple menus, and single-button function access, users are guaranteed quick, efficient access to data they need.
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 3030 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 3030. Other tool manufacturers charge over $100 for this feature alone and a separate tool has to be purchased, but the 3030 includes this with the price of purchase.
Additional Diagnostic Resources at Innova.com
The Innova 3030 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. A basic report is provided free with your tool purchase, with a comprehensive analysis available for additional purchase.

Paid for itself instantly! Recently the “Check Engine” light illuminated on the dashboard of my 2002 Volkswagen Jetta TDI, and I used this as an excuse to purchase a code reader. I chose the Equus 3030 based on price, richness of user interface, and sophistication of the company’s website (Innova).I was not looking for a high-end tool, with battery-backed up memory and an internal list of code descriptions. Ideally, I will seldom use this tool, and using the manual (or even better, the company’s website) to…
Future Proof This is what it is and does what it does. It is a basic bare bones code reader (doesn’t give you any live telemetry data) but has the advantage of being future proof. This is one of the most affordable code readers that works with the older On-Board Diagnostics (OBDII) and the newer Controller-area network (CAN or CAN-bus). CAN has been in use by some car manufacturers since the 1990’s but as of 2008 all new cars sold in the U.S. are required to use CAN. Both protocols use the same type of…
