Equus 3100 Innova CanOBD2 Diagnostic Tool

I'm a woman and found this product very easy to use. Now that I know what the problem is, I have to find an honest mechanic to fix it. The last mechanic I went to charged me $100 to decode my "check engine" light. Then he charged me $50 to turn the light off. Well, now I can do all that myself. Definately worth the $89 dollar price tag.

It does the trick - easy to use and not only gives the OBD2 code but also the name for the code so you have some idea of the problem before you research it.

When I followed the web link through the software for more information, it asked for VIN and License numbers and had some 15+ diagnostic questions. I was expecting a more complete analysis after going through all that, but found it wanted $9.95 for a more comprehensive report that would include possible causes and troubleshooting info, which you can find on other web sites through search engines.

I would have liked the product to include a concise Quick-start guide, and for the users manual to include a list of codes and brief descriptions. I didn't find the documentation to be user-friendly.

If all you want is a tool to read the code, this is the tool for you. To make the results useful, you'll need to research the code on the internet.

I am very satisfied with this diagnostics tool. I originally bought it for my 97 import car and I am very pleased with it. The tool reads the failures recorded in the car's computer and displays them on the LCD screen. The tool also offers more in depth online reports for a fee. I did not find this feature useful becuase is not free for one and secondly because it provided a lot of information that I did not know what to do with it since I am not a mechanic, just an occasional home mechanic. Overall the tool works great.

this is a very good tool for the money, it comes with all the cables and software to connect to your computer, I did not like the way their software used a web based link that repuired you to enter your vin number and plate number for you car and limit it to 3 autos, I made a complaint to customer service for Innovia and they sent me a different version that is computer based.
I would recommend this to anyone, I hope they change the added software.

perfect product, easy to use go to website to find where is your plug
[...] and plug it and instantly you will receive a code if your car has a problem. Don't forget to erase old code and after, ride the car and retest it. The first time I was receiving misfiring code but because I achanged the plug the misfiring disappear not the code.
