Batter test wasn’t “a waste of time”. That tells you if you have a good or bad battery so you know if it’s your battery or alternator or starter. It’s actually helpful if you know what you’re doing🙄 you should’ve just got the basic one that’s a third of the price if you don’t know what 75% of that stuff does
Thanks for doing this video. I was using it on my 2007 ram and it was showing me that I had a cylinder one misfire. After I realized the scanner did not have batteries inside so I do not know where that code came from. The engine is running rough so I hope it is something else. Just wanted to say thanks for mentioning about the batteries. Great video for a stupid guy like me. 😂
ABS didn't work because that's a separate plug and module in the car. Enhanced is for doing diagnostics while driving around the block, or doing active troubleshooting while the system is energized or running.
@@joeldokken5690 It's been a while since I made this comment, but I learned that it varies from car to car and year to year. In my Tbird the ABS diag is on a completely different diag plug in the trunk liner. My Silverado and Focus though talk through the CANBUS.
Hi ! Do have any idea about this two codes p0171 and p0174 ??? What is the reason for those two codes?? My car have the same code .. do you have any idea ? Thanks 😊
My car turns on but I can’t give it gas when I press the pedal. All I can see on the scanner is that it’s not working lol how do I enter the codes to fix it?
Have you got help yet elsewhere? It should scan your engine light, then show you codes ex. P1401, or P1001. Then type it into Google to see an explanation on what that code means
You don’t have to have your car running, just in accessory mode (when the lights are on the dash, and you can still play music but the engine is off). If you can’t get into accessory mode, your battery is dead/bad
Who's "letting you choose"? hahaha. Thanks - best vid so far on this Innova scanner! THANK YOU for telling me that I have to "turn on the car" - this is not explained in ANY of the other INnova 3100 reviews or "educational" vids or even the manual. The manual's a joke! I searched "running" and "engine" etc. total b.s. -
@@FurryWrecker911 thanks for reminding me. I just had a "general misfire" code and it started as "cylinder six" and then ended as "cylinder six." I replaced all the spark plugs and cleaned out the spark plug wells - still had "misfire general" code so then I replaced all the ignition coils - problem FIXED!! I think it was cylinder six ignition coil - if I had done a scan with the car on and done live data - but idling the car was just too damaging. I still need the new catalytic converted welded in but my fuel economy is not that bad once the car heats up. I put in Liquid Moly and boron nitride as an extra half quart to the usual 7 quart oil - and the molybdenum got sucked into the spark plug wells as some kind of metal magnetic induction effect - sucked right past the piston rings or else the valves. Pretty wild.
You need to be able read your battery voltage, you need a minimum of 12.5 volts. For most vehicles computer systems work off a 5 volt reference. This is needed for accessing proper information and function of the computer. So if your charging system malfunctions your still able to operate vehicle till battery voltage is depleted. Most vehicles properly working charging systems have an output of 14.5 volts when running. On a starter load test battery voltage must not go below 9.6 volts before you replace the battery. Check all battery connections and body/chassis grounds before testing.
I'm not a mechanic, but let suppose my fuel pump is dead, how do I pull codes to diagnose if it's the pump? Do I just have to get a pressure gauge replace fuel pump then hope the car turns over? Or is there a way to pull a code for fuel pump failure in acc mode.
@@lesleb that doesn’t fix anything and will actually make things far worse in the long run. All that does is basically put a blind fold over it so you don’t see it
You just don't know how to do it. I was the victim also I criticised the machine I even end up calling the innova team and the reply I got was not satisfying.
I appreciate the vid. But I came here to find out the things you "dont know much about". You should remake the vid since this is an instructional review.
“u gunnuh hav du gonnect diss Bart du your (he got that word right) car”. Hey bro, this is A TUTORIAL!! You’re here to UP OUR INTELLIGENCE not decrease it. I was able to handle the BT part. Where does “diss Bart” go?? Yea, I looked in the fuse box. Boooooo 😒
Thanks now I know what all the button do.... Grate job
Will this help identify which airbag is presenting an error to the system?
It won’t give live temps and what not?
does this scanner read oil pressure?

Shut up you id10t. Probably a m0r0n Biden voter
Thank you
I have this but it doesn't work on new truck. Can you update it somehow?
Will this reset my blinker fluid code?
I have the Innova 3100j and I don´t have the "System Tests" option in my scanner... Can I get a free software upgrade online?
It DOES HAVE LIVE DATA - that CEOR option in your Ford OEM is the LIVE data!! thanks

separate? I thought it was all the same port but just talking to a different module on the canbus

Thanks for the info.Are You able to do abs testing with this scan tool?
Same, are you able to abs bleed?
Good review
Hi ! Do have any idea about this two codes p0171 and p0174 ??? What is the reason for those two codes?? My car have the same code .. do you have any idea ? Thanks 😊
Google or search RUclips for it. I’m pretty sure the codes mean the same thing for all vehicles
Lean condition, either too much air or not enough fuel for the ratio. Could be a vacuum leak somewhere.
Check the intake boot/elbow
Mass air flow sensor (MAF)
Does it test suspension issues?

@@Noah24Cline yes I did 👌🏽
I have this scanner and it literally has a live data feed
Need a scanner because my car won't start, now this scanner tells me the scanner only works when car is running, nice.

I have this scanner and never use the battery check option. I use my volt meter to check battery, starter, alternator conditions.
My Innova scanner is in Spanish can anyone help me with the changing of Spanish to English please

These are the answers we need
Got P023F and it said fuel pump control circuit and it recommended changing the fuel pump. Vehicle was in accessory
@@kelvingeorge9502 thank you that’s exactly EFT I’m buying this tool, car stalled out of nowhere and fired will crack but won’t turn over
What if the vehicle doesn’t start?
On the 3000J+ you don't need to. Accessory or run position is all you need.
@@Ecksterphono what about the 3100lat?
Took me 3 minutes to realize youre driving a mustang.. same here lol
Me too. But v6. I have 2 v8 manual. 2004 and 1996!!!! I love my mustang!!!
How do I erase oil change that keeps popping up on my Mercedes Benz s 500

I have this scanner and all I do is reset my check engine light lol every time it pops up
How do you reset it
lol you like taking risks, or your car isnt worth much

So it didn't reset the code?
Yeah these ones do some of them they say on the box you buy I have this one and it does its e+
What's the name of that beat playing! It sounds so underground
This one reset air bags???
Yes, it can read and reset SRS codes.
Will this bleed abs
Lol you have to do that manually
@@awog4203 bro u prove u honestly don't know shit ,but this inova is hanky ,and u act like u invented it or something ,research it dummy
It can read and clear ABS codes. Not sure what you mean by bleed, as in bleeding breaks? If so scanners don't do that.
You should learn about car batteries before making the comments you made.
Did it hurt your feelings pu55y
He is also wrong about it not having live data two of the things he said he does not know much about had to do with live data
Can u read the abs codes with it?
NO
depends on the car and scanner model, they have a compatibility checker online
@@jonathanlazaro2021 Would you be able to check the ABS codes on a 2014 Kia Sorento?
Yes I have a similar one it reads very well
@@cryptoanalysts5793 The 3100 RS model DOES!
Lol we’re all in mustangs huh
en français svp
Slow fuck down
Instructional video my ass. Where the fuck are you supposed to hook that thing up to?
into the OBD2 port under the dash
lolol! If you don't know where that is then you shouldn't own one or attempt any auto repairs and take your car to a mechanic.
