Green light means ur car is ready to do smog and pass, the yellow light means the car is readin all the codes to see if the car is ready to go or not, the red means u have a code or a few
I went to smog my car and was told they couldn’t connect to car. So I went and a bought a scanner and it connected and gave me a yellow light. So I drove it till the cat o2 and evap stopped and I got a green light. So I’m hoping when I take it today it connects I have no check engine 0 DTC what my reader told me.
Excellent video. I have a question for you. I have a 2012 Rogue with a MAF problem p01 01 code. The Nissan dealer replaced the MAF. I replaced the air cleaner. I did not replace the PCV valve yet. The dealer I go to tells me they cannot fix the problem any more than they have because they do not have a Master Technician??? I am going to have to travel a ways to get a dealer with a Master Technician. The engine light has gone on twice now. It is supposedly fixed now. If not and the light goes on again and the car seems to run fine I want to turn off the engine light. I purchased a Walmart Hyper Tough HT 100 code reader. It is not much on instructions. It connects with your phone via Blue Tooth to give an explanation of the code. I do not need an explanation and I just want to turn off the engine light. My question is, do I have to use the Blue Tooth feature with the HT 100 or can I just plug it to the plug in the car, turn the ignition to on, read the code, and push the red button to clear the code?? Thank you, Tom Spero
Hi Tom, so sorry for getting back to you late. I had a Blue tooth Code reader once upon a time, but it was so long ago, I forgot how it worked. If you are still having issues with your light coming on, disconnect your car battery for about 5 minutes and then reconnect. That should stop the light to come back on. Keep in mind that if your car has the same issues or if it has another issue, your light may come back on. I hope my suggestion was helpful.
Is this the same as the Walmart ht-100 when I look for user manuals and things like that for the code reader I have I can't find anything but there's plenty of information on the 3011 did they sell them to Walmart
MONITOR STATUS - If the Code Reader’s LCD display shows a zero (indicating there are no DTCs present in the vehicle's computer), but the yellow LED is lit, it indicates a "Monitor Has Not Run" status. This means that some of the Monitors on the vehicle have not yet finished their diagnostic self-testing. This condition is confirmed by one or more blinking monitor icons on the LCD display. A blinking Monitor icon means the Monitor has not yet run and finished its diagnostic self-testing. All Monitor icons that are solid have completed their diagnostic self-testing.
If you turn on ignition without starting car it should work fine. It will even work if you start the vehicle, bur not necessary. However, if your Innova is reading an error each time, you may have a bad connection issue. Your Innova Reader may be bad or, your connector port.
If Error is shown on the Code Reader’s LCD display, it indicates there is a communication problem. This means that the Code Reader is unable to communicate with the vehicle's computer. Do the following: - - Turn the ignition key off, wait 5 seconds and turn the key back on to reset the computer. Make sure your vehicle is OBD2 compliant.
Cleaned throttle body after P2101 code and "check engine" dash light went out. Tested with Innova and receive yellow light and 0 DTC display with all but 2 icons flashing. Pushed "erase" and got green light with 0 DTC. Test again and I'm back to yellow light 0 DTC with icons flashing. What am I doing wrong? PLEASE HELP!
It’s been happening to me also on other things. I don’t think you are doing anything wrong. After clearing my code, it comes back on saying the same issue even though it is fixed. It’s usually because of another problem or the same issue. Flashing yellow usually means pending.
@@MYPROJECTS101. well i see in some videos they are flashing mine are just solid icons any idea about that my friend actually just gave me this scanner but it’s the exact one
Ones u fix replace all the problems then erase the codes , the light will go from red to yellow and if is all good the light will turn green but u have to drive ur car a couple of miles for that
What is the USB input for?

So he is wrong and yellow does not mean there is an issue?

I had a problem like that, I changed the mass air flow sensor, replaced intake filter, swapped out throttle body with a ecu reset and it was gone

Not sure of the unit from Walmart.
Hey man, thanks. Just the video I needed.
What does blinking abbreviations in the top left mean?
Refer to your manual because it does explain them. I had to search for it myself.

What does it mean when I plug the tool in but all it's says is error and nothing else.

Can I pass smog with yellow light
Florida doesn’t need it to pass so, not sure.
sister
How do u delete codes? Fixed the coil but the code still on
red button clears code
It doesnt on my 05 ram 1500
Are the monitor icons the ones that are currently pending or that have passed how do I know if I finished the drive cycle
You will need to refer back to you manual
@@MYPROJECTS101. well i see in some videos they are flashing mine are just solid icons any idea about that my friend actually just gave me this scanner but it’s the exact one
The guy at auto zone told me I can reset the ecu with this.
How?
Ones u fix replace all the problems then erase the codes , the light will go from red to yellow and if is all good the light will turn green but u have to drive ur car a couple of miles for that
Im haveing issues to connect the reader to the app. I saw in the video your bluetooth wasn't on. Wondering if maybe this modle doesnt connect.
No, this does not connect to Bluetooth.
@@MrJwtaylor40 🙏🏽 for takeing your time to respond. Blessings to you!
Mine won’t come on when I plug it in. Does it need to be charged because I have no idea what’s going on
No. This run off your vehicle battery.
Change your cig lighter fuse then it will come on.
Hi, can that innova clear srs code and airbag code?
Good question. I don’t have an answer for that one. You may want to call them directly to get the answer.
Yellow with no codes?
Drive cycle needed
If code erased (by accident) will it return? And about how long would that take?
Yes it will return but not as quickly as it should. Mine took about a week or two.
Do you have to drive the car a bit in order for the codes to return ?
