Summary: Equus 3130 Code reader
Comment: When I purchased the reader I was a bit skeptical as to whether it was going to help me find why my engine light came on. The unit is easy to hoopk up to the car and use. It gave me the error code and brief description of what the code meant. This allowed me to find my problem (a loose gas cap--Man these cars are sensitive these days!) and clear the code turning off the engine light.
Something to keep in mind with this or any other code reader and that is the code reader doesn't alway tell you exactly the problem with your car but can get you close. Having some knowledge of automotive systems (including the car's shop manual) is definitely helpful.

Summary: Money Saver!
Comment: The Innova Diagnostic Scanner was money well spent. I had taken my truck to two separate garages to have the "check engine light" diagnosed. The truck has 147,000 miles on it, and both places told me I had to replace the catalytic converter! I was prepared to spend about $800 to replace it but decided to buy the Innova and see what was going on. The Live Data mode allowed me to see that the rear O2 sensor voltage was not fluctuating at all, identifying it as faulty. I was able to buy a new one and install it myself for $125!!! The tool is easy to use, easy to read, and very easy to understand, and I would recommend it for anyone who doesn't like paying high labor prices for repairs. I am not a mechanic, but do have tools and some common sense. It paid for itself with the first use!

Summary: Has anyone actually used this item to fix a REAL problem?
Comment: Am having DTC's of P0171 and P0174. And there's a generic list of all the possible problems. But that's NO help at all! I am looking for a scanner that pins down the problem, and simply cuts out the guess work. I would like to hear from those that ACTUALLY had a problem and that this 3130 scanner found it!!!
Thanks

Summary: excellent product
Comment: This scanner is excellent. It works on every car I have plugged it into. It is very easy to use and response time is faster than the big expensive ones. Sometimes though it will show pending codes as stored codes when the check engine light is not on. Every thing else is great just wish it read abs codes a great buy for the money. The exact same scanner in the store is double.

Summary: Doesn't work with a Mac
Comment: I have a Mac, not a PC. This product is not compatible with Macs. It should be fine if you have a PC but for me I'd have to spend another $500 or so to get a PC.
