The Equus 3130 Innova ScanTool CanOBD II Diagnostic Code Scanner is an enhanced scan tool that is loaded with many professional features. If you are new to diagnostic scanners, this handy tool connects to your vehicle, scans various parts of your car, truck or SUV, and retrieves a list of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and code definitions from your vehicle's computer. But even if you're a veteran to scanners and auto repair, you'll be impressed with the new functionality that Equus has added to the 3130. This device not only scans your vehicle, it also allows you to freeze-frame live timing and pinpoint your vehicle's problem. Instead of having to recreate a scenario over and over again, you can now playback the timing to scrutinize all the data and make a clear diagnosis. Combine this with Internet connectivity and the ability to interface with a PC, and you have a powerful, professional diagnostic scanner in the palm of your hand.
The 3130 Innova ScanTool CanOBD II easily scans and retrieves DTCs. View larger.
As government agencies establish more stringent emission laws, vehicles continue to become more sophisticated for maintenance and repairs, forcing professional mechanics, DIYers, and consumers alike to find easy-to-use tools for diagnosing their vehicles.
Many tools have already been developed to access these powerful on-board vehicle computers, but the Equus tool is particularly simple to use and surprisingly affordable. It is designed to be used by almost anyone, from the weekend mechanic to the ASE master technician. The 3130 CanOBD II/2 scanner is designed to retrieve diagnostic codes in all OBD II (1996 and newer). The scanner features a unique patented all-in- one screen display and LED display for quick OBD I/M emissions check, so you'll know if you're ready to pass those ever-increasingly stringent laws. Equus built the 3120 to display on-screen DTC definitions and user interfaces in English, Spanish, or French, and the trilingual language selection is accessed via a simple menu command. This device also stores diagnostic codes in a handy memory for off-car review and analysis. The 3120 is also equipped with the ability to connect to your PC. With the included cables and software you can connect the scanner to your computer to generate, print, and save detailed diagnostic reports, and even update the 3130 via the Internet.
The 3130 links to all OBD II protocols including CAN (Controller Area Network). The tool captures and displays freeze frame data that will help you pinpoint and troubleshoot any problem. This device is equipped to retrieve the following OBD II diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs): Generic Codes (P0, P2, P3, and U0) and Manufacturer Specific Codes (P1, P3, and U1). In addition, the tool provides live data (view, record, and playback live PCM data streams), bi-directional testing, vehicle ID capture, and O2 sensor results.

Great Scanner!:
Great gift for my dad! :) He loves it and he has been playing with it since Christmas!
Works Great:
I have had the scanner only a month. Have not had a problem yet on my two cars. But I tryed in on my 03 Chev. Trailblazer, & 07 Toyota Camry. And it seemed to work great. It gave me all the information that I was use to getting on my Tech 1 Scanner. I am a retired Chevrolet mechanic. And have a lot of experiance using a Tech 1 Scanner on older Chevrolets. I bought this Scanner because my Tech 1 is out dated now, after I sold my older Chevrolets.
Equus 3130 Code reader:
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... more info
Money Saver!:
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... more info
