Innova 3123 gm Obd1 Code Reader

Nice book with lots of clear ENGLISH instructions and extra general info about how the computer works etc., and a full list of codes. Unit itself is professional looking high quality gear, you won't be embarrassed to use it. (Unlike how dirt-cheap some certain orange colored tools from a certain unnamed place can appear) I bought a '93 Lincoln Towncar, and it has an intermittent MIL. It's "EGR insufficient flow" so can be largely ignored. If a couple cans of Seafoam won't cure it in the next couple of weeks, I'll replace the $35 EGR valve and/or clean the carbon out of the manifold passageways. A note about the OBDI which is what these cars have: unlike 'modern' OBDII, the MIL operates in real time. (MIL = Malfunction Indicator Light or "check engine" light) With OBDII, if the MIL is triggered, it stays on for the most part. If it's a one time event, many start/stop cycles might turn it back off, but it usually needs to be cleared. With OBDI, the light may go back out, come back on, go back out as you drive. (It does in my case) The car's computer has a stored code area, which this tester has access to, so, you can see what's triggering the MIL as it happens, AND check the stored codes too. In my case, the codes just refer to the (probably intermittently sticking) EGR valve and nothing else, so the price paid for the code reader is worth the piece of mind at the very least. As for buying the extension cable, (or not) on the Towncar, the OBDI connector is on the driver's side fender, so I can prop the tester up and read it by leaning out the window during run-up testing. It depends on where your diagnostics port is as to whether you need the extension cable. You do need to see the display during real-time testing. If you're chasing an intermittent MIL, you'll need a cable to run under the hood and into a window so you can have the tester inside while you drive and have a friend watch the display.

Se ve bien fabricado y la pantalla es grande, aún no lo uso todavía pero en general lo recomiendo

Habe durch das Gerät einige Euros an Werkstattkosten gespart - Natürlich muss man sich mit der Materie etwas auskennen.

Brilliant for old ford's easy to use and all good 👍

Easy to follow directions. I did not realize it had 3 test modes. In my case my engine wasn't running (key on Engine off ((KEOF)). I am carrying out recommende repair and will use the meter again once I get the engine running. Great product picked up the problem from the computers memory. READ THE MANUAL FIIRST before using to know what the first couple of normal codes are and to be aware electric fans start et ceteras. It was well worth the cost especially when a garage charges more for a single test than the cost of the Code reader. Once find out where to plug it in it's easy to use and re-use. (I can't believe large garages and dealerships can chaerge that much money for such a simple test. It takes less than a minute to hook up and you don't need to stand there and watch it for the entire 5 or 6 minutes)
