CALIFORNIA PRODUCT WARNINGS

3SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Safety First!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SAFETY FIRST!
It is important that every user utilizing this product read all instructions and warnings included within this manual
to ensure your safety, the safety of others, and to prevent damage to this product & vehicles being diagnosed and
repaired. This manual describes common test procedures used by experienced service technicians. It is inferred
that the user has a good understanding of vehicle systems before using this product.
Many test procedures require precautions to avoid accidents that can result in personal injury, and/or damage to
your vehicle or test equipment. At a minimum, the following safety standards should be followed whenever using this
product, or whenever working on a vehicle.
When an engine is running, it produces carbon monoxide, a toxic and poisonous gas. To
prevent serious injury or death from carbon monoxide poisoning, operate the vehicle ONLY
in a well-ventilated area.
To protect your eyes from propelled objects as well as hot or caustic liquids, always wear
approved safety eye protection.
When an engine is running, many parts (such as the coolant fan, pulleys, fan belt etc.) turn
at high speed. To avoid serious injury, always be aware of moving parts. Keep a safe
distance from these parts as well as other potentially moving objects.
Engine parts become very hot when the engine is running. To prevent severe burns, avoid
contact with hot engine parts.
Before starting an engine for testing or troubleshooting, make sure the parking brake is
engaged. Put the transmission in park (for automatic transmission) or neutral (for manual
transmission). Block the drive wheels with suitable tire blocks.
Connecting or disconnecting test equipment when the ignition is ON can damage test
equipment and the vehicle’s electronic components. Turn the ignition OFF before
connecting the tablet to or disconnecting the tablet from the vehicle’s Data Link
Connector (DLC).
To prevent damage to the on-board computer when taking vehicle electrical measurements,
always use a digital multimeter with at least 10 Megohms of impedance.
Fuel and battery vapors are highly ammable. To prevent an explosion, keep all sparks,
heated items, and open ames away from the battery and fuel vapors. DO NOT SMOKE
NEAR THE VEHICLE DURING TESTING
Don’t wear loose clothing or jewelry when working on an engine. Loose clothing can
become caught in the fan, pulleys, belts, etc. Jewelry is highly conductive and can cause a
severe burn if it makes contact between a power source and ground.

to conrm the location of the problem. Always refer to the vehicle’s service
manual for detailed testing instructions.
NOTE: Check your vehicle thoroughly before performing any test.
WARNING: ALWAYS observe safety precautions whenever working on a vehicle.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic test you wish to perform:
n OBD2 Diagnostics – See page 11
n OEM Diagnostics – See page 26
n Workshop Tools – See page 37
Retrieving and using
Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTCs) for troubleshooting
vehicle operation is only
one part of an overall
diagnostic strategy.

11 OBD2 DIAGNOSTICS
Performing a Scan – OBD2 Diagnostics
OBD2 DIAGNOSTICS
The OBD2 Diagnostics function allows you to perform OBD2 scans, view &
record Live Data, create RepairSolutions2 Reports, and Erase OBD2 DTCs.
PERFORMING A SCAN – OBD2 Diagnostics
1. Follow the AutoLink Connection steps. [See page 9]
2. Tap OBD2 Diagnostics.
n The tablet automatically starts a check of the vehicle’s computer to determine which
communication protocol it is using. When the tablet identies the computer’s communication
protocol, a communication link is established.
NOTE: A PROTOCOL is a set of rules and procedures for regulating data
transmission between computers, and between testing equipment and computers.
As of this writing, ve different types of protocols (ISO 9141, Keyword 2000, J1850
PWM, J1850 VPW and CAN) are in use by vehicle manufacturers.
n If the Scan Tool fails to link to the vehicle’s computer, a “Scan Failed” message shows.
━Ensure the vehicle is OBD2 compliant–check vehicle emission control information (VECI)
label located in the vehicle’s engine compartment.
━Verify the connection at the DLC, and verify the ignition is ON.
━Turn the ignition OFF, wait 5 seconds, then back ON to reset the computer.
━Tap Try Again to try again, or tap Cancel to return to the Home Page.
3. A progress dialog displays while the tablet retrieves any Diagnostic Trouble Codes, Monitor Status and Freeze
Frame Data from the vehicle’s computer memory.
4. When the retrieval process is complete, the OBD2 Diagnostics screen displays with the scan results.
VIEWING SCAN RESULTS – OBD2 Diagnostics
Scan results are shown immediately
following completion of a scan;
and can also be viewed later using
the PREVIOUS VEHICLE function
available through the Home page
[See page 47].
Scan results are shown in a multi-
page display, which includes OBD2
Diagnostics, TSBs and Recalls,
Scheduled Maintenance, and
Predicted Failures.

12
OBD2 DIAGNOSTICS
Viewing Scan Results – OBD2 Diagnostics
Each report begins with a vehicle information bar that includes a Report ID, the vehicle’s description (year/make/
model), the last six digits of the Vehicle Identication Number (VIN) and the odometer reading (ODO) at the time
the scan was performed.
EMISSIONS READINESS – Interpreting Results
Indicates whether the vehicle is ready for an Emissions Test (Smog Check) through a “trafc light” type display.
When viewing the Emission Readiness eld, use the following denitions to identify the vehicle’s Emissions Test
readiness status:
n Green - Indicates all engine systems are operating normally. The vehicle is ready for an
Emissions Test (Smog Check), and there is a good possibility it can be certied.
n Yellow – Indicates one of the following two conditions is present:
━A “Pending” Diagnostic Trouble Code is present. It is possible the vehicle can be tested
for emissions and certied. Many areas (states / countries) allow an Emissions Test to be
performed if the only code present is a “PENDING” code.
━One or more monitors “Have Not Run” their diagnostic testing. The issue of the vehicle
being ready for an Emissions Test will depend on the emissions regulations and laws of
your local area.
━Some areas require that all Monitors indicate a “Has Run” status before an Emissions
Test (Smog Check) can be performed. Other areas only require that some, but not all,
Monitors indicate a “Has Run” status before an Emissions Test can be performed.
n Red - Indicates there is a problem with one or more of the vehicle’s systems, and Diagnostic
Trouble Code(s) (DTCs) are present. The vehicle is not ready for an Emissions Test. The
problem(s) that caused the DTCs to set must be repaired before an Emissions Test can be
performed.
MIL DTC Code
This is the code that has commanded the vehicle’s Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) “on,” and is the code for which
Freeze Frame data stored. This eld includes the DTC number, description, and MIL status (ON or OFF).

13 OBD2 DIAGNOSTICS
Viewing Scan Results – OBD2 Diagnostics
n In OBD2 systems, when an emissions-related engine malfunction occurs that causes a DTC
to set, a record or snapshot of engine conditions at the time that the malfunction occurred is
also saved in the vehicle’s computer memory. The record saved is called Freeze Frame data.
Viewing Freeze Frame Data
Under Freeze Frame, saved engine conditions can include, but are not limited to engine speed, open or closed
loop operation, fuel system commands, coolant temperature, calculated load value, fuel pressure, vehicle speed,
air ow rate, and intake manifold pressure. These values are typically used to further diagnose and pinpoint the
issue.
n Tap the Freeze Frame button to view the captured results.
FIX FOR DTCs – The RepairSolutions2 (RS2) Report
Innova’s RepairSolutions2 reports offer a x, which is cross referenced for accuracy against
a database of millions of veried xes. It is real-world data that has been collected for over
25 years by Innova’s network of ASE Master Technicians across the U.S.
If available, it includes the most likely x(es) for the MIL DTC, including parts required and projected parts cost.
