Advanced and Compact OBD-II Diagnostics
Since the 1980's standardized Onboard Diagnostic systems—first OBD-I and currently OBD-II—mandated for virtually all cars and light trucks have provided automotive technicians with insight into the increasingly complex inner workings of modern passenger vehicles. On the other hand, most consumers are totally unaware of these systems, with the only indication that there may be a problem with their vehicle coming to their attention when "check engine"/malfunction indicator light (MIL) is illuminated on the dashboard. Professional technicians utilize large, expensive diagnostic tools to translate the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) generated by the internal computer networks of in your vehicle in these events. The cost for this is passed on to you by your mechanic whether you understand the reason/mechanism or not, but entry-level do-it-yourselfers (DIY) do not have to be left in the dark.

With Actron's CP9550 OBD-II PocketScan Plus DIYers can instantly and inexpensively gain access to the generic OBD-II codes generated by their vehicles that indicate a vast amount of valuable diagnostic information. These generic codes can be read easily with the patented one-touch read and erase buttons both during normal use parameters of their vehicle and in the event of an MIL event, with their definitions available on-screen. Designed for ease of use, the CP9550 is CAN compliant (an important OBD-II computer protocol), utilizes a standard 16-pin OBD-II connector and features a cable permanently connected to the unit. CAN functionality allows the CP9550 to interact with the different diagnostic subsystems within your vehicle. The standard pin layout and permanent orientation of the cable ensures that you will always be able connect to your vehicle's data link connector (DLC), the OBD-II input port usually located underneath your dashboard, and the unit's rugged construction and small size mean that it can be stored and taken anywhere. In addition to code reading the Actron CP9550 also provides access to more advanced vehicle information. These include the reading and display of "freeze frame" data, which is a snapshot of the overall sensor readings from your vehicle's central computer at the time of a MIL event; access to the VIN (vehicle ID number); and the status of your vehicle's inspection and maintenance (I/M) monitors, whose proper working is pivotal to a vehicle passing state mandated emissions tests.

Standard Features:

  • Compatible with ALL 1996 and newer vehicles (OBD-II & CAN).
  • Automatically reads DTCs when connected for fast diagnostics.
  • Displays OBD-II generic code definitions.
  • Reads, displays and erases DTCs.
  • Reads and displays MIL (malfunction indicator light) status.
  • Reads and displays I/M monitors.
  • Reads and displays pending codes.
  • Reads and displays freeze frame data.
  • Reads and displays VIN (easy way to check vehicle ID number).
  • Easy to read backlit display.
  • Effortlessly powered by car battery through the 16-pin OBD-II connector.

Read trouble codes in a snap. See product details

Designed to empower vehicle owners when it comes to maintenance, the Innova 3030 Diagnostic CarReader is the perfect entry-level tool for quickly revealing the cause of "Check Engine" light warnings on any 1996 and newer car, light truck, or SUV--foreign and domestic. The tool features a unique, patented all-in-one screen and a 3 color red, green and yellow LED display for quick emissions status checks. Meanwhile, the 3030's automatic refresh updates data every 30 seconds when connected to the vehicle, offering an easy way to verify repair completion. The tool communicates with all OBD II protocols, including CAN (Controller Area Network).

All-in-One Screen and One-Push Button Functions

Handheld diagnostic tools should put all the information a user needs right in the palm of your hand, but too often other models bury this data within the device, requiring you to navigate through multiple menus to find what you want. The 3030 is different. Using a combination of its patented all-in-one screen, that allows for viewing 25 pieces of vital information--all at once without having to search through multiple menus, and single-button function access, users are guaranteed quick, efficient access to data they need.

Patented Emission Status LEDs

Over 30 states now use an OBD2 based system to check for emissions readiness, making it more important than ever to be aware of the status of your vehicle and to keep it running in top condition. With this in mind, the Innova 3030 has been designed with the ability to read the exact same emissions information as these state-required tests do to see if you will pass the first time around. Built around a simple color-coded system where Green = Pass, Yellow = Potential Problems and Red = Fail, users are able to quickly diagnose potential emission issues with the 3030. Other tool manufacturers charge over 0 for this feature alone and a separate tool has to be purchased, but the 3030 includes this with the price of purchase.

Additional Diagnostic Resources at Innova.com

The Innova 3030 also comes with access to RepairSolutions through Innova.com. RepairSolutions allows users to take control of vehicle diagnostics by providing you with the complete solution as to why your "Check Engine" light is on. A basic report is provided free with your tool purchase, with a comprehensive analysis available for additional purchase.
