The Innova 3150 CanOBD2 + ABS Diagnostic Code Scanner from Equus is an affordable and easy-to-use tool for any do-it-yourselfer or amateur mechanic who needs a quick and easy way to determine why the "Check Engine" light is illuminated on 1996 and newer cars, light trucks, mini-vans and foreign and domestic SUVs.

In addition to providing crucial OBD2 code information, the 3150 also features anti-lock Brake System (ABS) diagnostic functionality to troubleshoot problems with ABS solenoids, ABS pump motors, brake switches, control modules, speed sensors and more on most 1996 and newer GM, Ford and Chrysler vehicles. If your car has either a check engine or ABS light on, you don't have to reach into your toolbox for two tools; the 3150 will do both jobs. Combine this with the unit's Internet connectivity for software updates and the ability to interface with your PC, and you have a powerful, professional diagnostic ABS + diagnostic tool right in the palm of your hand.

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 3150 in different. Using a combination of its patented all-in-one screen, that allows for viewing 25 pieces of vital information in three languages--English, French or Spanish--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 3150 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 3150. Other tool manufacturers charge over $100 for this feature alone and a separate tool has to be purchased, but the 3150 includes this with the price of purchase.

Additional Diagnostic Resources at Canobd2.com
The Equus Innova 3150 also comes with access to RepairSolutions through canobd2.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 scanner purchase, with a comprehensive analysis available for additional purchase.

With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.

I cant trust the tool. (updated)
Long story short. Got my new 3150 at a great price. Hooked it to GM vehicle and it came back with C0040. Scantool says Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Subfault. I end up replacing not one, but both hubs. ($280) Light still on, scan still says C0040. I search the web and find out that C0040 means Right Front Sensor. $140 more dollars. I call Innova tech line to complain. Guys says the code C0040 is for Rear Wheel Blah, Blah. No, its not, but the tool and the website they have says it is. He had no idea when the site would be updated, or a release to update the 3150. Its been over a week and if you search Innova's site for C0040 it still says Rear! Update: The website has been updated. There is no online updates for the 3150, but I can live with it, I'll just doublecheck the codes against other sites.

Traded up from Equus 3100 to 3150
Got my 3100 a while back, and it pretty much paid for itself every time I used it. I was able to repair some inexpensive sensors, and not be at the mercy of the auto dealer or independent mechanics (who seem to be as expensive as the dealers anymore). When I started having ABS problems, the 3100 could not read ABS codes. So I sold it to my brother and upgraded to the 3150. He has only foreign cars, so there is no inexpensive code reader (as far as I have been able to figure out) that could read his ABS.

I'm also really happy with the 3150. Reads and clears ABS codes on many GM, Ford, and Chrysler cars. I have a 2002 Chevy and a 1997 Ford, and it will work on both. Be sure to check the list at the manufacturer's web site for your specific vehicle before purchasing. 3150 has already paid for itself also. Dealer wants $99 just to read a code. And if you know what the problem is up front, you can fix yourself, take to the most cost effective repair place, or at least negotiate...

I bought the 3150 to diagnose an emmissions problem on a 97 camry and it worked great for that, however when I went to check on the abs system it stated that it wasn`t supported, reading the information on the box after the fact I realized that the abs diagnostics support very few vehicles and none of mine, 2001 dodge ram, 2009 hyundai sonota, 2001 honda civic.So do your homework before you purchase the 3150 for the abs feature.
