Verified Purchase

I bought the Innova 3030 because it can be updated via the internet as future cars and trouble codes come out. I bought it for, and used it on my lil' 2000 toyota tacoma because the engine light was on. It gave me (after looking them up on-line) trouble codes 1. Air flow sensor heater circut malfunction and 2. Fuel system too lean. (I looked up the codes on engine-light-help.com)
After looking up the code on Mass Air Flow Sensor, I called around the auto parts and the cheapest was $120 at a whse distributor, and $180 at O'Reily's.
The last paragraph regarding the description of the Mass Air Flow Sensor at engine-light-help.com suggested that the sensor may be dirty due to age or contaminated due after market air filters. I happen to have a K&N filter that I clean and recharge with oil every 10k miles. The last paragraph suggested that I remove the sensor and clean with an electrical cleaning spray and low air pressure. I did exactly that. I took off the sensor, sprayed brake parts cleaner on the metal components of the sensor and reinstalled it.
I then used the Innova 3030 to clear the trouble codes and turn off the engine light.
The Innova 3030 had the red light indicated that it would not pass smog.
But after I cleaned the sensor, erased the codes, turned off the engine light and drove around a while, the engine light did not come back on.
I spend $53 bucks for the Innova 3030 and saved between $60 and $120.00 by cleaning the sensor as opposed to having to remove and replace the sensor and paying $120 to $180 for it.
It was an easy fix and I am very pleased with the results.
I highly recommend the Innova 3030 for all you back yard mechanics out there. I bought it after two weeks of shopping around. This was the best unti I could find for the price and it was very, very easy to use and just as easy to look up the trouble codes online. Had to do a little navigating but eventually found a great website.
The only problem I had was that I registered twice for the Innova web site so I could access the basic report on the problem and suggested solutions. When I tried to log on after registering, it did not recognize my e-mail. I registered under both yahoo and google accounts.
The web site indicated to wait for an e-mail to tell me how to log on for the first time. It has been two hours now and i have yet to receive an e-mail from innova and it still won't let me log on. But as I said earlier, I found engine-light-help.com which gave me a wealth of information regarding the trouble codes I got and it was very easy to nagivate.
I highy recommend the Innova 3030 over the 3020 for you back yard mechanics out there. You can't beat the $52.95 price.
Last thing. I was supposed the receive the unit on Monday, but it arrived on Saturday. I tracked in via the USPS website. I was very pleased to have received it two days early.

Verified Purchase

Recently the "Check Engine" light illuminated on the dashboard of my 2002 Volkswagen Jetta TDI, and I used this as an excuse to purchase a code reader. I chose the Equus 3030 based on price, richness of user interface, and sophistication of the company's website (Innova).

I was not looking for a high-end tool, with battery-backed up memory and an internal list of code descriptions. Ideally, I will seldom use this tool, and using the manual (or even better, the company's website) to look up codes works fine for me. So I have to write down the code on a piece of paper, and take that to my computer, rather than the unit remembering it for me. Plus, no batteries to go dead while the tool sits in my toolbox.

I did appreciate the extra indicators on the LCD display, and the Green/Yellow/Red LEDs for quickly checking the status of the system. Other inexpensive code readers have a single line of text displayed, with very little else, and you need to scroll around to get information. With the Equus 3030, icons are displayed to indicate which tests have run, or have not returned good status. Also, a count of codes, pending status, and the status of the check engine light are all displayed along with the code itself.

The CD included with the unit is designed for Windows users. However, it contains the manual in PDF form, plus an instructional video that played just fine on my Mac. I cannot comment on anything else on the CD, but it's certainly not required to use the tool. And as I mentioned, code lookup can easily be done on the Innova website, with the URL printed on the front of the tool. I have the hope that they will keep their database of trouble codes up-to-date, which is often better than software on a CD.

I was able to plug the tool in to my car's OBDII connector, turn on the ignition switch (without starting the engine), press the "link" button, and in seconds had a code displayed. I noted the code, and looked through the user manual. Unfortunately, they only list common codes in the user manual, and didn't have my code. So I typed it in to the search box on their web page and found that I had a fault in my #2 cylinder glowplug. It was a simple test to verify that (check the resistance of each plug), and indeed that was the fault. I have glow plugs on order, and will replace them myself on the weekend.

This device is cheaper than even having a mechanic look at my car these days. Even if I wasn't able to fix the problem myself, I feel more confident going to a mechanic if I have a good idea of what the problem is. The price I spent was well worth it to me, and now I have the tool in case similar issues come up in the future. With today's car electronics, there is no other reasonable way to diagnose trouble.
