To connect the Innova 140d OBD2&1 Kit Scanner, locate the OBD port in your vehicle, usually under the dashboard. Plug the scanner's OBD connector into the port. Ensure the vehicle is turned off when connecting.
If the scanner does not power on, check the OBD connection and ensure it is secure. Verify the vehicle's battery is charged. If issues persist, try connecting to a different vehicle to rule out scanner faults.
To update the software, connect the scanner to a computer via USB, download the latest software from the Innova website, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update.
Turn on the ignition without starting the engine, connect the scanner, and select 'Read Codes' from the menu. The scanner will display any stored trouble codes, which you can then research or clear as needed.
Each DTC consists of a letter followed by four numbers. The letter indicates the system affected (e.g., P for powertrain). Use the Innova manual or online resources to interpret the specific numeric code.
Yes, after diagnosing and fixing the issue, use the scanner's 'Erase Codes' function to reset the Check Engine Light. Ensure the underlying problem is resolved to prevent recurrence.
Regularly check and clean the OBD connector to prevent dust accumulation. Store the scanner in a protective case when not in use and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures.
Ensure the OBD port and scanner connector are clean and free of debris. Check for damage on the cable and connectors. Restart both the vehicle and the scanner to reset connections.
The Innova 140d is compatible with most OBD2 vehicles (1996 and newer) and some OBD1 vehicles. Check the compatibility list on Innova's website to confirm support for specific models.
