Equus 3130 Perfect tool for beginning auto DIYer
1) Defines the code for you, this means you aren't always looking at a book or website to figure out what's up.
2) Backlit. If you find yourself out occasionally at night checking vacuum lines and other minor things, the fact you can read the screen is helpful.
3) Reads "pending" codes that have yet to register as a check engine light. This means you see a problem before it becomes urgent. The live data will help some on this issue as well, but I'm still figuring out where my vehicle should be. I have been impressed with the amount of live data I get on the machine given that I have a European car.
All in all, if you're fixing your own car you have enough stress on you without going back and forth from autozone to get codes read or having to look up new and mysterious codes. This is a great tool for a beginnine DIYer like me.

Equus 3130 Equus 3130 Innova Diagnostic Code Scanner with Live, Record and Playback Data Capability for OBDII Vehicles
This time I searched the internet and found this. It arrived yesterday. I spent 30 minutes skimming the owners manual. Then when I connected it to the car, it took less than 10 seconds to diagnose and I cleared the code within a minute. I paid $135 and have already saved a $90 shop fee.
This item is very user freindly and is updateable via the internet to upgrade the "ABS" feature.
I'm completely satisfied!

Equus 3130 great code scanner
im not sure how well it can read into the CAN systems to pull codes from various modules (such as transfer case control modules and things of that nature), but thats only because i havnt had a chance to try it on one with a known issue yet. as for the PCM, it's got a great library of codes, and the live data is something you typically dont see on tools like this. the live data info available for viewing varies but for most vehicles it includes the basics like throttle position, engine load, short term and long term fuel trim, mass air flow readings, and even oxygen sensor readings. this does not show extremely detailed pcm data, but for the weekend mechanic or anyone who needs a code puller or secondary scan tool, this is it. if youre looking for a hand held, you found the perfect match right here.

Equus 3130 Great OBD-II scanner/diag tool.
I ordered the 3130 yesterday and recieved it today. Let me tell you, this is a fantastic tool, especially considering the price. The back light feature is great for my old eyes. The "live data" display and record is wonderful for trouble shooting.
The included software is more than adequate. Remember, you are buying hardware. This is not meant to run your garage on. I say you can't go wrong with this gear.

Equus 3130 Scanner
The Evap. test and O2 tests don't seem to run or are not supported on these vehicles.
But overall it was a good product that seems to be built well!
I wish it would do ABS testing and possibly Body Control module tests but it would probably raise the price of the unit.

Equus 3130 Code reader
Something to keep in mind with this or any other code reader and that is the code reader doesn't alway tell you exactly the problem with your car but can get you close. Having some knowledge of automotive systems (including the car's shop manual) is definitely helpful.
Friday, September 25, 2009
Equus 3130 Works fine
This scan-tool is simple to use,it doesn't support diagnoses of codes but displays all needed codes to repair a problem.You will need a service manual to properly diagnose fault codes.
I like it as it gives important data to properly see componants at their actual values and when you make needed repairs you can see the repaired/replaced componant read proper values.

Equus 3130 Very cool
Some of the more advanced features are not so intuitive and I'm one of those dumb customers who thinks it should be. I think the best-designed tools include an owner's manual for reference sake, but the tool should have an easy enough interface that I don't need to pull out a book with my dirty hands.
I think they tried to save the cost of a couple of buttons by giving some of them double or tripple duty and thus making it so you need a manual to know how to get where. I still like my new tool a lot, though. It does everything it says it'll do, but don't lose the manual!
Monday, September 21, 2009
Equus 3130 Good Code Scanner- Gotta Read the Manual!
The use of the buttons/navigation with the scanner isn't the most intuitive, so you must read the manual to ensure you take advantage of the scanner's abilities.
I would buy it again, but I will admit i'm disappointed that the product information from Equus/Innova doesn't specifically tell you that GM, Ford/Mazda and Chrysler reap the most benefits from the tool. I also own a BMW, so i'm disappointed I can't use the tool for all codes/diagnostics associated with the BMW.
Sunday, September 20, 2009
Equus 3130 Pleased
only disappointment is that live data is not sent directly sent to my laptop but rather a recording from the scanner replayed on my laptop through the software.
Saturday, September 19, 2009
Equus 3130 Seems to do the job well.
However, I really liked the ability to capture live data. Though I didn't have any issues with my car, I can see how a lot of the live data info can help with diagnosing a potential problem with the car. You can see the numbers updating (such as engine rpm or short term fuel trim, etc.) which seems like once every second.
Overall, I can see this being a useful tool and gets the main job done. However, due to the minor annoyances with the updateability and the reporting features, I would have to deduct one star.

Equus 3130 Reviews

The Equus 3130 Innova ScanTool CanOBD II Diagnostic Code Scanner is an enhanced scan tool that is loaded with many professional features. If you are new to diagnostic scanners, this handy tool connects to your vehicle, scans various parts of your car, truck or SUV, and retrieves a list of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and code definitions from your vehicle's computer. But even if you're a veteran to scanners and auto repair, you'll be impressed with the new functionality that Equus has added to the 3130. This device not only scans your vehicle, it also allows you to freeze-frame live timing and pinpoint your vehicle's problem. Instead of having to recreate a scenario over and over again, you can now playback the timing to scrutinize all the data and make a clear diagnosis. Combine this with Internet connectivity and the ability to interface with a PC, and you have a powerful, professional diagnostic scanner in the palm of your hand.
![]() The 3130 Innova ScanTool CanOBD II easily scans and retrieves DTCs. View larger. |
Many tools have already been developed to access these powerful on-board vehicle computers, but the Equus tool is particularly simple to use and surprisingly affordable. It is designed to be used by almost anyone, from the weekend mechanic to the ASE master technician. The 3130 CanOBD II/2 scanner is designed to retrieve diagnostic codes in all OBD II (1996 and newer). The scanner features a unique patented all-in-one screen display and LED display for quick OBD I/M emissions check, so you'll know if you're ready to pass those ever-increasingly stringent laws. Equus built the 3120 to display on-screen DTC definitions and user interfaces in English, Spanish, or French, and the trilingual language selection is accessed via a simple menu command. This device also stores diagnostic codes in a handy memory for off-car review and analysis. The 3120 is also equipped with the ability to connect to your PC. With the included cables and software you can connect the scanner to your computer to generate, print, and save detailed diagnostic reports, and even update the 3130 via the Internet.
The 3130 links to all OBD II protocols including CAN (Controller Area Network). The tool captures and displays freeze frame data that will help you pinpoint and troubleshoot any problem. This device is equipped to retrieve the following OBD II diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs): Generic Codes (P0, P2, P3, and U0) and Manufacturer Specific Codes (P1, P3, and U1). In addition, the tool provides live data (view, record, and playback live PCM data streams), bi-directional testing, vehicle ID capture, and O2 sensor results.
