and with one operation, you can pay the price. I recomend this wonderful tool. Jorge

Equus 3130 Everything that I had hoped for

Very good piece of equipment, anything less than this level of features would have left me dissapointed as the more I use it the more I appreciate what it has.

Equus 3130 Saved me money,

The product is exactly as advertised, with a feature set vs. cost that is very competitive. If you are handy enough to do routine repairs on your own vehicles, this is what you need. It has already saved me more in shop costs than what I paid for unit - I own 3 vehicles so this has been a great diagnostic tool to have. you friends will be glad to help you use it as well.

Equus 3130 The complete system

This worked great. Pulled the code off the car told me exactly what was wrong and for a fee told me what I needed to replace to fix the problem. No more light and my car is running much better.

Equus 3130 Works Great

I have had the scanner only a month. Have not had a problem yet on my two cars. But I tryed in on my 03 Chev. Trailblazer, & 07 Toyota Camry. And it seemed to work great. It gave me all the information that I was use to getting on my Tech 1 Scanner. I am a retired Chevrolet mechanic. And have a lot of experiance using a Tech 1 Scanner on older Chevrolets. I bought this Scanner because my Tech 1 is out dated now, after I sold my older Chevrolets.

Equus 3130 EXCELLENT OBD II

EXCELLENT OBD II. COULD NOT SMOG MY 2002 CAMRY CAUSE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. MECHANIC WANTED $100 JUST TO DIAGNOSE AND ANOTHER $500 TO REPAIR FAULTY SMOG CONDENSOR IN THE BACK OF THE CAR NEAR THE GAS TANK. APPEARENTLY THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH TOYOTA CAMRYS. RESET ENGINE LIGHT WITH EQUUS 3130 EASILY. SMOGGED WITHOUT DIFFICULTY.

WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND. SHOULD MAKE ONE WITH USB CONNECTOR THOUGH.

Equus 3130 Good product

I used it right away with no issues. Internet upgrade was straightforward and added extended codes for more imports. The live data may not be necessary but is there if needed. I am happy with it as a toy and a tool.

Equus 3130 convenient

I know you can just go to an auto parts store but my vehicle was out of inspection and I didn't want to risk it. This let me know that my O2 sensors were working and that it was now ready to pass inspection. It gives you a heads up before you bring it to the pirate/mechanic.

Equus 3130 Does everything I expected it to do

So far I've used this scan tool to identify and fix an EGR problem on my 1998 Saturn and to check system monitors on my 97 Venture. In both cases it worked as advertised and was very helpful. If you just want to be able to read codes, this is overkill, but if you would like to see live sensor data, this scanner is probably the best value for the money that I know of.

Equus 3130 OBD-II Scanner

Scanner works get, I was able to immediately pin-point the vehicle problem. Product is easy to use, the only draw-back is it is not a USB interface.

Equus 3130 Innova review

It linked up quickly and gave me the codes that AutoZone didn't. Helps out when you would rather avoid a dealer or local garage. Identified the area I need to troubleshoot. I cleared the codes easily to verify there was a problem and sure enough the Check Engine light came back on...the next day. Best Price I could find and it is a quality scanner.

Equus 3130 Perfect tool for beginning auto DIYer

I'm learning how to work on my 98 Volvo s70 so I can afford to keep it and this tool has been indispensable for my trouble shooting for the following reasons:
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 Great price and performs

I bought this product because 2 Autozones couldn't read my error code with their Actron scanner. I hooked it up and it worked perfectly. Changed the O2 sensor and watched the screen for a couple of days until it had passed all tests. My vehicle passed the emissions test. Same with my son's vehicle. The unit is easy to read and understand. Software comes with it but I haven't tried it yet. This unit is a good buy.

Equus 3130 Good, robust tool

The tool is excellent and provides all the functionality to identify and diagnose a problem. It reads all error codes and interprets even manufacturer specific codes, after minimal navigation.

I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs such a tool.

Equus 3130 Great Code Scanner

I would recomend this product to anyone that works on there own vehicle.I used it on my JEEP WRANGLER 2002,and I found the problem in just a few minutes.I am sure it will pay for itself in a short time.

Equus 3130 Equus 3130 Innova Diagnostic Code Scanner with Live, Record and Playback Data Capability for OBDII Vehicles

Outstanding item. I have a 1997 Chevy that I started after not using for a few weeks. It felt like it sputtered when starting (which I felt was a misfire)and the engine light came on! In the past when something simple like this happened on my other vehicles, it would always cost me $60 - $90 to have it cleared.
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 addition to an amateur's toolbox!

This is my first scanner. I've been a backyard mechanic for 20 years. Mainly replacing brake pads, radios & other little stuff. My diesel excursion just went out of warranty and of course the check engine light came on. Plugged this thing in, it came up with code & brief description instantly. It also showed all the parameters when the fault occurred. With the software included I quickly found the full description of the fault. Then I went on the internet and found a fairly easy technical service bulletin to fix the problem. When I'm done I'll easily be able to clear the code. Great addition to my toolbox! The version I received gives an upgrade for ABS check. I'm sure I'll need that too someday.

Equus 3130 great product

The Equus 3130 does everything it says. It's very easy to use and gives you the trouble codes, history and live data. It connects quickly and makes diagnosing trouble codes simple. Well worth the price.

Equus 3130 Money Saver!

The Innova Diagnostic Scanner was money well spent. I had taken my truck to two separate garages to have the "check engine light" diagnosed. The truck has 147,000 miles on it, and both places told me I had to replace the catalytic converter! I was prepared to spend about $800 to replace it but decided to buy the Innova and see what was going on. The Live Data mode allowed me to see that the rear O2 sensor voltage was not fluctuating at all, identifying it as faulty. I was able to buy a new one and install it myself for $125!!! The tool is easy to use, easy to read, and very easy to understand, and I would recommend it for anyone who doesn't like paying high labor prices for repairs. I am not a mechanic, but do have tools and some common sense. It paid for itself with the first use!

Equus 3130 Saved its cost, first time I used it

In Chicago some car dealers charge $99.99 to read your codes before they repair your car (check engine light) I used this and after I found out what the code meant I took the car to someone to fix just the oxygen sensor. Savings, about $150.00. I travel around the country a lot, this device will go a long way toward keeping me from getting ripped off from auto mechanics.

Equus 3130 Best Price

Works perfectly. The computer printout is nice and shows extra info about the system. I did not need a database update but I am glad it is there for the future. I used this on my truck and on two at work and like this device.

Equus 3130 full featured scan tool for the money

I have been looking for months for the right obd2/can scanner with all the features the Eguus 3130 has. All the other companies models go for 500.000 plus. The 3130 has a large screen,live data and the emmission monitor status display. Just to name a few options. I am pleased with this product. I would recamend this product to anyone and even to professionals who need a obd2/can scanner.

Equus 3130 Top 'O the list for value !

The most for the money for this type of OBDII CAN diagnostic tool. VERY well constructed, the information secured equal to testers costing MUCH more. Rivals the "professional" (read VERY expensive) testing equipment. Equus has superb tech support to boot.
