A nice improvement over the basic Actrons

This is a great scanner. I work on both my own cars and someone else's and this tool is useful for the price it is in. This is an improvement over Actron's basic scanners. It gives you ABS (brake) and SRS (airbags and seat belts) codes and also allows you to easily view system monitors and emissions readiness status. Saves a lot of time and money as I don't have to switch to testing without being prepared or knowing which monitor I need to test. Not as good as very expensive computers, but good

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Not for everyone

The perfect triple threat! Engine, ABS and SRS!

This is exactly the diagnostic tool I've been waiting for! This is the absolute perfect triple threat! Engine, ABS and SRS with live data. This pinpointed my problem with the front SRS collision sensor on my 2004 Buick Lesabre exactly as I assumed, but I didn't just want to change parts only to find that I was wrong in my assumption. It also correctly diagnosed a bad MAF sensor and allowed me to turn off the check engine light after the repair. If you verify that the ABS and SRS programs work…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • No power

This is a real bummer, it worked fine until the warranty expired and voila.

This is real junk, it worked fine until the warranty expired and voila, the entire top half of the display went black. Not that it's ever been mistreated or abused, I've used it 3 times in a year and a half. I kept it warm and dry and tucked it away safely in a drawer with the batteries removed. There is absolutely no justification for this. Now they want X dollars to fix it, but for X amount I can buy it from another manufacturer. The last Innova product I will ever buy. If like me you want a…

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Easy to use right out of the box

After much online research and numerous YouTube reviews of ODBII scan tools, this was the one for me. Ready to use and works as described and expected. Good thing there are ABS and SRS options. It reset the check engine light and the SRS light and pinpointed the problem. It's not enough if someone from a car dealership or garage tells me what's wrong with my car. I want a second opinion. This is a great way to ensure you understand enough to ask smart questions. It was a purchase inspired by a…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Compatibility

Great tool! for tools and equipment

Whether you're into automotive mechanics or not, this is a great tool to use when the need arises. If you have ever had a check engine light come on and found out that the dealer wants to charge you a hefty fee for analyzing the check engine warning, save your money and use this tool. Once you know what the problem is, you can find a repair for your car at the best price. You may even be able to fix the problem yourself at little to no cost. To be honest, a few apps will save you the cost of an

Works quite well - until now 2019

I bought this OBD scanner almost 3 years ago (3160d) and it does what I need. It's not the full tablet I used at the dealer, but it's not worth a dime compared to a factory device. I use it on my sleds and other family piles to get codes, then go online to get model specific info (forums and youtube) for generic codes. Yes there are some instructions but I had several years of OBD exposure so it wasn't a big deal. The scanner is sufficient for my purposes. I have 1 old beast with OBD 1 but the…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Low repairability

Good scanner, best at diagnostics, tests and measurements

I bought this 3160 to get more features than the 3130 I bought three years ago. I use the scanner several times a year for my cars and family and friends. I received the 3160b as per the specs, not the 3160d as shown in the photo as some reviewers have received. The difference between b and d is in the keyboard. The b has a keyboard like the 3130c. The d's keyboard looks like an improvement - easier to use. The 3130 worked well and paid for itself many times over, but I needed a scanner that…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Modern

Be careful when reading SRS codes.

This is a good scanner but don't buy it if reading SRS and ABS codes is important to you. I have a 2002 Chrysler Town & Country Van that has the SRS light on. I bought this Innova 3160d code reader because it is designed to read ABS and SRS codes for many vehicles, one of which is Chrysler. In fact, I called the Innova technicians and confirmed to them that they had read the codes correctly for a 2002 Chrysler T&C SRS prior to purchase. When I put it in the van, "05 Chrysler SRS Lefthand Zone…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Functionality
