Understanding the Power of the Innova 3130 Lat Diagnostic Scan Tool

The Innova 3130 Lat is an OBD2 scanner, which means it can be used to diagnose problems with any vehicle made after 1996. This handheld device connects to your car’s OBD2 port, usually located under the dashboard on the driver’s side, and reads the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored in your car’s computer. DTCs are codes that indicate a specific problem with your car. For instance, a DTC P0420 indicates a problem with the catalytic converter system.

But the Innova 3130 Lat is much more than just a basic code reader.

This feature is incredibly helpful for diagnosing intermittent problems that might not trigger a DTC.
