The Innova 3100j offers more than just basic code reading. Here are some of its advanced features:

- Freeze Frame Data: When a fault occurs, the Innova 3100j captures a snapshot of the engine’s parameters at that specific moment. This “freeze frame” data can be crucial in diagnosing intermittent issues.
