Understanding the Importance of Diagnostic Scan Tools

Modern vehicles are complex machines that rely heavily on electronic systems. When something goes wrong, it can be difficult to determine the cause without the right equipment. This is where diagnostic scan tools come in. They act as a bridge between your car’s computer and you, allowing you to read and interpret the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that are stored in the vehicle’s electronic control units (ECUs).

Why Choose the Innova 3160 for ABS and SRS Systems?

The Innova 3160 stands out for its ability to diagnose issues beyond the basic engine codes. Its coverage extends to critical safety systems like Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), commonly known as the airbag system. These systems are essential for your safety, and any malfunction requires immediate attention.

ABS Diagnostics: Keeping Your Braking System in Check

A malfunctioning ABS can lead to dangerous situations, especially in emergency braking. The Innova 3160 allows you to:

• Read and clear ABS codes, pinpointing the issue like faulty sensors or a malfunctioning pump.
• View live data streams from the ABS system, helping you monitor its performance in real-time.

• Retrieve and erase SRS fault codes, identifying problems such as faulty sensors or wiring issues.
• Monitor the health of the airbag system, ensuring it’s ready to deploy when needed.
