Featuring a clear digital display, it reads numeric trouble codes from MCU and EEC-IV systems, stores codes even when unplugged, and simplifies vehicle self-tests—empowering you to troubleshoot with confidence and avoid costly repairs. ## Description The INNOVA Ford Digital Code Reader is a diagnostic tool specially designed to work with the vehicle's test connector to communicate with MCU and EEC-IV computers. It uses electronics designed to retrieve engine and transmission diagnostic trouble codes from the vehicle's computer but does not generate codes. The code reader serves as a key that links to and opens communication with the vehicle's computer to prompt the computer to perform self tests and to receive test results or retrieve codes. Review: 92 Chevy truck OBS fixed in 5 minutes - Worked like a charm. Out nowhere my truck started sputtering and not turning on. Like and old school car i would pump the gas and it would sputter and struggle to stay on. I was thinking fuel injection or fuel pump. Boy was I wrong connected this to the OBD1 port and counted the flashes and referred back to handy dandy book for codes. Turned out to be a $15 temperature sensor and a quick 5 minute swap. The bad sensor was sending incorrect reading so was causing the truck to try and adjust for fuel consumption apparently. Without this I would of wasted money and time on fuel pump and removing the bed of my truck.

However it will not read Transmission, ABS Air Bag or Brake codes **Q: Is this the one that you get the codes from the motor under the hood or is this the one for one part of the motor?** A: This code reader is for getting the codes out of the engine control computer that makes the check engine light come on. You have to use the connection under the hood to hook it up, but you will need to operate the ignition switch during the testing/reading so you should also buy the extension cable so you can watch this unit display the codes from inside the vehicle, sitting behind the wheel. It does NOT directly check anything mechanical inside the engine like oil pressure or ignition timing. It only tells if the computer thinks something is not working like an oxygen sensor or other sensors. It also does not monitor engine temperature or speed or if an injector is working or not. I don't believe it can make the check engine light turn off or reset. **Q: do i need to buy anything else in order to read codes?** A: No, A book comes with the code reader and I also bought the plug in cord with the INNOVA. Be sure to read instructions before turning on the reader or starting the car. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 92 Chevy truck OBS fixed in 5 minutes *by A***F on March 13, 2026* Worked like a charm.
