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.

It works
Pattern Name: Code Reader Style: For Ford
Worked perfectly on my 89 f250. Easy to fallow instructions and codes explained. But if you want to do it by yourself you will need the extension cord they sell for it.

Well worth the money!
Pattern Name: Code Reader Style: For Ford
Nice book with lots of clear ENGLISH instructions and extra general info about how the computer works etc., and a full list of codes. Unit itself is professional looking high quality gear, you won't be embarrassed to use it. (Unlike how dirt-cheap some certain orange colored tools from a certain unnamed place can appear) I bought a '93 Lincoln Towncar, and it has an intermittent MIL. It's "EGR insufficient flow" so can be largely ignored. If a couple cans of Seafoam won't cure it in the next couple of weeks, I'll replace the $35 EGR valve and/or clean the carbon out of the manifold passageways. A note about the OBDI which is what these cars have: unlike 'modern' OBDII, the MIL operates in real time. (MIL = Malfunction Indicator Light or "check engine" light) With OBDII, if the MIL is triggered, it stays on for the most part. If it's a one time event, many start/stop cycles might turn it back off, but it usually needs to be cleared. With OBDI, the light may go back out, come back on, go back out as you drive. (It does in my case) The car's computer has a stored code area, which this tester has access to, so, you can see what's triggering the MIL as it happens, AND check the stored codes too. In my case, the codes just refer to the (probably intermittently sticking) EGR valve and nothing else, so the price paid for the code reader is worth the piece of mind at the very least. As for buying the extension cable, (or not) on the Towncar, the OBDI connector is on the driver's side fender, so I can prop the tester up and read it by leaning out the window during run-up testing. It depends on where your diagnostics port is as to whether you need the extension cable. You do need to see the display during real-time testing. If you're chasing an intermittent MIL, you'll need a cable to run under the hood and into a window so you can have the tester inside while you drive and have a friend watch the display. ... show more

Seriously? You Have to Fix the Pins Right Out Of The Box?
Pattern Name: Code Reader Style: For Ford
I like the Reader and I'm keeping it and despite the cost the extension cable is good to have so you can do the engine running tests from the inside of the cab. But it's really true about the tester pins, they aren't worth a ,,,,,,, well,,, they aren't secured very well to the Reader body. Right out of the box, plugging the cable in the first time, the reader wasn't connecting with the truck computer. Having read several reviews about the crappy pin construction, it's the first thing I checked and it was true. Just the action of pushing the extension cable on to the Reader's connection pins caused a couple of them to recess down into the Reader's body. So having read several reviews about the poor pin construction I followed their advise and crazy glued the base of each pin to the Reader body. Problem solved. All the tests completed AOK. However, it's another reason to buy the expensive extension cord, once you get the cord and reader connected and it makes good contact with your vehicle computer, just bypass the poor pin construction issue and just leave the cord connected to the Reader all the time, doing your vehicle connections via the ext. cable. The cord's pins are much better constructed. I like the Reader and am keeping it. This review would have been a 5 but the pin issue is a big negative. Make sure when you order your Reader and ext. cable, be sure to add on a tube of Crazy Glue. It'll all be good after that. ... show more

If you put the pdf of the instructions into an ai and let it give you instructions/ explain codes it'll same you a ton of time.

Little bit odd to use when you’re not used to it, but every other OBD reader for my truck is way more expensive and this gets the job done! Helped me find a fault with the pip sensor so it’s time to rebuild the distributor I guess and fingers crossed my miss fire clears up after that

It works; BUT
Pattern Name: Code Reader Style: For Ford
First, let me give credit where credit is due. The product works, and it's easy to use! I was able to retrieve the codes. Some ports are inside the vehicle, my port was in the engine bay. I was able to do everything needed by myself to successfully complete the test. BUT I have 2 Negatives associated with this product. First, When I plugged the reader into the port in the engine bay nothing happened. when I unplugged it I found that 2 of the 4 Prongs had pushed into the reader. Pure Junk. So I opened it up to see what broke. To my surprize, the wires and connections were still intact. I pushed them back into placed and reglued the reader back together. I plugged it back into the port but the prongs pushed back into the reader again. The tiny little blades where the wires connect to the plastic, I guess are too small and don't hold the connectors in place. I used alligator clips on the ends of the prongs to pull the codes. Second, the booklet fell apart the moment I opened it up to read the directions and again when I was reading the code glossary. The book is poorly made as well. I see You can download the instructions from the web site but why? It comes with a booklet. (was the download an afterthought or did they know in advance) I see now that there is an extension cord you can purchase, this will certainly make it easier to use, then I see others are having the same issue with the prongs and using the cord. so it is definitely an issue with the design and the connections. If they address this issue and solve the problem, then this is a great product for the price. Seems they care a little about the product they have fixed a cheap book by putting making the directions a download. I will attempt to return the product but since I opened it up and then reglued it I doubt I get a refund! ... show more
