This is great to use before getting an annual emissions 'smog' check, buying a used car or taking a long road trip. One of the most exciting improvements in the automobile industry was the addition of second-generation on-board (OBD2) diagnostics on vehicles. Adopted as part of a government mandate to lower vehicle emissions, this sophisticated program in the vehicle's main computer system is designed to detect failures, set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and turn on the 'CHECK ENGINE' light if a problem is found. All 1996 and newer cars, light trucks and SUVs manufactured for use in the U.S. have this technology. If the Check Engine light stays on, your vehicle may have a problem that ranges in severity from a loose gas cap, which wastes fuel and causes pollution, to an engine misfire, which could permanently damage your vehicle. Tools such as the INNOVA 3030 OBD2 CarReader offer the most efficient way to access this information and start repairs.
