Innova Premium OBD2: FCA Vehicle Compatibility (Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram)
For FCA vehicles manufactured in 2017 or earlier, the Innova Premium OBD2 offers complete system diagnostics. For 2018 and newer FCA vehicles requiring AutoAuth access, functionality is limited to features like TPMS relearn and live data streaming. Operations such as code erasure, oil resets, and battery initialization are not supported due to AutoAuth restrictions. For comprehensive FCA diagnostics requiring AutoAuth, consider the Innova 7111 tablet.
Innova Premium OBD2: Reprogramming and Key Fob Capabilities
The Innova Premium OBD2 scanner does not support vehicle computer reprogramming or key fob programming. It primarily focuses on diagnostic functions, providing insights into vehicle health and trouble codes.
Innova Premium OBD2: Requirements for Vehicle Operation
The Innova Premium OBD2 scanner requires the vehicle to be capable of starting or at least cranking. This is essential for establishing communication with the vehicle’s Electronic Control Units (ECUs). If the engine cannot crank, the scanner will be unable to connect and retrieve diagnostic information. A functional ignition system is a prerequisite for OBD2 scanner operation.
