For 2018 and newer FCA vehicles requiring AutoAuth access, functionality is limited to features like TPMS relearn and live data.

Will the 3020RS Work on a Vehicle That Won’t Start or Crank?
No, the Innova 3020RS requires the vehicle to at least crank in order to establish a connection with the vehicle’s Electronic Control Units (ECUs). OBD2 scanners rely on communication with the ECUs, which is impossible if the vehicle cannot start.
