The Innova 3100j offers more than just basic code reading. Here are some of its advanced features:
- Live Data Stream: This feature allows you to view real-time data from your vehicle’s sensors, providing valuable insights into engine performance, sensor readings, and more.
- Freeze Frame Data: When a fault occurs, the Innova 3100j captures a snapshot of the engine’s parameters at that specific moment. This “freeze frame” data can be crucial in diagnosing intermittent issues.
