## Overview

The INNOVA 3145 Ford Digital OBD1 Code Reader is a specialized diagnostic tool designed for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles from 1982 to 1995. Featuring a clear digital numeric display, it communicates with MCU and EEC-IV computer systems to retrieve and store engine and transmission trouble codes. Its memory function preserves codes even when unplugged, enabling real-time and stored code diagnostics. This professional-grade device comes with comprehensive instructions, making it an essential tool for precise and confident vehicle troubleshooting.

## 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.

Review: Well worth the money! - 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.
Review: A great diagnostic tool for trouble shooting engine codes for early Ford trucks - Used this code reader on a 96 Ford F250 with 460 V8. It provided sevetal codes which enabled me to diagnose my ignition problems. A very useful tool and easy to use. You will have to connect it to the connector assembly which is under the hood on the right side of the vehicle below the hood spring.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it allow you to reset check engine light after codes are read.**
A: So it doesn't clear the CEL, the light will not turn on when you fix what ever needs fixed.

**Q: will this work on my 92 ford aerostar 4.0 E4wd?**
A: Yes, this will work for the OBD1 EEC IV Engine computer in a 1992 Ford Aerostar.  However it will not read Transmission, ABS Air Bag or Brake codes

**Q: Is this the one that you get the codes from the motor under the hood or is this the one for one part of the motor?**
A: This code reader is for getting the codes out of the engine control computer that makes the check engine light come on. You have to use the connection under the hood to hook it up, but you will need to operate the ignition switch during the testing/reading so you should also buy the extension cable so you can watch this unit display the codes from inside the vehicle, sitting behind the wheel. It does NOT directly check anything mechanical inside the engine like oil pressure or ignition timing. It only tells if the computer thinks something is not working like an oxygen sensor or other sensors. It also does not monitor engine temperature or speed or if an injector is working or not. I don't believe it can make the check engine light turn off or reset.

**Q: do i need to buy anything else in order to read codes?**
A: No, A book comes with the code reader and I also bought the plug in cord with the INNOVA. Be sure to read instructions before turning on the reader or starting the car.
