Payed for itself on first use
I bought INNOVA 3100 about 2 weeks ago because my MIL (Malfunction For Light) was on. Plugged it in after reading the manual. It said Oxygen Sensor Volley 1 Heater was bad. Called Mitsubishi dealer: Cost of part $317.43 plus 30 minutes of look for time. Looked up a replacement on internet at a cost of $37 advantage $10 for a special socket to remove and replace. Another $7 for a Sears crimping dupe and I replaced the part and saved over $228 plus I have the INNOVA to use over and over again.

Bought this, regurgitate 15 minutes studying the manual, plugged it in, and it worked first at all times -- read out the "check engine" code, and, when later plugged into a PC, approved the details to be printed in a nice report. The only negative I've noticed is that when you reset the "check into engine" code in the car's computer, it erases the reader's memory of it, so you have to do the PC printout before resetting the encode. Some folks believe that if you use a device like this on one car it's "locked in" to that car and can't be used on a out of the ordinary car. This is not true -- I've used it on several different cars with no problems.
