Innova OBD-II Code Reader 5110 — Compact Check Engine Scanner for 1996+ Cars, Reads/Clears Codes & Emissions Readiness

The INNOVA 5110 is a compact OBD-II code reader that quickly reads and clears check engine codes and checks emissions readiness on most 1996 and newer vehicles.

If you want a no-frills diagnostic tool that gets straight to the point, the 5110 is built for car owners and DIY mechanics who need accurate, easy-to-read fault codes, freeze frame data, and battery voltage checks without a steep learning curve. It plugs into your vehicle’s OBD-II port and provides clear code descriptions along with compatibility for the free RepairSolutions2 app to access repair guidance.

How does the 5110 help me diagnose a check engine light?

The 5110 reads generic and many manufacturer-specific diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), shows freeze frame snapshot data captured when a fault occurred, and can clear codes after repairs. It helps you determine whether a light is a minor sensor issue or a problem you should take to a shop.

• Reads and clears OBD-II trouble codes on most 1996 and newer cars
• Displays freeze frame data for the moment the fault happened
• Provides plain-language code descriptions on the device

Can this reader tell if my car will pass a smog test?

The 5110 reports I/M readiness monitors so you can confirm emissions systems are reporting correctly before a smog check. That helps avoid wasted trips to the testing station and gives you time to complete drive cycles or repairs if monitors are incomplete.

• Shows emissions readiness status for key monitors
• Useful for pre-test checks to prevent failed smog appointments
• Helps identify which systems need attention to complete drive cycles

What extra diagnostic info does it provide beyond basic codes?

Beyond reading and clearing codes, the 5110 offers Mode 6 data for advanced diagnostics and provides battery voltage and charging system checks. Mode 6 and freeze frame details give technicians and experienced DIYers more context for intermittent or complex faults.

• Access to Mode 6 for advanced diagnostic parameters
• Freeze frame snapshots showing engine conditions when faults occurred
• Battery voltage readout to quickly screen charging/starting issues

How does the RepairSolutions2 app work with the 5110?

Pairing the 5110 with the free RepairSolutions2 app lets you look up ASE-certified repair information, likely fixes, and parts guidance without a subscription. The app translates code data into actionable repair suggestions to help plan parts and labor before you start work.

• Free RepairSolutions2 integration for repair guidance and parts info
• Provides ASE-certified repair tips linked to retrieved codes
• No subscription required to view suggested fixes and maintenance steps

Who is this for? The INNOVA 5110 fits vehicle owners, fleet managers, and beginner to intermediate DIYers who want a straightforward, dependable OBD-II scanner for routine diagnostics, emissions readiness checks, and basic battery testing. If you need live-streaming data, oil light resets, or in-depth live graphing, consider stepping up to a more feature-rich model like the INNOVA 5210. Otherwise, the 5110 delivers fast, clear code reads and repair pointers in a compact, user-friendly package.

• Key features include code reading/clearing, I/M readiness, freeze frame, Mode 6, battery test, and RepairSolutions2 app support.
• Compatible with most cars, trucks, and SUVs from 1996 onwards that use the OBD-II standard.
• Simple setup: plug into the OBD port, power on, read codes, and consult the app for repair guidance.
