Innova 5210 Display Functions

1. I/M MONITOR STATUS field - Identifies the I/M Monitor status area.

2. Monitor Icons - These icons indicate which Monitors are supported by the vehicle under test, and whether or not the associated Monitor ran its diagnostic testing (Monitor status). A solid green icon indicates that the associated Monitor completed its diagnostic testing. A flashing red icon indicates that the vehicle supports the associated Monitor, but the Monitor has not yet run its diagnostic testing.

3. Vehicle Icon – When visible, it indicates that the Scan Tool is successfully powered through the vehicle’s DLC connector.

4. Link Icon - When visible, indicates that the Scan Tool is currently communicating with the vehicle’s computer.

5. Computer Icon - When visible, indicates the Scan Tool is successfully linked to a personal computer.

RED - Indicates that the currently displayed DTC is a stored or permanent DTC.
YELLOW - Indicates that the currently displayed DTC is a pending DTC.
GREEN - In cases where no codes are retrieved, a 'No DTCs are presently stored in the vehicle’s computer' message will show in green.

7. Code Number Sequence - The Scan Tool assigns a sequence number to each DTC present in the computer’s memory, starting with '1.' This number indicates which code is currently displayed. Code number '1' is always the highest priority code for which Freeze Frame data has been stored. If '1' is a 'Pending' code, there may or may not be Freeze Frame data stored in memory.

8. Code Enumerator - Indicates the total number of codes retrieved from the vehicle’s computer.

9. Test Data Display Area - Displays DTC definitions, Freeze Frame data, and other pertinent test information messages.
