First, connect the Innova SDS50 SDS-Tech Tablet Scan Tool to your vehicle via the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) to retrieve the vehicle's information, such as Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and model.

Then, select the 'OBD2 Diagnostic' function.

Tap the ‘Vehicle Information' button to view your vehicle information. The Vehicle Information section has four types of information, including Additional Vehicle Information, Vehicle ID, Available Module, and In-Use Performance Tracking (IPT). Scroll to view each section.

Additional Vehicle Information offers basic such as the VIN, Year, Manufacturer, Model, Engine and more information of your vehicle.

The VIN is valuable information for mechanics and diagnositc technicians, helping them to order the correct parts, access warranty information, check for recalls, and access a vehicle's history. By using the VIN, auto repairers can make informed decisions about repairs and maintenance, ensuring that the vehicle is safe and reliable for the customer.

The Vehicle ID section displays the Vehicle Calibration Identification Number (Cal ID) and Calibration Verification Number (CVN). The Cal IDs uniquely identifies the software version for the vehicle’s control module. The CVN are used to determine if emission-related calibrations for the vehicle under test have been changed. One or more CVNs may be returned by the vehicle's computer.

The Cal ID and CVN are important codes used to identify and verify the calibration of Engine Control Module (ECM) of a vehicle. By using these codes, auto repairers can verify that the correct calibration is loaded into the ECM, reprogram the ECM if necessary, and make informed decisions about warranty claims for engine-related issues.

The Innova SDS50 SDS-Tech Tablet Scan Tool will show details of the protocol and Electronic Control Unit (ECU) address of the responding ECU that established communication with the Scan Tool.

It helps to streamline the repair process, save time and money, and improve the quality of repairs, which can be very beneficial for those who repair cars.

The Innova SDS50 SDS-Tech Tablet Scan Tool can retrieve IPT statistics for monitors supported by the vehicle under test. Two values are returned for each monitor; the number of times that all conditions necessary for a specific monitor to detect a malfunction have been encountered (XXXCOND) and the number of times that the vehicle has been operated under the specific conditions for the monitor (XXXCOMP). Statistics are also provided for the number of times the vehicle has been operated in OBD Monitoring Conditions (OBDCOND) and the number of times the vehicle’s engine has been started (IGNCNTR).

• In-Use Performance Tracking for Spark Ignition Engines: It provides information about tracking in-use performance for Catalyst banks, Oxygen Sensor banks, Evaporative Leak Detection Systems, Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) systems, and Secondary Air Systems.
• In-Use Performance Tracking for Compression Ignition Engines: It provides information about tracking in-use performance for NMHC (Non-Methane Hydrocarbon) Catalyst, NOx Catalyst monitor, NOx Adsorber monitors, Exhaust Gas Sensor monitor, EGR monitor, Boost Pressure monitor, and Fuel System monitor.
