Innova 5610: Viewing Live Data - Mode 01

Introduction

The Innova 5610 lets you view and/or record Live Data. This information includes values such as volts, RPM, ECT temperature, speed, etc., and system status information such as open loop, closed loop, fuel trim levels, etc. These are generated by the various vehicle sensors, switches, and actuators. The Live Data operating information (values/status) that the computer (PCM) supplies to the Innova 5610 for each sensor, actuator, switch, etc. are called Parameter Identifications (PID). Each PID (sensor, actuator switch, status, etc.) has a set of operating characteristics and features that serve to identify it.

Step 1 -  Establish communication with the engine running, then press the LD button

  • Once the 5610 has established communication with the vehicle while the engine is running, press the LD button.

  • A One moment please message will display while the 5610 establishes communication with the vehicle.

    If the 5610 fails to establish communication with the vehicle's computer, a Communication Error message will display.

    • Ensure the vehicle is OBD2 compliant.
    • Verify the connection at the DLC, and verify the ignition is ON.
    • Turn the ignition OFF, wait 5 seconds, then back ON to reset the computer.
    • Press ENTER ↵ to continue.

Step 2 - View your Live Data (PID) information.

  • Your Real-time Live Data PIDs (Parameter Identifications) information will display for your vehicle.

    If Live Data is not supported by the vehicle under test, an advisory message will appear. Select Relink to try again, or, Select the System Status button to return to the System Menu.

  • Press the Live Data Menu button to access the Live Data Menu options.

Note: The values for the various PIDs displayed may change as the vehicle's operating conditions change. The image in Step 2 shows a 5610 displaying Live Data - Mode 01 while connected to a 2014 Ford Mustang 3.7L.

Step 3 - Press UP ▲ and DOWN ▼ to view all available PIDs

  • Only a limited amount of PID data can be displayed on the screen at one time.

    Press UP ▲ and DOWN ▼, as necessary, to view all available PID data.

  • To view your currently selected PID's expanded definition, press and hold down the ENTER ↵ button.

Note: The expanded definition functionality is available only when enabled through the Tool Settings.

Step 4 - Select Graph to view the currently selected PID as a Graph.


  • Select Graph to view the currently selected PID in Graph mode.

  • The Graph mode will display.

    Press the 2 Graphs button to select 2 Graphs, then the 4 Graphs button to show 4 Graphs. These additional graphs will display the following PIDs that you have chosen.

  • Select Text View to return to the PID list.

You can also Customize the Live Data display to show only those select PIDs you are interested in viewing. See Customizing Live Data (PIDs) for details. You may also choose to record Live Data for later viewing. See Recording Live Data for more information.
