Innova 5410: How to perform an OBD Monitor Test

Purpose

To guide you on how to perform the OBD Monitor Test while using the Innova 5410.

OBD Monitor Test

The OBD Monitor Test function retrieves and displays test results for emission-related powertrain components and systems that are not continuously monitored. The tests available are determined by the vehicle manufacturer.

Note: The Scan Tool does not perform the OBD monitor test, but retrieves results from the most recently performed tests from the onboard computer’s memory. You may retrieve OBD monitor test results for only one test at any given time.

Step 1 - Press the MENU button.

While linked to the vehicle, press the MENU button to access the Main Menu.

The Main Menu will display. Select System Tests, then press ENTER ↵.
