Innova SD35 SD-Advisor: Viewing the Vehicle Information

Purpose

To explain to you how to view your Vehicle Information while using the Innova SD35 SD-AdvisorTablet Scan Tool.

Introduction

The Innova SD35 SD-Advisor Tablet Scan Tool lets you view your Vehicle Information. This function provides a variety of information about your vehicle, such as its Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), Manufateret, Model, Engine, Control Module Identification Number, and other relevant details. This information can be helpful for vehicle owners, as well as Technicians or garages, to diagnose problems, make informed decisions about repairs, and keep vehicles running smoothly.

The Tablet offers three options for retrieving reference information for the vehicle under test:

• Vehicle ID (ID)
• Available Modules
• In-use Performance Tracking (IPT)

Procedure

Step 1 - Connect the Innova SD35 SD-Advisor Tablet Scan Tool to the vehicle and select the 'OBD2 Diagnostics' function.

• First, connect the Innova SD35 SD-Advisor Tablet Scan Tool to your vehicle via the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) to retrieve the vehicle's information.

Step 2 – View the Vehicle Information.

• From the ‘OBD2 Menu’, select Vehicle Information - $09, then press OK.

  • The vehicle’s VIN number.
  • The control module identification number.
  • The vehicle’s calibration ID(s). These IDs uniquely identify the software version(s) for the vehicle’s control module(s).
  • The Vehicle’s Calibration Verification Number(s) (CVNs) required by ODB2 regulations. CVNs are used to determine if emission-related calibrations for the vehicle under test have been changed. One or more CVNs may be provided by the vehicle’s computer.
