Will the Innova 3020 Work on My Car?

However, specific features may vary depending on the year, make, and model of your vehicle. Consult our Coverage Checker to verify compatibility with your specific vehicle.
FCA Vehicle Compatibility (Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, Ram)
The Innova 3020 can diagnose all systems on FCA vehicles manufactured in 2017 or earlier. For 2018 and newer FCA vehicles requiring AutoAuth access, functionality is limited. It can perform TPMS relearn and display live data, but it cannot erase codes, perform oil resets, or handle battery initialization due to lack of AutoAuth access. For full functionality on newer FCA vehicles, consider the Innova 7111 tablet.
Can the Innova 3020 Reprogram a Car Computer?
No, the Innova 3020 cannot reprogram vehicle computers or program key fobs.
Will the Scanner Work on a Car That Won’t Start?
No, the Innova 3020, like all OBD2 scanners, requires the vehicle to at least crank in order to establish a connection with the vehicle’s Electronic Control Units (ECUs). If the engine cannot crank, the scanner will not be able to communicate with the ECUs and perform diagnostics.
