A user recently shared their experience with an OBDII EOBD scanner, likely the Innova 3100j (commonly referred to as 98614). After successfully installing the software and drivers on a Vista Home Premium 64-bit system, the device connected without issue. Initial tests on a vehicle using the SAE J1850 VPW protocol revealed the control module identified as “$10”. This module reported no stored codes, pending codes, or freeze frame data.
Diving into the Data: O2 Sensor Readings and On-Board Monitoring Tests
The scanner provided detailed O2 sensor data for Bank 1, Sensor 1. Readings included Rich-Lean Threshold voltage measurements (0.345V and 0.550V respectively), along with values for parameters $70 (20 counts), $71 (21 values), $83 (75 values), $84 (118 values), $85 (52 values), $86 (60 values), and $87 (113 values). Bank 1, Sensor 2 data was not supported or stored.
Further analysis involved On-Board Monitoring (OBM) tests. Test $02 yielded several data IDs with corresponding measurements, maximum and minimum values, and status indicators (OK or Fail). Notably, IDs 06, 30, 40, and 11 reported “Fail” status. Specifically:
- ID 06: Measured 8000, expected range 803C minimum.
- ID 30: Measured 0, expected minimum 13E.
- ID 40: Measured 0, expected minimum FFFF.
- ID 11: Measured 0, expected minimum 78.
Other IDs, including 66, 36, 60, 62, 72, 21, and 71, showed an “OK” status. Test data for $05 and $0E were not supported or stored by the module. The user also noted the included manual lacked sufficient detail for interpreting the results.
Deciphering the “$10” and Next Steps
The “$10” likely represents a hexadecimal identifier for the specific control module being accessed by the Obdii Eobd Scanner 98614. While the exact meaning of this identifier may vary depending on the vehicle make and model, it’s crucial for pinpointing the source of potential issues.
The “Fail” status on several OBM test IDs suggests further investigation is needed. Consulting vehicle-specific repair manuals or online resources can help interpret these codes and diagnose the underlying problem. Cross-referencing the failed test IDs with the O2 sensor data may also provide valuable insights. The user’s feedback regarding the inadequate manual highlights the importance of seeking supplementary information when using OBDII scanners.
Conclusion: Utilizing the OBDII EOBD Scanner 98614 for Diagnostics
The obdii eobd scanner 98614, potentially the Innova 3100j, provides valuable data for vehicle diagnostics. Understanding the meaning of the control module identifier and interpreting the test results, particularly the “Fail” statuses, is essential for effective troubleshooting. While the provided manual may be lacking, additional resources are available to help users fully utilize the scanner’s capabilities and identify potential vehicle problems. Further analysis and research, combined with the data provided by the scanner, can lead to accurate diagnoses and efficient repairs.
