    The Equus 3140 Innova Dignostic Code Scanner is an enhanced scan tool that is loaded with many professional features. If you are new to diagnostic scanners, this handy tool connects to your vehicle, scans various parts of your car, truck or SUV, and retrieves a list of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and code definitions from your vehicle's computer. But even if you're a veteran to scanners and auto repair, you'll be impressed with the new functionality that Equus has added to the 3140. This device not only scans your vehicle, it also allows you to freeze-frame live timing and pinpoint your vehicle's problem. Instead of having to recreate a scenario over and over again, you can now playback the timing to scrutinize all the data and make a clear diagnosis. Combine this with Internet connectivity and the ability to interface with a PC, and you have a powerful, professional diagnostic scanner in the palm of your hand.

    The Equus 3140 easily scans all OBD-II
    and many OBD-I vehicles.


    As government agencies establish more stringent emission laws, vehicles continue to become more sophisticated for maintenance and repairs, forcing professional mechanics, DIYers, and consumers alike to find easy-to-use tools for diagnosing their vehicles. Many tools have already been developed to access these powerful on-board vehicle computers, but the Equus tool is particularly simple to use and surprisingly affordable. It is designed to be used by almost anyone, from the weekend mechanic to the ASE master technician. The 3140 Diagnostic Code Scanner can retrieve diagnostic codes in all OBD II (1996 and newer) and some of the most popular OBD I (1982 to 1995) vehicles. The scanner features a unique, patented all-in-one LCD screen that shows 25 parameters at once without the need to scroll through time consuming menus. Separate LED indicators located below the screen provide quick OBD I/M emissions checks; so you'll know if you're ready to pass those ever-increasingly stringent laws. Equus built the 3140 to display on-screen DTC definitions and user interfaces in English, Spanish, or French, and the trilingual language selection is accessed via a simple menu command. This device can store diagnostic codes in its memory for off-car review and analysis. Additionally, you can connect the 3140 to your PC with the included cables and software to generate, print, and save detailed diagnostic reports--and even update the scanner via the Internet.

    The 3140 links to all OBD II protocols including CAN (Controller Area Network). The tool captures and displays freeze frame data that will help you pinpoint and troubleshoot any problem. This device is equipped to retrieve the following OBD II diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs): Generic Codes (P0, P2, P3, and U0) and Manufacturer Specific Codes (P1, P3, and U1). In addition, the tool provides live data (view, record, and playback live PCM data streams), bi-directional testing, vehicle ID capture, and O2 sensor results.

    The Equus 3140 can also perform diagnostic scans for the following OBD I vehicles:
    • General Motors: all 1982-1993, and some 1994-1995 models
    • Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury: 1983-1995 models with EEC-IV systems (KOEO, KOER, timing check, cylinder balance test, output state test, and wiggle test)
    • Toyota/Lexus: 1991-1995
    • Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth: 1984-1995
    • Jeep: 1993-1995

    5 out of 5 stars Equus 3140 scanner   August 27, 2010
    Ted A. Buchanan
    Works exactly as advertised. Paid itself back already. I am reading everybodys codes!


    4 out of 5 stars Works pretty good.   July 29, 2010

    I have used this on several cars: 87 S15, 94 Camaro, 95 Escort (obd1), 96 F150, 99 Caravan, 99 Sebring, and a 99 Alero. The only problems I have had is the Chrysler enhanced data. So far none of the enhanced Chrysler data works and the tool was unable to communicate with the trans module. Could just be that the PCM is not compatible with those tests but why would the tool show that those tests could be performed? I also cannot get this tool to communicate with the 94 camaro, but I have not finished my diagnosis; could be a problem with the vehicle and not the tool. The first vehicle I scanned was my 96 f150. It would not communicate at first. I thought it was the tool but in the excitement of having a new toy in my hands, I forgot the check the diag link fuse. DURRR!!!!

    THe tool its self seems to be made well for the price, but I would take extra care not to drop it. The cables and adapters are nice, but the scanner its self is not as rugged as a pro quality scan tool.

    I wish it came with a usb adapter for the PC link. I bought a serial to usb adapter but can't get it to work. Luckily I have an old computer with a serial port. The firmware was current, so I didn't really need PC link anyway. Also, the case looks nice but is too small to store the scanner with the cable attached, so I just leave the case unzipped. I don't want to wear out the connector out with constant connecting and disconnecting.

    This unit did freeze up on me while I was trying to get it to link to PC. There was a high frequency whine from the unit and I actually had to remove the batteries to get it to re-boot. Has worked fine since.

    The diag software and website are completely useless, but an experienced tech shouldn't need them anyway. I am happy with this scanner, espically for the price.

    Finally, I wish Innova could make an all inclusive scan tool. Obd 1, 2, abs, and bcm abilities all in one would be awesome.

    If you do your own car work this is a very valuable tool to have. It has saved me hundreds of dollars in repair costs. It is not too difficult to use considering all it does but it is not as easy as turning on your TV. It takes some study but it certainly provides for great troubleshooting of your car. There are times when it does not locate the exact item but it may just narrow it down for you. I use this tool in conjunction with the factory manuals and can find most problems. I'm really impressed with this tool.
