The Innova 7111 tablet scan tool offers a Special Function feature that allows users to interact with various vehicle modules, including the Engine Control Module (ECM). This functionality enables crucial tasks such as component synchronization, module resets, and performing specific operations impacting vehicle performance. This article will guide you through using the Engine Control Module (ECM) Special Function on the Innova 7111.
Accessing the Engine Control Module (ECM) on the Innova 7111
The Innova 7111 provides access to the ECM through its OEM Diagnostics section. After connecting the device to the vehicle’s OBD-II port, navigate to the ‘OEM Diagnostics’ option on the home screen. This will display a comprehensive list of the vehicle’s systems.
Locate and select ‘ECM – Engine Control Module’ from the list of available systems. Once inside the ECM section, you will find a range of diagnostic functions, including the ‘Special Function’ option. Select this option to proceed. Within the ECM Special Function menu, you will find various functions depending on the vehicle’s make and model.
Utilizing the Special Function for the ECM
After selecting the ‘Special Function’ within the ECM, the Innova 7111 will display a list of available functions for that specific vehicle’s engine control module. An example of a common function is the ‘Evap. Leakage Test’. Choose the desired function to execute.
Before the function is performed, the Innova 7111 will present a set of prerequisites that must be met. These conditions ensure the function can be executed safely and accurately. Carefully review these conditions and verify that your vehicle meets all requirements before proceeding.
Confirming that the conditions are met will initiate the chosen function. The scan tool will communicate with the vehicle’s ECM to perform the operation. After completion, the results will be displayed on the screen. For instance, after an Evap. Leakage Test, the results will indicate whether a leak was detected.
The Innova 7111 tablet’s ability to interact with the Engine Control Module through its Special Function provides a powerful diagnostic and maintenance tool for vehicle owners and technicians. The range of functions available depends on the specific vehicle, but common tasks include system resets, component synchronization, and specialized tests like the Evap. Leakage Test. Remember to consult the device’s user manual for a complete list of functions and their specific applications. Using the Special Functions for the ECM can help diagnose and resolve various engine-related issues, enhancing vehicle performance and reliability.
