The Innova 5210 is an impressive entry-level tool. Large, easy to read, 2.8 inch color display displays more than 20 messages. High-end features such as ABS and real-time data are available, with the real-time data feature allowing you to see the readout in real time, while the frozen frame data shows all vehicle information, Bluetooth and WiFi technology allowing you to access manufacturer data, cloud-based databases, and connect to Tech Masters verified fixes.
INNOVA Pro 5210 Bullet Points
- Design & Build Quality：The 5210 measures about 6″ x 3.5″,The nice, bright color display on the 5210 is almost 3″, The text and data graphs are sharp, although things get a little small when you combine multiple graphs on a single screen. We used the devices inside and in bright sunlight and could see the display with no problems.
- The Device is Great but the Data is Better: Innova has best-in-class data to help you Find the Problem and Fix the Problem. The 5210 code reader comes with the RepairSolutions2 — a unique app that gets you the information you need to keep your vehicle on the road. Get verified fixes, find and purchase the exact part required for repair, schedule maintenance, receive technical bulletins, recalls, and more.
- Code Sequence & Freeze-Frame Data: Whenever a DTC (again, diagnostic trouble code) is triggered, the vehicle saves a snapshot of the engine’s conditions to its internal memory at the time of the event. This is the freeze-frame data that displays on the screen after the first ‘P’ code. That first trouble code displayed on the device is always the highest-priority code and the one that the freeze-frame data on the following screen represents. Subsequent trouble codes, without freeze-frame data, will begin on the third screen if they exist.
- Easily Scan, Read and Reset Check Engine Lights, ABS(Brake) Codes& More: Innova’s 5210 OBD2 scanner empowers the home mechanic with its professional-level functionality. This car diagnostic tool not only reads and clears OBD trouble codes it also displays all vehicle information from when a trouble code was triggered. Works on any foreign or domestic 1996 or newer OBD2 car, light truck, SUV, or hybrid vehicle. Supports English, Spanish or French.
- Live Data Mode: Both the 5210 and 5610 Innova OBD2 scanners let you view and record real-time live data, such as RPMs, temperatures, speed, volts, and more. You can also monitor things like the fuel system and its status in real-time. The live data recording feature is useful for intermittent problems that may not trigger a DTC. You can record about 100 frames of live data. These are essentially screenshots, much like the freeze-frame data that is stored upon a DTC event. You can playback the saved data in a sort-of slide show view (15s per slide) or manually, frame-by-frame.
- Erasing DTCs: With this device, it’s just the press of a button. When DTCs are erased from the vehicle’s on-board computer, so too is the freeze-frame data and manufacturer-specific enhanced data. Permanent DTCs are not erased and trouble codes may appear again if the problems persist (e.g., if repairs are not made).
- Know Smog Check Results before State Does: More than just a car check engine light reader, the 5210 OBD2 scan tool also lets you check your emissions status using the red, yellow, and green LEDs to pre-determine whether you’ll be able to pass your smog test. This OBD2 scan tool can also provide trip cycle procedures for completing your smog check.

The Innova 5210 Review
4.5/ 5
4.5/ 5This plugged in and worked on my Ford really easily. The app gave me suggested repairs that made sense. When I tried to connect it to my second vehicle, an Infinity, I had to manually enter the VIN. Not sure if it’s the brand or if it only stores one vehicle at a time.
