Innova 5610 OBD2 Bidirectional Scan Tool Full Feature Test and Demo Part 2

Innova Auto sent me over the new 5610 ODB2 bidirectional scan tool to chek out. This is a full and complete feature test and demo of the tool on my 2007 Ford F150 truck.

Product available here:

Thank you @InnovaAuto for sending me over the 5610!

I bought an Innova 5610 in January 2024 from Amazon and I got a nice soft case and a 121 page English language manual. You can’t beat this tool for its capabilities vs price.

26:08 You can highlight another graph, and when you superimpose them, you can overlay them. So they are on the same graph. 1 graph multiple pids.

I love it. Mine's on order from Walmart+. 1st scanner of any kind, latest vehicle besides current 2009 Explorer 4x4 4.0 was 1989 Toyota cargo van. Can't wait to use my Android tablet with downloaded app!

STFT means Short Term Fuel Trim and LTFT means Long Term Fuel Trim (more important). STFT and LTFT work in tandem to maintain a precise air-fuel ratio. STFT handles immediate fluctuations, while LTFT adapts the base fuel delivery based on long-term trends. Ideally, both values should stay close to 0%, indicating a perfect air-fuel mixture of 14.7 parts of air to 1 part of fuel (i.e. 14.7:1). Significant deviations (+/- 10% or more; less than +/-10% is within spec) might indicate underlying issues with the engine or its sensors.

So if the LTFT is at +15%, it means the upstream 02 sensor(s) (the ones before the catalytic converter; the "downstream" O2 is between the CAT and the exhaust tailpipe) was detecting more air than fuel (i.e. a lean condition), the PCM (or ECU/ECM) then tells the STFT to add more fuel (i.e. PCM gives a "Rich command" to the STFT) to balance it out until it gets back to 14.7:1. If that's done long enough, the LTFT adjusts in the positive direction to add (+) more fuel resulting in a higher LTFT (e.g. 15%) and saves it to memory (PCM/ECU/ECM). Then the STFT has a new baseline to work from, in this case +15% from the LTFT until the issue(s) is resolved. Vice versa if the LTFT is -15%).

Thanks for the video. Just bought one myself.

Thanks for the video, I just bought this scanner, but it hasn’t came in yet

Thank you for the great review!! Just trying to see who has the lowest price on them.

Nice review.
Have you come across a better bi-directional scanner than this with battery test capabilities that do not require subscriptions?
Also, how do you take a video of yourself without holding the camera? I need something similar to explain doing things for my kids remotely.

Does it reset tcm, , and ecu, , and reset for idle control after installing new carb?

[RobertRappuchi]

I'm trying to use the 5610 to monitor the oil pressure to diagnose a P06DD code, but I can't find oil pressure.

[odensunboxing]

where can i find the activite test or cam relearn? i cannot find it

[Oldcarnut]

Will this work on 2024 and newer cars and trucks?

[johnpalma]

Does it require internet or WIFI service to the cell phone?

[jamesmichael]

Does this do a EGR Reset ? How about Reset for Fuel Pump ? Fuel Pressure ? How about Compression test for Sparks and Plugs ? Can you used a Wifi hotspot to do a live data ? How do you updates this scan tool ? Can you updatw through wifi hotspot ?

[natvega]

What if you plug into a motorcycle with obd2 plug thats on the bike?😮

[ivanstrickland]

some of those recalls are free regardless of warranty.

[MsTragedy]

You do think it’s better than the blue driver obd

[crabapple]

why does it ask 'is this your vehicle?'

[natevillagomez]

Pro tip: Innova’s 5610 is exactly the same as Harbor Freights Zurich ZR15s (cheaper).
You’re welcome ☺️

I love how mine started smoking as soon as I put batteries in it . piece of garbage
