Innova 5512 OBD2 Scanner Details
The Innova 5512 reads more than basic engine codes. Its System Menu retrieves OEM enhanced DTCs, ABS codes and SRS codes for most BMW, Chrysler/Jeep, Ford/Mazda, GM/Isuzu, Honda/Acura, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Toyota/Lexus, Volkswagen and Volvo vehicles. A Network Scan can check every module at once with All Module Scan, which shows how many DTCs each module has stored. You can also scan one module chosen from groups such as Drive, Chassis or Body. When the scanner can't decode the VIN, you pick the make yourself.
The Service Reset menu covers common maintenance jobs. It can reset the oil maintenance light, and if the automatic reset fails, it shows the manual procedure instead. Battery Reset can show battery procedures or run a battery reset OBD service on BMW, Ford, Volvo, Audi and Volkswagen models. On Audi and Volkswagen vehicles, the tool codes the new battery's part number, manufacturer and serial number. Steering Angle Sensor Calibration works on BMW, Chrysler, Ford, GM, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo. ABS Bleeding supports Chrysler, GM, Hyundai/Kia, Mazda and Toyota. The menu also includes an electronic parking brake (EPB) reset.
The Service Check screen shows engine oil level, remaining oil life, brake pad condition and transmission fluid temperature. The battery test menu checks the battery and alternator on conventional vehicles. On EV, HEV and PHEV models, it shows a graph of the state of charge for every cell in the battery pack. The battery test uses voltage thresholds of 11.8 V and 12.1 V to judge whether the battery is charged enough. The alternator test runs with the engine held at 2000 RPM and the headlights on.
Advanced OBD2 functions are in the System Tests menu. They include O2 Sensor Monitor (Mode $05) results and OBD Monitor Test (Mode $06) results with Test ID, Module ID, Component ID, and minimum and maximum limits. The tool compares each test value with its limit and reports it as Low, High or OK. Request Control (Mode $08) can start an EVAP leak test, a particulate filter regeneration or an inducement system reinitialization. You can view I/M Readiness for either Since DTCs Cleared or This Drive Cycle.
The Vehicle Information menu shows the VIN, calibration IDs, CVNs, a list of available modules and In-use Performance Tracking statistics. The IPT statistics include the OBDCOND and IGNCNTR counters. A DLC Locator shows where the diagnostic port is by model year, make and model, whether it's covered, and includes a picture. The Tool Library contains OBD1 and OBD2 DTC definitions, explanations of the monitor icons and LEDs, and a QR code for installing the free RepairSolutions2 app.
The RepairSolutions2 app pairs with the scanner over Bluetooth. It offers verified fixes from ASE technicians, predicted repairs for the next 12 months, TSBs and NHTSA recalls, vehicle health reports and upcoming maintenance, and you can buy parts directly in the app. For older Ford vehicles, the tool runs the KOEO, KOER, Timing Check, Cylinder Balance, Output State and Wiggle tests. The timing check confirms that timing advances 20° (±3°) above base timing. Settings let you change the audible tone, footer messages, hotkey legends and the I/M program state.
