I'm not even sure if thats what I need but my Check Engine light came on and I have no error messages or anything. How would I found out whats wrong without going to the dealer? Any input would be very appreciated.

You could go to an Autozone and they could scan it for free. If the car is running fine, just have them reset it and see if the light comes back on. They will probably be able to give you the fault code and then look up the meaning on the internet. That will get you headed in the right direction and let you know what more needs to be done.

I have an Innova 3120. Works GREAT...... I live in Gainesville but I am in Tampa every other week. If you still end up needing it, lemme know. It reads the code and gives a definition of the code. Did you check the gas cap? When mine turned on last time, it ended up being for the 2nd o2 sensor. Easy fix..... and covered under warranty.

No problem. Glad to help... makes me feel like the $250 I paid for the scanner is getting put to use.

I am taking zee blonde to savannah for new years, so this upcoming week I am skipping my normal trip to Tampa. Next time I am in Tampa should be the following monday. Let me know and we can set it up. I am actually going to be resetting a college buddy's check engine light this next trip to tampa....... so you are more than welcome to grab a beer with us afterwards.
