Correct. All Innova branded scanners will work on Chevrolet vehicles. Depending on the type of scanner you purchase, you’ll also be able to diagnose both OBD1 (pre-1996) and OBD2 (post-1996) vehicles.
However, it’s important to understand that not all features we provide may be available on your Chevy vehicle. Every vehicle’s year, make, and model will have different feature sets.
In this article, we’ll go over the available OBD2 features in-depth for certain select Chevrolet vehicles.
- 2015 Chevy Silverado
- 2020 Chevy Equinox
- 2004 Chevy Malibu
- 2008 Chevy Camaro
A Few Words of Caution
Depends on Vehicle
As mentioned above, feature availability depends on your specific vehicle. We can’t possibly go over every single vehicle year, make, and model combo, so we’ll only stick to a few of the most popular ones.
If you’d rather check vehicle compatibility yourself and see all the features available by your vehicle’s specific year and model, feel free to utilize our Coverage Checker. We present this information to the best of our knowledge, but it is not guaranteed.

Depends on Tool
It’s obvious, but feature availability will depend on the type of scanner you choose. For the purpose of this article, we’ll use our most advanced handheld scanner - the Innova 5610 - as our scanner.
You can use our Comparison Chart to check which model supports what feature. For example, if the Innova 5610 supports EPB reset, you can safely assume the Innova 5510 will also be able to reset it.
