If you have an Innova scanner, it's designed to work with Ram vehicles, whether they're older (pre-1996) or newer (post-1996), depending on your Innova model.

But keep in mind that Ram belongs to the FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) family. All FCA vehicles manufactured after 2018 have a Secure Gateway Module (SGW) implemented within its system, and the Innova 5610 does not provide access to it yet. If you’re looking for SGW access, only our 7111 tablet offers access at this moment (March 2024).

For the purpose of this article, we’ll use the Innova 5610 and see what features it supports with Ram vehicles prior to 2018.

  • 2013 RAM 1500
  • 2015 RAM 2500
  • 2017 RAM 4500
  • 2016 RAM 3500

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. As mentioned previously, for the purpose of this article, we’ll use our most advanced handheld scanner - the Innova 5610 - as our scanner.

If you’re interested in diagnosing 2018 or newer FCA vehicles, please select use our 7111 tablet and confirm feature availability with our Coverage Checker.
