Innova scanners are compatible with Buick vehicles, both old and new, spanning OBD1 and OBD2 systems. However, the functionality of specific features may vary depending on the scanner model and your particular car.
This article will guide you through which features are compatible with various Buick models, using information sourced from Innova's Coverage Checker.

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.
