Product Information
Full details
The Autel PowerScan PS100 is an essential diagnostic tool for automotive technicians and DIY enthusiasts who need to quickly troubleshoot 12V and 24V electrical systems. By combining a voltmeter, ohmmeter, and power probe into one ergonomic device, it streamlines the process of tracking shorts, checking grounds, and testing components. While it is highly intuitive, users should exercise caution when applying power to sensitive automotive electronics to avoid accidental damage.

FAQs
Can the PS100 be used on 24V trucks?
Yes, the PS100 is fully compatible with both 12V and 24V electrical systems.
Does this tool come with a case?
Yes, the PS100 typically includes a blow-molded carrying case for protection and organization.
Will this tool damage an ECU?
While the tool is safe to use on most circuits, you should never inject power into ECU data lines or sensitive sensor circuits that operate at low voltage.
How long is the power cable?
The PS100 features a long, flexible cable designed to reach from the battery to the perimeter of most passenger vehicles.
Is the probe tip replaceable?
Yes, the metal probe tip is designed to be user-replaceable if it becomes damaged or worn over time.
Can I use this to test for continuity?
Yes, the tool features a continuity test mode that uses an audible tone to confirm if a circuit is closed.
Troubleshooting
The display is blank when connected.
Ensure both battery clips are firmly attached to the battery terminals and verify the vehicle battery has sufficient charge.
The device keeps tripping the internal circuit breaker.
You are likely encountering a dead short to ground; stop injecting power immediately and inspect the circuit for damaged wiring.
Reading values seem inaccurate.
Ensure the probe tip has a clean, solid metal-to-metal contact with the connection point and check that the ground clip is securely attached.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile 3-in-1 tool (voltmeter, ohmmeter, and power injector)
- Supports both 12V and 24V vehicle systems
- Easy-to-read LCD display for quick data interpretation
- High-quality, long probe cable for accessing hard-to-reach areas
- Safety features include a circuit breaker for overload protection
Cons
- Requires careful handling to prevent accidental shorting of sensitive ECUs
- Learning curve for beginners unfamiliar with circuit testing
- Requires a direct connection to the vehicle's battery to operate
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the PS100, connect the red battery clip to the positive terminal and the black clip to the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery. The tool performs a quick self-test and is then ready to measure voltage or resistance.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with all 12V and 24V DC electrical systems.
Care Instructions:
- Always store the probe in a clean, dry location when not in use.
- Inspect the probe tip periodically for wear or debris buildup.
- Keep the connection cables free from oil, grease, and sharp edges that might fray the insulation.
- Ensure the tool is kept away from extreme heat sources to protect the internal circuitry.
