Autel PowerScan PS100 Circuit Tester | 12V/24V Automotive Electrical Diagnostic Tool
Key Features
You read voltage, current, and resistance directly on a bright TFT color screen. Flip the switch to send power straight to cooling fans or relays from your hand. Identify positive, negative, open circuits, and bad grounds without blowing fuses. A twenty-foot extendable cable reaches deep into tight engine compartments. Circuit breaker protection shields delicate modules while passing full battery current safely.
Product Description
The Autel PowerScan PS100 merges a precision multimeter with a heavy-duty test light in one compact body. Cycle through four work modes to capture DC volts, AC signals, and resistance values. The sixteen-bit color LCD keeps every measurement sharp under garage shadows. Standard testing pulls under one milliamp, so probing near control boards stays completely risk-free. Engage the power toggle whenever you need to energize an accessory instantly.
Product Overview
This dedicated electrical probe targets passenger vehicles and light commercial trucks. You trace broken wires, verify connector integrity, and confirm polarity before replacing expensive parts. The reinforced polymer and metal shell survives drops and shop grit. Select your preferred red or black finish. The unit runs cleanly off any twelve or twenty-four volt vehicle battery, removing the hassle of external chargers.
Key Benefits
Cut diagnostic hours down to minutes by locating dead spots in a single pass. Audio tone tracking lets you follow hidden harnesses without staring at a screen. Replace multiple bulky gauges with one intuitive handheld device. A built-in LED washes away dark corners and cramped dash cavities. A rugged blow-molded case keeps cables grouped and protected between jobs.

What’s Included
Your shipment arrives with the PS100 unit, a protective carrying case, a twenty-foot extension cord, spare probe tip, battery hookup clips, cigarette lighter adapter, and a step-by-step instruction booklet.
How to Use
Tap the mode button sequentially to switch between DC voltage, AC analysis, resistance, and audible tone. Place the probe tip on your target node while resting the auxiliary ground lead on clean metal. To feed power to accessories, connect the extra ground lead to the chassis, push the switch forward until the breaker trips, reset it near control boards, and reactivate fully away from sensitive electronics.
Customer Benefits
You eliminate guesswork when chasing intermittent shorts or verifying sensor feeds. The clear interface lowers training time for apprentices while giving veterans total command over complex wiring diagrams. Precise readings translate directly to correct repairs and faster vehicle turnarounds.
Ideal Uses
Deploy this probe during daily fleet inspections, aftermarket alarm wiring, brake lamp verification, alternator load testing, and collision center harness authentication.
Who It’s For
Engineered for independent mechanics, dealership service staff, mobile repair drivers, and serious hobbyists who need rapid electrical confirmation without carrying heavy toolboxes.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is the PowerScan safe around computers and airbags? Yes. Drawing under one milliamp during standard testing protects all vehicle modules. Apply full battery current only after attaching the ground lead and tripping the circuit breaker.
-
Why does the tip lose power when I push the switch forward? The toggle switch naturally wears from frequent use. Pop the old rocker out, insert a fresh replacement, and restore full function without sending tools away for factory repair.
