The Autel PowerScan PS100 is an electrical circuit tester for vehicles that works on all electrical systems from 6 to 30 volts. The device is designed for diagnosing wiring problems, switches, fuses, lights and trailer lighting. The tester features a TFT color display with 160x128 dpi, a built-in flashlight for working in dark spaces and an audible tone indicator that makes results audible without visual contact with the screen.

After connecting the test leads to the vehicle battery, voltage, current and resistance can be read directly via the test point. By operating the switch, positive or negative current from the battery is sent to the test point, which directly activates electrical components such as cooling fans and relays without jumper cables. The built-in oscilloscope function displays signal patterns from camshaft, crankshaft and injector sensors, among others. An internal circuit protection cuts off the output in case of overload and can be restored via a reset button. The included 20ft extension cable makes it possible to measure across the entire vehicle length without having to find a suitable ground point each time.

ADVANTAGES

✔Activates components directly via the test point without jumper cables, saving time on relay and fan tests.
✔Extendable 20ft cable reaches tail lights and trailer lighting without moving the base station.
✔Audible tone signals make measurement results recognizable without viewing the display when measuring under the dashboard or in the engine bay.
✔Built-in oscilloscope function visualizes signal patterns from crankshaft, camshaft and injector sensors.

CONSIDERATIONS

✕For remote battery measurements, the 20ft extension cable must be fully extended, which requires considerable space in tight workshop environments.
✕When overloaded, the internal circuit protection cuts out and must be manually restored via the reset button before further testing can resume.
✕The 6 to 30V operating range excludes high-voltage systems in hybrid and electric vehicles.
✕The device is powered by the vehicle and cannot operate independently; an external power source is needed if the battery is dead.

Application and Functionality

The PowerScan PS100 supports the following electrical diagnostic tests:

  • Voltage and polarity check: Instantly shows whether a circuit is positive, negative, or open without switching clamps on the battery terminals.
  • Continuity testing: Verifies continuous connection through switches, relays, and diodes using the built-in ground cable.
  • Component activation: Energizes electrical components such as cooling fans and relays by applying positive or negative battery current through the test point.
  • Trailer lighting inspection: Tests the operation of trailer wiring and lights via the extended cable without disassembly.
  • Detecting poor ground connections: Identifies elevated resistance in ground connections without performing voltage drop measurements.
  • Tracing short circuits: Locates shorts across the entire vehicle length without sacrificing fuses during the search.
  • Current, voltage, and resistance measurement: Reads values through the test point for diagnosing wiring, power supplies, and components up to 200 kΩ.

Special Features and Capabilities

Beyond standard circuit testing, the PS100 offers several distinctive functions:

  • Built-in oscilloscope function: Displays visual signal patterns at the test point for analyzing waveforms from camshaft, crankshaft, and injector sensors.
  • Audio menu navigation: Allows users to navigate menus without looking at the screen once the tone coding is learned.
  • Work light for dark environments: Illuminates the measurement area via the integrated flashlight on the front of the device.
  • Resettable Overload Protection: Protects the device and vehicle components during short circuits and can be restored via the reset button without replacing fuses.

💡
Good to Know: When activating high-load components such as starter relays or cooling fans, always connect the additional ground cable directly to a clean ground point first. Insufficient ground contact will cause the overload protection to trigger prematurely, preventing the component from being activated.
