1 / 7Autel PowerScan PS100 NEW Automotive Circuit Probe Tester
The Autel PowerScan PS100 NEW is a corded automotive circuit probe tester listing voltage, polarity, continuity and component-activation functions. Its stated cable reach conflicts across the listing, so confirm the exact cable configuration before buying.
At a glance
- Listing describes voltage and polarity, continuity, signal and circuit testing, component activation, ground checks and short-circuit location.
- Four described modes include DC voltage, AC voltage, resistance and tone on/off.
- A built-in light and LED indicators are listed for visibility and circuit-status feedback.
- The listing describes a 20-foot tool cable plus a 20-foot extension for vehicle and trailer wiring work.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Combines several circuit checks and component activation in one probe tool, which may reduce tool changes during automotive electrical diagnosis.
- A claimed 40-foot cable arrangement can help reach wiring on longer vehicles and trailers.
- Customer feedback reports ease of use and help finding electrical problems, relevant to DIY users who want guided checks.
Cons
- The stated 1.28 kg listed weight may be a consideration for buyers prioritizing a light handheld tester.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent: the title and feature copy claim a 40FT cable, while the package-details field lists a 20ft cable. It also describes the display as a 160x128 TFT LCD while the technical details separately list LCD. Confirm the selected listing's cable and display configuration before purchase. The claimed 6-30V system range and the 12-24V wording in the item highlight are also inconsistent, so check compatibility with the intended vehicle.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Automotive DIY users diagnosing wiring, polarity, continuity or ground issues on compatible vehicle circuits.
- Technicians who want a probe-style tool with voltage, resistance, signal and component-activation functions.
- Buyers working on trailer or longer-vehicle wiring who have confirmed the cable bundle and system-voltage compatibility.
Less suited to
- Buyers needing a confirmed cable length or package configuration without first checking the selected listing.
- Users seeking a tester for systems outside the claimed vehicle-voltage range.

Customer feedback describes the tester as useful and easy to use, with reported benefits in finding electrical problems and having cable options. These perceptions suit the listed probe-based circuit checks, though they do not settle the listing's conflicting cable length or vehicle-voltage claims. Aggregate ratings are mostly five-star, but ratings alone do not establish accuracy or explain less-positive experiences.
Positive themes
- Customer feedback describes the tool as useful and easy to use.
- Feedback reports that it can help users locate problems and avoid guesswork.
