1 / 7Autel PowerScan PS100 Automotive Circuit Tester
Tester: The Autel PowerScan PS100 is a corded automotive circuit probe that combines voltage, resistance, continuity, polarity and component-activation checks for electrical troubleshooting. Its listed 40-foot lead reach may help when working around larger vehicles, but the product details and feature claims disagree on voltage compatibility, dimensions and temperature limits.
At a glance
- The listing describes DC and AC voltage, resistance, continuity, polarity, relay, fuse and trailer-light checks.
- Feature claims include applying power or ground to test components and indicators for identifying poor ground connections.
- A built-in LED work light and an advertised 40-foot total cable reach are listed.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing is inconsistent on important specifications: its details give a 12-to-24-volt operating range, while a feature claims 6V–30V compatibility. It lists dimensions as 40 x 40 x 150 millimeters, while another specification gives 126 mm x 46.5 mm x 35 mm. The 257 °F upper temperature rating also differs from the claimed operating range of 0 to 60°C (32 to 140 F°). Confirm the configuration and applicable limits before relying on them.

Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Automotive technicians and experienced DIYers tracing wiring, checking grounds or testing vehicle electrical components.
- Buyers who want voltage, resistance and continuity checks alongside component activation in a corded probe.
Less suited to
- Anyone needing a standalone battery-powered meter, since the listed power configuration is corded.
- Buyers whose vehicle requires confirmed operation outside the listed 12-to-24-volt range without first resolving the conflicting compatibility claims.

Customer feedback describes the tester as useful for vehicle wiring troubleshooting and reports positive impressions of functionality, value and connectivity. That feedback is relevant to buyers seeking an all-in-one probe, but does not establish measurement accuracy or resolve the listing’s conflicting voltage specifications. The aggregate rating distribution is mostly five-star, with a smaller one-star share, so experiences are not uniformly positive.
Positive themes
- Customer feedback highlights functionality and usefulness for vehicle wiring troubleshooting.
- Value for money and connectivity are also mentioned positively in the supplied feedback.
