I like the GT100+ but from what I have seen, the included A/C adapter does not provide full battery voltage. It provides 11.9V to 11.8V which is low if you are programming some module that require close to 13V. Have you experienced that? Or should I purchase the older GT100 model which does not have this issue. By the way.... I'm loving the GT101 I got thanks to your review.
Hi Next Level Auto Diagnostics! ahh good question, I have not tested the GT100 but It's very likely it shares the same AC adapter with the GT100+ (it's cheaper to share components across models) what you probably saw was an adapter that was on the high side of the design tolerances (typically I see +/- 5-10% in the industry) assuming it's 5%, voltage can be as low as 11.4 and as high as 12.6 and the AC adapter will pass QA inspection. The AC adapter included on the GT100+ is model number 12200 if it helps. But yeah here is my follow up video where I cover why in some cases it makes sense to use a regulated power supply instead of the included adapter (both for voltage requirements but also to control amperage) ua-cam.com/video/8uGh7vAR1AM/v-deo.html Hope this helps, Cheers Bud!
@@NextLevelAutoDiagnostics Awesome, glad to hear it helped! and yeah man it's good to hear your GT101 is working great, I never realized how much uses I had for a probe until I got it!
Hi Adrian! I'm assuming you are referring to the flying wires (in different colors). As shown on the video those are used to interface to the ECM, here is my follow up video so you can see how that works ua-cam.com/video/8uGh7vAR1AM/v-deo.html Cheers!
Hi Kampy! Yes this is a breakout box. As explained in the video, it can be used in many ways, it can be used to check for OBD2 port functionality, to check for communication, to protect a scanner from a suspected defective OBD2 port, it can be used to access each OBD2 pin individually, to check for current draw, to check for correct voltage, to bring the OBD2 port closer to a scan tool by acting as an extension cable, to power an ECU outside a vehicle, to access the IMMO function in some vehicles and more (just really depends on the skill of the mechanic using it). And yes, you could also connect a scanner to the box pass thru cable to check for DTC's or to access other advanced functions your vehicle may support (assuming your scanner also supports it) and for programming. Cheers!
I had it hooked up without an obd scan tool and was trying to see the can buss signals with a scope but there was nothing there and the LEDs were not blinking.

Hi thanks for the video.I wanted to learn how to use BOBs. I found the video good. If the immo feature of the GT105 is taken off how different are the GT100+ and GT105?
Hi PartOEMS! Ah good question here is the full review of the GT105 ua-cam.com/video/9qQQ7rEeHUc/v-deo.html The GT105 is a low cost IMMO access tool with a couple of additional features. The GT100+ is a full breakout box so it's a different product all together. Here is more in depth video where I show how to use the GT100+ ua-cam.com/video/8uGh7vAR1AM/v-deo.html Now at one point they had planned to introduce an Add On harness for the GT105 to add breakout box capabilities but I think the expected cost of the harness plus the GT105 just brought the product too close if not same as the cost of the GT100+ so it didn't make much sense to continue developing the Add On (again this is just my opinion, not sure what GoDiag decided internally) Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@partoems9376 You're welcome! The GT100+ has the Amp Meter and the GT100 does not, I put links to both in the video description. Hope this helps, Cheers!
I bought one of these...my issue is if connecting the scan tool the other end of cable it's very causing no communication with scan tool..it's very very loose...do you have any countermeasures on it...thanks
Hi Nestor! That is strange, mine has a tight fit, but then again OBD2 connectors do have tolerances so it's possible the OBD2 connector on the OBD2 scan tool is on the larger end of the dimensional tolerance making it feel loose (I also review OBD2 tools and this is something that I always noticed how each tool feels either looser or tighter when connected to the car's OBD2 port) It's also possible the OBD2 connector on the OBD2 tool may be wearing out (the do wear from use since they are just plastic) leading to the connector feeling loose when mated to an OBD2 port. Cheers!
I am after in a tool like this one, but I want to connect modules on the 24v levels, for trucks. What if feed this tool with 24v in the 12v voltage input? I was told that the tool with be OK with that. Is it true? This is the only doubt keeping me away for grabbing my hands on it. Thanks in advanced.

Hi D! This system is meant to power an ECU / PCM, while it may be possible to power a TCM, it may not be possible to communicate directly to it unless tapping the individual pins on the TCM (since ECU PCMs have OBD communications and TCMs likely talk thru the ECU PCM for OBD). I would imagine daisy chaining the matching ECU to TCM would likely be the easiest way to interface to it but I personally have not tried it. Cheers!
