- Explore the extraordinary capabilities of the Launch X431 Pro Elite Scanner in this in-depth review. Its bi directional with many maintenance functions. I test out the scanner on a Honda Civic and a Lexus. Its quick browser capabilities and extensive service functions make this scanner an excellent choice for car enthusiasts and professionals alike. Some of the resets are: Oil /SAS/EPB/TPMS Reset, Battery Matching, ABS Bleeding, IMMO Matching, Injector Coding, etc. The bi-directional controls vary per vehicle, but there are many.

Good job love you From Dino Mares Fontana CA
Thank you Dino and hope you are doing well, Snap On should be tomorrow !!
Came out at the perfect timing. I just bought this and the Thinktool Pros. I do not know which one to keep.
Really up to you, I haven't reviewed the Thinktool Pros.
@@GarageKing yeah for sure. Have you been able to active purge valves and vent valves with it? Or have you even tried?
@@shaunmaxwell2745 Haven't tested that yet, but if you are referring to EVAP purge valve I remember seeing that activation in the menu (for Honda) I didn't do it in the video as the camera would never be able to pick up the sound for that test as you can barely hear the valve when its tested.
Do you have to pay every year in order for this OBD reader to work ? If you dont pay does that still work ? Do you need to have internet to used it ? If you don't updates does that still work without updates ? Out from the box can you used it without wifi or internet ? Can this scan for Fuel Pressure ? And can this do compression test ?
Wow that's a lot fo questions, ok, I'll try to get them all. No you don't have to pay every year, it comes with 2 years. If you don't pay, it won't update but it will still work (eventually its going to get too behind and not be useful). You need Wifi for first set up and to active it, that is a must, after that you don't need wifi, but its a good idea to use wifi every so often as it will update for free during your two years. It can do static compression on some engines, but not all. For fuel pressure I'm not sure. I didn't look at the live data for fuel to see if it was reading pressure.
can you adjust idle rpm with that?
You can write so I'm sure you can although I have not tried it for adjusting the idle RPM. You could always reach out to Kingbolen who is a distributer on Amazon, provide your vin and ask them. They should know. Here is the link to their channel www.youtube.com/@kingbolen_official
@@GarageKing thanks
@@Dresgarage96 Hope that helps, these scanners really do A LOT
@@GarageKing thanks, im looking the best for my budget around $650, not only for clearing DTC, but also can do slide adjustment like idle, ignition Timing ect
@@Dresgarage96 Good call, I can tell you this one does a lot. Sometimes Kingbolen has sales and you can check out directly buying from them bit.ly/49HTdT1
Does that scanner work on Ram Trucks? i didn't notice it on the vehicles selection.
Yup it should, at the 1:59min mark Dodge is there. Hope you are having a good weekend my friend.
Its show the live data on injectors,with live corections?
Yes it should as long as the ECM will deliver that information. I found that it delivers different information for different manufacturers. This scanner does a lot.
Before using this machine does it need to be connected to wifi?, I’m in the UK and I have just bought one went to use it for the first time and it wouldn’t let me scan without wifi connection which is a pain cause I was away from the house
You can use it when you are not on WIFI, but for the first time you must use it on wifi to set it up. If you bought a used one you should be ok, unless the previous owner wiped the account information.
@@GarageKingjust to clarify, when setting the scanner up WiFi is needed but when working on a car all its features are available without being connected to WiFi , in other words the scanner works 100% offline?
@@harnas3848 It should work, but if it has not been updated for a while not all features are going to be available. Also I notice it likes to check wifi sometimes before you use it, it gets the machine info, and even if expired, no big deal, BUT (this is just what I think) it wants to go on wifi to make sure its not stolen. If it is then you can't use it if its taken off the Launch support, its the machine is legit then you can go off wifi and use it.
how is it using a global launch model versus buying a launch usa model like the torque or turbo? have you ran into anything odd? seems to really be the same. I talked to launch usa and they say to only buy a launch usa model. but looks like yours works the same.
So far so good, and I have used a few of them.
Do you know if this can do zero point calibration for Toyota's ?
Hey There, not sure about that one as I never tried it. I would assume it would as it does a lot. If you want to confirm you can click the link in the video description, and that will take you to the amazon link where I purchased the scanner and you can ask the question, they are pretty good at responding. They will want exact model and year.
no topology map?
No, you have to step up a bit for topology. the Pro 3s+ has it ua-cam.com/video/fQlVkOD-ZYI/v-deo.html
@@GarageKing actually im just watching these expensive scanners cause i cant afford one. i mean i know how to use it i just dont have one.
@@nattan3226 All good brother, the topology is nice, it makes things faster and kinda gives you an outline of your complete car. Plus it does make it easier to go into each module to diagnose. I do really like the topology.
@@GarageKing you can see all the modules how they are connected to each other. when i work on cars that requires an obd2 scanner i rent one for about 1k USD Thats about 5k in philippine peso. just scan, delete and relearn if it requires some learning after a new sensor is replaced.
@@nattan3226 Hi If you have to pay 1K USD to rent one you may as well buy one LOL, unless that was a typing error.
Is this Scanner has an ECM / PCM reset?
Yes, but the ECP / PCM reset varies between manufacturers.
@@GarageKingso it can only rewrite ecu vins on certain models?
@@LeonelPlancarte It may be able to do it on all models, I'm not sure, but when I go through it some of the functions vary for different manufacturers so I can't unequivocally say it can do it for all of them. If you have a specific model you could always reach out to Launch to verify. Most likely it can, but I can't confirm.
Not wireless 😢😢
This one is not
This one is, and is actually quite good ua-cam.com/video/zPWaPgTQVuI/v-deo.html
