Got a baby launch for my boys Yamaha motorbike, bike shop told me wouldn't work on his bike ,well it does , light of ,fault clear no return. Thanks for showing
It is quite simple. The reason you have the choice of scanning individual ECAs is, because if you know that you have a fault with the IBS, you just scan the ABS system or a fault with the gearbox you just scan the fault with the gearbox if you put in the health report, then it will take longer for it to scan the whole system just to save time really, and the Autel should have health report feature on it as well to scan the whole system
That lil launch x431 is a beast for the money I haven't seen anything better than that I actually own one....trust me when I say autel is very good tool but you will have to pay around 900 to 1200 £££ to be able to do the same what launch x431 pro elite....the only thing I haven't tried out on it is xprog3 programmer....would like to see how it's works with it....if you have a chance definitely put it out
How to check chain stretch on the launch ? thank you Good scanner for porsche as well fuel priming brakes adjust etc etc but has taken me a while to navigate. Some more intruction videos are needed IMO. Had to buy the I-tpms tool to do sensors another $140. took me a while to figure out. my first scanner. so far its been worth it. buy direct from launch its cheaper an they ship fast.
Great video. Can you calibrate / carry out adaptations to replacement sensors. For example, if a DPF pressure sensor is replaced can the new sensor be calibrated. Thanks
The thing I hate about all the types of scanners, is all the different years and models. The only reason I haven’t bought one is because I don’t want to buy last years version
Thank you for this video. It has helped narrow down my search for an upgrade to my VGate OBDII code reader. Could you confirm that the X431 Pro Elite covers the Range Rover Evoque 2012 model please and what bidirectional facilities are there for the Evoque? Does it cover the SRS module. How comprehensive is the SRS module, as there are a number of airbags. Do you have to rely on an internet connection for DTC code descriptions, or is it built in, as in my existing code reader?
The 3 different scan types are not the same...for example system scan will scan and tell you what modules are ur car equipped...scan health report diagnostic
GOOD VIDEO THANKS FOR SHARING THAT INFORMATION VERY WELL EXPLAINED I HAD A BRAN NEW AUTELL DIAGNOSTIC MAXI SCAN OFF EBAY AND IT WOULD NOT CONNECT TO MY FORD FOCUS MK3 DOES THIS HAVE TOPOLOGY MAPPING 😊
Im not big into Lauch, but I did what I though was a brake reset, now have no hand brake and dash says in Brake test rig mode, can't seem to find away out of it, can you help please?
hi there, what car do you have? on Mercedes you can try this: 1. Vehicle stationary, steering centered, foot off brake, engine running, flat ground, open area about 100' or more across. 2. Press ESP Off; ESP warning light will begin flashing. When it goes solid, proceed. 3. Press brake pedal 4. Shift into D 5. Release brake 6. Begin driving 10-15 mph, steering > 90 deg, < 180 deg. You have to execute about a half turn. 7. When ESP light begins flashing, brake to a stop. 8. Shift to N 9. Release brake
@@GrooveOn A Mercedes V Class, The parking brake pull switch is not working at all, I'm getting a orange brake light on in the dash constant, and then in the centre its say Brake test Rig to Brake !
Hi there, I'm looking to fix throttle delay for my mercedes w204. Read in forums all I have to do is to Increase the Pedal Curve from KLD1 to KLD 4. Do you think the x431 can do it? Or will I have to take the xentry route?
Good day mate. I'm looking to buy a used car in Europe. The problem is that most cars there have fake mileage. I don't know which car yet. If you can tell me which scanner ( which can I buy In Australia ) , can read the right mileage from the largest number of the cars. Thanks.
Whilst functional comparison is great, the comparison nevertheless should be all encompassing and include the initial capital cost as well as recurring licence renewal costs. Surely, only then can you judge what you should buy and can afford long term!
Just came here from some other video, showing key programming for a Toyota with this exact X431. So it looks like it works. It looked pretty easy too. I’m sure you can search for it easily here on RUclips, you can see for yourself.
Yes, it depends on the car make, for example Mercedes you wont be able to, but other cars you can programme keys. Some cars use a code that came with car such as Fiat .
I've got one, finding it's not great. Have of the features are not compatible when you come to use them. I've had basic obd2 scanners with more functionality
Did you identify what the difference is between the X431 PROS and X431 PRO versions? As far as I can see the PROS doesn't have the Grey and Red plastic bezel , just Red, but are there any functional differences?
hi there, I use Garmin Dash cams, they are excellent, very reliable and small. It has speed camera alert, wi-fi to send video to your phone etc., voice control too. The model is Garmin 65W
Does your SL350 have Active Body Control? not sure. My Sl500 does, and I'm looking to see if the wheel lift cylinders(Ride height) can be manually set. Also if the 'Rodeo' function can be engaged. Many thanks . great vid

Very good video information. I wish to get the Launch X431 Pro Elite
HI ,Ydidnt show us how you got to the data stream ? I am haveing trouble finding the function.
i just got a autel i had one before a older one i find that autel you can do more programming wise never really got into the others :)

Can it set injector trim codes and also set cruise control activation etc on Citroens?

I have a launch now ...used to have a autel.
Nigth and day diference for the best.
Easy and very intuitive
launch is better for you?
It would be interesting to see what the launch can do with the BCM electrical as I have BCM problem with my Range Rover.
Good point
What will be the cost in three years to stay current?

the Maxicom is a little cheaper and importantly allows you to connect to multiple cars.

thats a fair point , the unit will still work without the subscription, but it will not be up to date.

Keys programming ? any of then can do ???
