I shall incorporate one of these types of Pro Level heavy duty scan tools to my "due diligence" process (i.e., Dyno Test, Fluids Analysis, Maintenance Report, VIN search, Compression Test, DOT Inspection, Chassis Inspection, etc.) for purchasing and maintaining the maintenance of semi-trucks (i.e., Freightliner, Volvo, Peterbuilt, Kenworth, International, etc.).
Great tool for high maintenance "minded" Fleet Owners and Owner Operators!
Great mention of the scan tool not being able to identify (exactly) which cylinder is misfiring (for V10s)...HUGE!
I just got my X-431 V+ scan tool today partly because of this video, part research, and partly because a friend has a Matco scanner, broke the screen, he took it apart, searched the number on the back of the screen, it popped up as a Launch part.
He also bought a bigger hard drive to upgrade it also made by Launch.
Launch makes at least one Matco scanner and it's not a cheap one, he has $8,000.00 invested in it.
Hallo, did you order yours through the link provided by this video? And was it the USA version from launch USA? Did the link direct you to Amazon? Would really appreciate your feed back. Thank you God bless
Launch isn't a product from the USA, it's made in China but pretty good in action..
Nice..they give you free scan tools to review on your channel with the hopes to get sales off of it and I didn’t see one response to any questions that were asked. I never asked my question since none were being answered. 🤷♂️ keep up the great work.
so true, I was going to ask a question too but didn't waist my time since not one of these have a response.
I found your review very informative. I have looked at several scan tool for what i need to do and i find this one may soot my need very well. Thank you for the review as i said it was very informative and helpful.
Hi Chucke lol, I miss that guys welding videos, his was my favorite welding channel
thanks for that info. I just bought this model and cant wait to try it out.
From a professional mechanic to another , what we actually need that snapon and basically every other bidirectional scanner can't do , and what I want in a scan tool is the ability to install a used pcm, ecm ,abk, airbag module and be able to rewrite the vin from a used module are these able to do that if so I will buy it right now this second oh and vin rewrite in dodge ficm modules and for me mainly interested in ford and Chrysler????
You can do it with the Ford IDS scanner. Your not supposed to be able to but you can if you know how to fool it into think the pcm is “blank”. Don’t know about Chrysler
I keep hearing horror stories of not being able to update the launch scanner dur to being a Chinese version over the USA version. I'm really wanting one but I'm not gonna invest the money if it's not going to be able to update after the 1 year
Thanks a lot for the information it was a great video you explained everything just right I just sent for one and I'm glad I watch your video
Hi, I am buying this scan tool. I need to work out what’s wrong with the folding roof on my F-Type Jaguar. Hopefully I can reset the modules.
Do you know if this can reprogram the ECM
The only issue I see with these is they are not supported by Launch Tech USA. The ones sold on Amazon are one from China. Have you had any issues with dealing the Chinese suppliers?
Hey could you look into another scanner this one does heavy trucks John deer cat its calledFCAR F7SG cummins even dose cars and pickups vary interested in this scanner
Ibot one last November x-431v+ after your in putand outher reviews and I hav been happy with it till now . the tablet dosen't have enough memory to take up grades ihave done 1 up grade and out of room can you delete the memory and reload the new program I took it apart and found a sd slot so you use that to get moe space you have had yous longe so I assume you have see this problem. Do you have any outher solution's thanks if you can give any info
Does it have the ability to shut off individual fuel injectors?
Hey, Steph seams to be difficult to find a launch USA scanner most are China versions where people bought through Amazon even when stated ( sold by launch direct ) witch folks are having tech support issues and no luck on English support and if any device issues would have to deal with launch China and absolutely no launch USA support. my question is if I order mine though your provided link witch directs me to Amazon will it be a USA version? Witch I won't have tech support issues like the Chinese version? Thank you God bless.
Great video. Does this cover both late & early model vehicles as well. Like 2019 and back to OBD1? Thanks.
I just checked a 1992 Chevy C3500 today.
It didn't auto recognize the VIN, I had to try a few different ways but I finally got it and found out that the truck is in open loop all the time.
O2 sensor bad.
1SixpenceFan Excellent, thanks for the word
Yes, it will connect to OBD1 as well...
Great video Stephen, do you know how the launch v-431 v pro matches up against the v-431 v+? Do you know if the v-431 v pro will program modules like the one your demonstrated?
my problem is my car is a 2020, and nobody has any database on it yet... maybe the $4500 Snap-On, but I am not able to get one of those.
What do you think of the ZurickPro Scanner
Stephen I'm looking into these and am told that the alot of these scanner that claim to be launch arent. If you go to Launch tech USA website. I dont see a scanner that looks like the one your showing. If rather not buy a knock off but also dont wanna have to pay tool truck prices. Im a bit confused on what's what. If this works and updates I guess it doesnt matter tbh I just dont wanna drop a grand on something and its a Chinese knock off that I cant call Launch with any problems
If you go to Launch Tech USA website, it's actually in Ontario Canada... And ALL Launch products are manufactured in China! Unfortunately, the United States is now a consumer nation... Sad as it is, we manufacture very little in this country anymore!
Beautiful !!!
Hey Stephen great video very informative!! I noticed that you did not talk about any lab scope features do you know if there is a extra thing you can buy so you can use this scanner to scope things out? I am looking for a good bi-directional scan tool that has scoping abilities if you could point me in the right direction that would be great.
Yes, Launch sells a video scope that connects to the X431 scanner, sold separately of course...
Can porsche cayenne rear bcm be coded with this tool?
Awesome tool, how do you find the v10 on a service truck? I’m on the fence about buying one with a crane and 11 foot box... I’ve got a 5.4 and it’s been great but I’m running out of room...
Hey bud is that prom code still legit. Tried using it and no good.
I need to perform a crank relearn on a 96 chevy truck. Which scanner can do it?
So i want to get x431v and i want to know if after 2 years i need to get new subscrition to use intelligent diagnose or local diagnoze if you can help me pls?
Is this a good scan tool for older cats 2000 -2011
Cars
I hate mine! It does nothing well. i have a $20 launch scanner that i use way more! customer service won't even issue a refund.
Can it program a used instrument cluster on a 2011 Buick lacrosse that's was just installed.
Hi, can You program ECU/PCM's and Key with this tool?
Probably, If you want tool exclusively for Ford a HS/MS ELM327 OBD (Bluetooth or Wired) is a great cheap alternative with Forscan Software.
*Don't buy cheap knock offs Look for OBD LINK or similar quality companies.
To connect to the OEM website and buy a 3 day subscription for downloads. The tool needed is a "Flash Reprogrammer." With other software, it is possible to read and alter the program. But a flash reprogrammer box plugged into a computer is required.
Will this tool allow turning off the AFM / DOD systems on GM vehicles? My 07 has this feature on a 5.3 and they are prone to problems.
You can send your pcm off to lt1swap.com and he will. Use hptuners to deactivate it. I recommend the afm delete kit as well
Looking at the x431 pro and the x431 upgraded version. Can you tell me what the difference is between them. Have heard some horror stories on buying these from Amazon .
Function is same if you only works on light cars.
V+ come with extra heavy truck software but more expensive
Can the X431-V code in a USED JDM ECM to a car?
Do you have to pay yearly for anything. Updates, software, etc.
You get 2 free years of updates then it's $400 per year.
What’s the website.
How do I get a subscription for online programming on my x431 v + please?
Can you prime the fuel pump with these?
I mean the fuel filter after you service a diesel. Thanks in advance
Why don't you just fill the filter before you put it on
@@GameCastCubed you cant do that on every car...
@@19NinetyUK I didn't know I was just asking used to doing it on tractors
@@GameCastCubed fair, some bmws require a fuel system bleed via diagnostics. If air gets in the system it can damage parts apparently.
You should answer people questions there intrested in this tòol. If you don't answer questions there not going to buy it peace my friend
Wackey Dackey You literally stole my words ,He doesnt give a rat's a??
I've been looking at a decent scan tool, pawn got a snap on for a 1000 but needs upgraded think this one would suit me for my need just fine or is the snap on worth the extra $
Well how old is the Snap on, may that Launch is better.
The mini can reset the throttle body
Yes,you can
I have a F350 Powerstroke 6.0. What scan tool would you recommend?
The Reedy Chronicles A 5 lb hammer.
@@rickmeadows686 pls add decoda to the list
Can the V+ read and re-write the vin on an ECM?
Yes
I ordered launch x431 v8 what is the difference of x431 v8 and x431v+? Thankyou
I'm pretty sure the "8" is in reference to the tablet screen size... 8" screen!
I have a 2006 F650 with a 5.9 cummins and will this scanner work thanks
9500 GVW's may require the "heavy duty" box. To run between the OBD port and the Launch X431 V+, and some other scan tool models.
My wife's 2018 Ram 2500 6.7 with a 10,000# GVW. Does, work just as well as my 2020 Dodge Durango, and my 2016 Ram 1500.
---- using this Launch X431?
good job
EXCELLENT
Already great content
Is chunky ever gonna come back to TH-cam?
Yeah, 400.00 more than the other one.
Autel or launch
wont break the bank? it's $1200....
Or it could be a $15,000 snap on, Lol. Compared to snap on the launch wont brake the bank.
Can you reprogram a power electronic steering on a chevy cruze 2013? my steering wheel go solid when it turns hot when driven for a while! Code B101E, C0454, U0121. Any suggestions?
Am Not a mechanic, would assemble it myself
And see if i can reprogramming it. It cost $5,000 at chevy dealer to fix my problem, and $1,075 the rack and pinion with module. (Eyes) (saving me some money) TH-cam videos helps for beginners 👍.
Bro can i just buy a use old.one from you . cant pay 1250 for that
Sorry, but I learned more about Ford trucks than I did the scan tool.
This is bogus... I won't touch it. It's a no support type deal. Stay clear.
Don’t believe anything comes out of this guy‘s mouth he’s a good sales person that’s it this unit does not do programming or re-programming or coding don’t buy it
