Description

Product Overview
The LAUNCH X431 V+ is a professional, tablet‑style automotive diagnostic scanner designed for independent workshops, mobile technicians, and advanced users who need OE‑level, all‑system diagnostics on a wide range of vehicles. Built on an Android platform with a large high‑resolution touchscreen, the X431 V+ combines full‑system code reading, bi‑directional control, ECU coding, and dozens of service functions in one portable device. It supports passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and (with optional modules) heavy‑duty trucks from American, European, Asian, and Chinese manufacturers.

Key Features
- All‑system diagnostics: Reads and clears DTCs, displays live data, freeze‑frame data, and ECU information for all available control modules – Engine, Transmission, ABS, SRS/Airbag, Immobilizer, Body, Chassis, Infotainment, ADAS, Hybrid/EV systems, and more.
- Bi‑directional control (active tests): Sends commands to ECUs to activate components such as fans, pumps, injectors, windows, mirrors, lights, door locks, throttle, and more, enabling fast fault isolation without disassembly.
- ECU coding, matching, and adaptation: Supports online ECU coding, module replacement, VIN coding, component matching, and adaptation/relearn procedures on supported brands (function availability depends on manufacturer and software package).
- 37–55+ service functions: Comprehensive set of maintenance and calibration services including Oil Reset, EPB, SAS, TPMS, DPF/GPF regeneration, BMS registration, injector coding, throttle adaptation, ABS bleeding, suspension calibration, headlight (AFS) reset, AdBlue/SCR reset, transport mode, cruise control, start‑stop system, and many brand‑specific routines.
- Topology mapping (selected versions): Visualizes the vehicle's network structure and module connections, helping technicians quickly identify missing or faulty control units on supported models.
- Security gateway support: Works with FCA SGW and VAG SFD protected vehicles via software authorization (license may be required), allowing full diagnostics without external bypass hardware on many models.
- Wide vehicle coverage: Covers 99%+ of vehicles on the market from 1996 to 2024/2026, including 100+ brands and 10,000+ models from VW, BMW, Mercedes‑Benz, Audi, Ford, GM, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Renault, Peugeot, Fiat, Volvo, Jaguar, Land Rover, Tesla (optional), and many others. Also supports OBD‑I vehicles with appropriate adapters.
- J2534 & HD truck support (optional): With J2534 pass‑through and heavy‑duty modules, the X431 V+ can be used for advanced programming and diagnostics on selected 12–24 V trucks, buses, and construction machinery.
- Wi‑Fi updates & remote diagnosis: Regular online software updates keep vehicle databases current; remote diagnosis function allows experts to connect and assist in real time.

- Fleet maintenance operations for cars, vans, and (with HD module) trucks and buses.
- Training centers and technical schools requiring a professional, up‑to‑date diagnostic platform.

Package Contents (typical)
- LAUNCH X431 V+ tablet scanner
- DBScar OBDII diagnostic connector (Bluetooth/Wi‑Fi version depending on model)
- USB cable and power adapter

Notes
- The X431 V+ name covers several hardware and software generations (V+, V+ 5.0, PRO3, PRO3S, PROS V+, etc.). Core diagnostic philosophy is similar, but screen size, processor, memory, number of service functions, and update terms differ between versions.
- Some advanced features (ECU coding, topology mapping, FCA SGW / VAG SFD access, HD truck software, certain brand packages) may require additional licenses, subscriptions, or optional hardware adapters.
- Heavy‑duty truck diagnostics (24 V, full truck systems) are handled by dedicated HD software packages and adapter sets, sold separately from the base passenger‑car configuration.
