Launch X431 V+ Function List

Full-System Diagnoses

The X431 V+ diagnostic scanner enables full control unit scanning for numerous vehicles, including systems such as engine, ABS, SAS, Transmission, Fuel System, Emission System, Body, and more. This eliminates the need for additional diagnostic tools, saving time and money in the long term. It automatically identifies the VIN upon vehicle connection for intelligent diagnosis, reads all OBD types across full systems, displays and records live data PIDs in graphical and textual formats, and supports bi-directional controls, actuation tests, and all standard diagnostic functions.

Active Test & ECU Coding

Active Test

The LAUNCH X431 V+ supports active testing (bi-directional control), allowing you to request information or command a module to perform specific tests and functions. For example, under OBD II generic Mode 1, you can request data from the powertrain control module (PCM), which then sends the information back to the scan tool for display. The X431 V+ can also actuate relays, injectors, coils, and perform various system tests.

ECU Coding

Every automobile actuator has a unique record code stored in the ECU, which the vehicle computer uses to activate components. The LAUNCH X431 V+ includes advanced ECU coding functionality to address the following scenarios:

• After replacing faulty actuators or certain parts, use this function to generate a new code so the ECU recognizes the new components.
• Modify ECU codes to enhance vehicle performance or enable premium features.
• Ensure multiple vehicle systems recognize each other so actuators operate correctly.

20 Commonly-Used Service Functions

• OIL RESET – Resets oil life systems after oil and filter changes.
• INJECTOR – Programs new injector codes when replacing injectors.
• BRAKE RESET – Deactivates and reactivates brake control systems, assists with brake fluid management, and operates brake pads.
• SAS RESET – Calibrates steering angle sensors and clears stored records.
• BAT.RESET – Evaluates battery charge state, monitors closed-circuit current, and registers battery replacements.
• BLEEDING – Performs ABS bleeding to remove air and restore brake sensitivity.
• ELEC. THROTTLE RLRN – Initializes throttle actuators to reset ECU-learned values to default.
• TPMS RESET – Resets tire pressure monitoring systems after maintenance.
• DPF REG – Clears particulate matter from the DPF filter via continuous combustion oxidation to maintain performance.
• GEAR LEARN – Performs gear learning after replacing the engine ECU, crankshaft position sensor, or flywheel.
• KEY PROGRAMMING – Enables ECU recognition of new keys during key addition.
• ABS / SRS / Transmission / engine Reset
• AFS / EGR / GEARBOX / SUSPENSION / SUNROOF Reset

Launch X431 V+ Vehicle Coverage

The Launch X431 V+ scan tool diagnoses electronic control systems across a wide range of vehicle models from Asian, European, American, and Chinese manufacturers—covering over 108 car brands and more than 10,000 car models.

Launch X431 V+ Reviews

1. Great control of vehicle diagnostics. A little more startup instruction for non-experts would help. Limiting initial vehicle coverage to major North American brands—with an option to expand—could lower the entry cost and make this scanner more approachable.

2. I searched for an OE-level scan tool for my father’s automotive shop in Mexico. After extensive research, I found many tools with OE-level diagnostics, but I needed one that worked on both U.S. and Latin American vehicles, which often differ in model offerings. While most scanners read DTCs, perform scans, and graph data, the Launch X431 Pro 3 V2.0 offered broader coverage across 100+ makes and models, plus support for transmissions, ABS, SRS, body control modules, suspension, infotainment, TPMS, key programming, and more—all in one tool. Its multi-language support and international functionality made it ideal for our needs in Mexico.

3. Got this unit and so far it’s met expectations. Replaced an Autel MaxiSys 908P because its update cost was nearly the price of this scanner. Found a special deal under $1000.

Launch X431 V+ FAQs

Q1: What is the difference between Launch X431 V and Launch X431 V+?

A1: The differences are as follows:

1. The LAUNCH X431 V+ has a larger 10.1-inch screen compared to the V’s 8 inches. One screen can display 15 data streams (graphical and textual)—three more than the V—for easier navigation.
2. The V+ offers 1.6 times longer battery life than the V, reducing the need for frequent charging.
3. The V+ includes more diagnostic cables than the V, resulting in broader vehicle compatibility.
4. The V+ is compatible with LAUNCH X431 heavy-duty modules (sold separately), transforming it into a diesel-integrated diagnostic device with enhanced capabilities. The V does not support heavy-duty modules.

Q2: Does this tool offer supercar diagnostics for Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini? Can it handle clutch PID, service reset, etc.?

A2: This tool supports diagnostics for Ferrari and Maserati, but not Lamborghini. It performs not only basic functions like clutch PID and service reset on Ferrari and Maserati, but also advanced services including battery reset, brake reset, oil reset, ABS bleeding, throttle adaptation, TPMS reset, DPF regeneration, gear learning, and IMMO functions.

Q3: Will this scanner work on a FORD 7.3L diesel motor?

A3: “I have the X431 V+ with the heavy-duty module and use it on FORDs with Cummins engines. I can use it on the 7.3L—but note, I have the X431 V+ with the heavy-duty add-on. For me, the extra cost for the heavy-duty capability was worth it.”
