An automatic control system for vehicle off-line double-idling discharging detection is provided. The automatic control system improves production efficiency, meets requirements for tatk time, reduces labor strength, does not need a rotating speed sensor, and is accurate in detection. The automatic control system comprises an industrial personal computer, a scanning gun, a server end computer, a discharging analyzer and a vehicle communication transit system (VCI). The VCI comprises a main control module, a K interface circuit, a controller area network (CAN) interface circuit and a power module. The power module supplies power to the main control module connected with the industrial personal computer through a universal series bus (USB) interface, the main control module is connected with the K interface circuit and the CAN interface circuit through a serial communication interface (SCI) interface and a CAN interface, the K interface circuit and the CAN interface circuit are both connected with an in-vehicle network through diagnosis wires, the in-vehicle network is connected with an electric control module (ECU) of an engine through a communication bus, the engine is connected with the discharging analyzer connected with the industrial personal computer, the scanning gun is connected to the industrial personal computer, and the server end computer is connected with the industrial personal computer and a management end computer. The invention further provides a detecting method.
