The difference between autothrusters and Long-Range Scanners is that Autothrusters are activated by the range of the attack, specifically the attack being range three. Which means the Inquisitor never activates it as his attacks are always treated as range 1.

Long-range scanners, on the other hand, are based on the physical range, not the range of the attack since they are not used during the attacking phase. Thus the Inquisitor's ability does not affect them.

Basically, the Inquisitors ability only affects range concerning whoever he is attacking. So when the Inquisitor is not attacking (e.g. the Action phase, when defending etc.) his ability is not in effect. I hope this helps :)
