2.7. Model Specification: Choose 【Range Rover】 from the vehicle list and press ‘OK’.
2.8. Shift Testing: Select 【Upshift/Downshift】 and follow the on-screen prompts. Observe the Electronic Shift Status indicators:
- Inactive Status: ‘not active, Light Off, Shift Down’ indicates the system is initially inactive.
- Active Status (Shift Down): ‘Active, Light On, Shift Down’ is shown when activated; press ‘F1’ to Upshift.
- Active Status (Shift Up): ‘Active, Light On, Shift Up’ appears after upshifting; press ‘F2’ to Downshift. In this state, physical shift lever movement can also be tested.
2.9. Diagnostic Completion: Once testing is done, the process is complete.
3. Electrical Park Brake (EPB) System Testing
For effective EPB diagnostics:
3.1. Wiring Setup: Employ the original vehicle harness and wiring diagram to connect the ACT102 to the Electrical Park Brake system.

3.3. EPB Stabilization: Secure the Electrical Park Brake unit using a fixture to ensure stability during testing.
3.4. Power Requirements: Supply adequate power using a car battery or a 10A DC power supply to ensure proper EPB operation.
3.5. Device Initialization: Start the ACT102 and select the appropriate vehicle type to begin testing.
3.6. Activation Test: After successful activation, test the EPB release and engage functions by pressing or pulling the Electrical Park Brake button.
3.7. Test Conclusion: The EPB system test is now complete.
4. Instrument Cluster (IPC) Diagnostics
For testing Instrument Panels (IPC):
4.1. Connection: Link the ACT102 and the instrument cluster using the Multi Function Cable, following the provided wiring diagram.
4.2. Power Supply: Use a car battery or a 2A-3A DC power supply connected to the Main Cable DC Port to power both the instrument cluster and the device.
4.3. Start and Select: Power on the device and choose the relevant vehicle type to initiate the diagnostic process.
4.4. Illumination Check: Successful activation will result in the instrument cluster lighting up.
4.5. IPC Test Finished: The instrument cluster diagnostic test is complete.
5. Electronic Power Steering (EPS) System Analysis
To diagnose Electronic Steering (EPS) effectively:
5.1. Harness Usage: Utilize the vehicle’s original harness as per the wiring diagram for connection.
5.2. CAN Bus Identification: Use a multimeter to locate the CAN+ and CAN- terminals on the Electronic Steering module, typically within a 5-pin socket.
5.3. CAN Connection: Connect the ACT102’s CAN1H and CAN1L to the identified CAN+ and CAN- terminals of the EPS system.
5.4. Powering EPS: Ensure a robust power supply using a car battery or a 10A DC power supply, as EPS systems require significant current.
5.5. Initiate Test: Power on the device and select the correct vehicle type to start the EPS system test.
