Foreword
This manual explains M.U.T.-III: functions, operating procedures, and other related information.
By reading this manual you will obtain a basic understanding of M.U.T.-III and Vehicle
Communication Interface (hereafter abbreviated as V.C.I.) functions and methods of operation.
Because there are differences in M.U.T.-III methods of operation due to the vehicle electronic
control system, be sure to read this manual and Online Help prior to operation.
This manual was written based on the Dec. 2010 version of the M.U.T.-III system.
Please note that the information herein may not always agree with your version of the M.U.T.-III
system due to system specification changes and version upgrades.
Please take good care of this manual along with your M.U.T.-III product.

possibly starting a fire.
Warning
When the harness is connected to the V.C.I., be sure to check the top and bottom of the
connector and connect the harness perpendicularly to the connector of the V.C.I.
Connecting at an angle may result in bending of the pins of the connector.
Check for the secure connection of the harness before tightening of the screw locks.
• The bent pin may contact the connector case, thereby causing an electric short which
leads to damage to the V.C.I.
Please Note
Do not expose the PC or V.C.I. to direct sunlight or high temperatures, or leave the unit in
sun-heated cars. Such action may result in system failure.
Moving the PC and V.C.I. to a location with a very different temperature and humidity than that of
the previous location may result in external or internal condensation. Caution is required.
Protect the PC and V.C.I. from exposure to elements such as rain, dirt, dust, food and liquids.
Be careful when handling the PC and V.C.I. Dropping the units may result in damage.
Do not expose either unit to engine oil, gasoline, antifreeze or battery acid. Also, do not clean the
PC or V.C.I. case using solutions such as thinner or benzene. Doing so may result in deterioration
of the case surface.
Prior to connecting the M.U.T.-III main harness between the V.C.I. and vehicle, turn the IG switch
to OFF.
• Connecting the V.C.I. harness with the IG switch ON may damage the V.C.I. programming.
Use only the power AC adapter included with the PC (or approved replacement), power cigarette
plug, other probes, main harness and other cables.
• Use of unspecified parts may result in damage or malfunction due to excess voltage or
insufficient contact.
The LCD display of this unit turns off when the supplied voltage is less the DC 8V. This is not an
error.
The power supplied should be from 8VDC to 32VDC.
Keep all V.C.I. connectors and openings away from dirt and static electricity. Exposure to dirt and
static electricity may result in malfunction and damage.
• Be sure to follow all basic service work precautions when using M.U.T.-III during vehicle
inspection and service work.
• For detailed information regarding service work precautions, refer to the service instruction
manual of each vehicle.
Work Precautions
• When performing vehicle inspection work at the work site with the engine running, either use an
exhaust gas discharger or ventilate the area sufficiently.
• When working on a vehicle, be sure to apply the parking brake and set wheel chocks in place to
prevent the car from moving.
Driving Precautions
• If you wish to use M.U.T.-III while driving the target vehicle, first verify that all parts are properly
assembled.
• While driving, always have an assistant operate M.U.T.-III.
• Be sure that the M.U.T.-III main harness and other cables will not interfere with driving.
• Install and remove the PC and V.C.I. with the vehicle parked, IG switch OFF.
PC Usage Limitations
Do Not Install Software on the PC
• The M.U.T.-III PC is a special service tool. Do not install any software other than M.U.T.-III
software onto the unit. Installation of other software results in the risk of M.U.T.-III system
failure.
• Any unauthorized software will not be supported. Technical support for units with
unauthorized software will be charged additional technical support fees to return the unit to its
authorized state of operation.
• All unauthorized software will be erased with each new upgrade.

When you record with a manual trigger, connect the trigger
harness to the V.C.I. trigger terminal as necessary.
Note:
-When the USB cable is connected, the V.C.I.
communicates with the PC, thereby prohibiting drive
recorder startup. Do not connect the USB cable.

Note:
For details on how to measure calibration voltage,
refer to 11-3-1(1).
Note:
-The sampling interval time indicates the data-recording
interval for one item. A setting of “0 sec” (fastest) results in
the fastest sampling interval.
-Recordable time computes the number of the maximum
record points as 20000 points, and is displayed. This is the
prediction time on calculation and differs from actually
recordable time.
-The configuration of the displayed file names is DR+ Year
Month Day + Time (military time including seconds), using
the PC time.

equipped vehicle ,which is based on estimate power
consumption calculated by values such as current and
voltage to be used for vehicle control. Please handle it to
the end as a reference value because the charge

Appendix
<< Terminology >>
In alphabetical order
A
AMT: Abbreviation for Automated Manual Transmission Electronic Controlled Unit.
ASC: Abbreviation for Active Stability Control System.
C
CAN: Abbreviation for Controller Area Network. A system that shares data between ECUs through
communication. The processing of each command (signal) is possible using a communication line
only.
D
Data transmission: The transmission of data stored from one memory area to another memory
area. In the case of M.U.T.-III, this refers to the transmission of data from the V.C.I. memory area
to the PC.
Default: Initial setting. A predetermined value that is set when an item that should be defined is not
defined.
Diagnosis: Refers to the self-diagnosis function. A system in which the ECU installed in the
vehicle monitors input signals from the various sensors and switches and, when an error occurs or
erroneous information is identified, records the data in memory.
E
ECU: Abbreviation for Electronic Control Unit. The control unit of the electronic control system.
iIi
I/F cartridge: A cartridge used when the ECU communication method employed is a special
method or when M.U.T.-III functions have been expanded and support is not possible by the
M.U.T.-III unit alone. The various I/F cartridges, such as the cartridge for the SWS monitor set in
M.U.T.-II or the cartridge for DCC communication, can be used as is.
M
Memory card: A medium used to store data. Records data such as those used for ECU updates.
With M.U.T.-III, flash memory is employed which allows the user to electrically change the data as
well as maintain the information even if the power is turned off. Batteries are not required.
132
O
Online help: Also referred to as the online manual. An operation manual loaded on M.U.T.-III,
which gives easy-to-understand explanations on how to use the various functions. It also
provides processing methods related to the operation currently performed when the user is unsure
how to perform an operation during application use.
R
RAM: Abbreviation for Random Access Memory. A memory device that is capable of both read
and writes operations. The information stored in this device is lost when the power is turned off.
ROM: Abbreviation for Read Only Memory. A memory device that is capable of read operations
only. The information stored in this device is maintained even when the power is turned off.
S
Serial communication: A method in which the bits that make up digital data are transmitted in
series one bit at a time on the communication line. The reading of diagnostic code via
communication from the ECU using the M.U.T. is referred to as “Pattern Diagnosis.”
SWS: Abbreviation for Smart Wiring System. A system that centrally controls multiple electrical
signals on one harness, thereby minimizing the number of harnesses used. The SWS lead to the
development of the multiplex transmission system, making harness weight reduction and the
development of multifunctional electrical components possible.
V
V.C.I.: Abbreviation for Vehicle Communication Interface. The communication interface used to
connect the ECU mounted in the vehicle with a PC.
