In accordance with releasing new products that introduce CAN communications systems, MMC has developed the MUT-III as a next generation diagnosis tester for servicing brand new and future vehicles. A personal computer is connected to the MUT-III unit and used as a system’s control terminal, and communicates with a vehicle ECU by the VCI.

In addition to being able to handle all diagnosis functions covered by the conventional MUT-II tester, the MUT-III system can display data as user friendly diagrams and graphs on a large screen of the personal computer. Unlike the MUT-II, the MUT-III can retain data on all vehicles, from old to brand new models, classified according to destination in the PC’s hard disk. This eliminates the awkward but essential job with the MUT-II, of switching the data list (communications protocol data and diagnosis item list database) by replacing the ROM pack with another according to the car model and year model.

New functions that make use of the advantages of the PC are also being developed. As an example, the workshop manual viewer is a useful function for mechanics as they no longer have to carry around a thick manual and search for relevant pages while working on a vehicle. The workshop manual viewer is currently available for certain car models, and allows users to retrieve the pages containing the failure code for a particular problem at the push of a button.

MUT-3 PC software application interface compatible with these languages : English, Czech, French, German, Greek, Italian, Spanish, Turkish.
