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.
EPS: Abbreviation for Electric Power Steering
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.
