SERVICEABILITY AND RELIABILITY
MUT-III (Multi Use Tester-III)
Comprehensive improvements have been made to
the MUT-II, a tester for diagnosing problems with the
electronic control system. For easier servicing, the
newly developed MUT-III has greatly improved func-
tions and is much easier to use. The MUT-III
expands the functions of the MUT-II in the following
ways:
1. Interactive Error Diagnosis
• In response to the nature of the problem, the
corresponding troubleshooting page from the
maintenance manual is retrieved.
• Service data is displayed, and from the actua-
tor test screen, the page of the maintenance
manual is retrieved for a list of inspection ref-
erence values.

GENERAL
MAIN DETAIL
Application of recycled polypropylene material that
contains recycled paper makes effective use of
resources and reduces weight.
Use of a thermoplastic elastomer olefin material makes
recycling easier.
No lead compounds.
No lead used as a lubricant.
Lead-free compound used.
No lead-tin alloy coating.
The metal reduces sheet thickness, which reduces the
crevice volume of the combustion chamber and
decreases the production of unburned hydrocarbons
(HC).
Use of carbon fiber reduces weight by 35 percent and
increases strength, so the spoiler is thinner and
aerodynamics are improved.
Weight is reduced by 10 percent.
Change to aluminum reduces weight by 55 percent.
2. Service Manual Viewer
• The new model guide and maintenance man-
ual can be displayed on a PC monitor.
ENHANCED DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
Diagnosis functions have been included for the fol-
lowing systems, so that it is possible to use the scan
tool to read the diagnosis codes and service data
and to carry out actuator tests. It is also possible to
read the diagnosis codes by the flashing of the warn-
ing light in some systems.
