The internal software of the Midtronics Battery Tester can now be periodically updated to
support future models. New updates will include new battery warranty codes and testing
information.
The Technical Information System (TIS) will be the primary distribution method for battery
tester software updates. Utilizing the new Midtronics Update Wizard (MUW) and the new
essential SST (Midtronics Battery Tester Adapter), you will be able to quickly and easily
update your Midtronics Battery Tester.
This bulletin will show you how to use and install the Midtronics Update Wizard to update
the Midtronics tester software.
All models and model years through current.

The Midtronics Battery Tester Software Update is a 2-step process:
1. Installing the Midtronics Update Wizard (MUW).
The Midtronics Update Wizard (MUW) is an application that only needs to be installed
on the PC one time. This bulletin will provide the steps to install the MUW.
2. Using the Midtronics Update Wizard (MUW).
The Midtronics Update Wizard (MUW) will be used with each battery tester software
update. The Update Wizard will walk you through each step to connect the PC to the
tester and perform the update.

the SRS spiral cable may be broken.
Therefore, as a precaution, make sure to pass
the driver's seat belt through the steering wheel to prevent it from turning freely, as
shown below.
After working on SRS/Steering components, always check the operation of the SRS
Warning Light. Refer to the appropriate repair manual if any diagnostic trouble codes
are recorded.

Some vehicles equipped with 1MZ±FE (V6) engines without VVTi may exhibit a rough
idle and/or a M.I.L. ªONº condition with a diagnostic trouble code or codes for misfire
caused by an improperly operating ignition coil assembly. Production changes have been
implemented to prevent this condition from occuring.

1. Confirm if vehicle is currently misfiring, running rough or hesitating.
If YES ± Go to Step 2.
If NO ± Review Freeze Frame Data and attempt to operate vehicle under similar
driving conditions ± see notes below for information that makes it more likely to
duplicate misfire.
NOTE:
The following activities will turn off misfire detection:
Changing engine RPM greater than 150 RPM.
Changing throttle position quickly.
Misfire duplication can be duplicated most readily when the engine speed and throttle
angle are held nearly constant for at least 2 minutes.

Misfire on #4 Cylinder
Is the cylinder(s) identified by the DTC(s) misfiring?
If YES ± Go to Step 3.
If NO ± Follow normal diagnostics for applicable DTC in Technical Information System
(TIS) in applicable Repair Manual:
Diagnostics: SFI: P030#.
3. Swap suspect ignition coil(s) from cylinder that is misfiring to cylinder that is
not misfiring.
4. Using Diagnostic Tester, confirm that misfire is now occurring in cylinder that has
suspect ignition coil(s). Has misfire followed swapped ignition coil(s)?
If YES ± Replace ignition coil(s) and go to Step 5.
If NO ± Follow normal diagnostics in Technical Information System (TIS) for
applicable Repair Manual:
Diagnostics: SFI: P030#.
5. Confirm misfire has been eliminated (0% at all times) using Diagnostic Tester while
engine is idling.
NOTE:
If misfire percent is any value other than 0% at any time, then that cylinder is misfiring. Repair
