MSD Race Ignition

Test Tool PN 89973

OPERATION

A Master unit is a designated unit the Test Tool uses to validate other units are in compliance. 
Any MSD unit with a “REGULATED” tab on the MSD View screen can become a Master unit. 
Before using the Test Tool PN 89973 to validate compliance, it must be paired with the “Master” 
unit. The designated Master unit should be programmed with the regulated parameter values 
and their appropriate checkboxes selected in the REGULATED tab. Next, connect the Tech tool 
to the Diagnostic Connector and follow the steps to replace the Master unit. At this point, the 
unit is ready to check compliance when connected to any other MSD controller.
