Note

To check the battery charging system for faults, use the dds diagnosis instrument and follow the instructions given in the paragraph, "testing the battery charging system" (sect. 6 - 11).

The absolute value of voltage measured across the terminals of two of the three yellow cables (the measured value will be the same whichever combination of cable is used) must be within the range indicated in the table below.

(Ambient temperature: 35 C - 70 C)

Important

Before testing, disconnect the alternator wiring from the electrical system when the ignition key is set to off.

Values significantly lower than those indicated above can be due to:

In the above cases the whole alternator assembly (rotor and stator) should be renewed.

If checks have a favourable outcome, reconnect the alternator to the regulator with ignition key on off. Make sure that no cables are damaged or disconnected.

After resetting the first oil service warning (triggered at 1000 km), upon every key-on the system displays the indication of which type of service should be performed next (oil service or desmo service) and the residual range. A (green) warning (1) is activated for 2 seconds on every key-on ...

Operating principle and characteristics of the ride-by-wire system
The engine control system of the diavel uses a ride-by-wire system with motorised throttle valves. This eliminates all direct connection with metal cables between the throttle grip and the throttle valves themselves. Cables are used to rotate the aps potentiometer, which generates an electric ...
