Ducati Diavel Service Manual: Throttle valve actuator motor relay

Introduction

The throttle valve actuator motor is powered by the engine control unit. The engine control unit receives the necessary power from a specific relay.

Component assembling position

Throttle valve actuator motor relay


A injection relay; b etv relay (throttle valve actuator motor), c radiator fan relay, d engine control unit.

Ccm engine control connection, t throttle valve actuator motor relay. 85 Throttle valve actuator motor relay activation, light blue/green - lb/g, 87 ecu power input for throttle valve actuator motor, red/brown r/bn, 30 and 86 red/purple - r/v, r battery positive (+30).

In the event of fault

In the event of a throttle valve actuator relay fault, the ecu cuts motor power and the throttle valves close (see chapter operating principle and characteristics of the ride-by-wire system in this section).

Fault codes generated and possible correlated faults

Fault codes generated by the engine control unit and displayed by the dds (etv relay diagnosis):

Note

Check integrity of electric circuit - short-circuit to vdc = with dashboard on, using a voltmeter, a voltage is measured between the wire tested and ground.

Check integrity of electric circuit - short-circuit to ground = with the battery cables disconnected, using an ohmmeter, continuity is detected between the wire tested and ground.

Check integrity of electric circuit - open circuit = with the battery cables disconnected, using an ohmmeter, no continuity is detected between the two ends of the wire tested.

The dashboard service display shows the error "etv relay" (throttle valve actuator motor relay) and the eobd warning light activates.

Possible correlated faults: the engine does not start, cuts out or remains running at idle speed and will not accelerate.

Check:

The throttle valve actuator motor may be actuated into one of the three preset positions (0%, 50%, 100%) using the dds. During motor actuation, the throttle valve actuator motor relay is driven.

If none of the tests described above identify the problem and the throttle valve actuator relay is in proper working order, contact ducati.

Component replacement methods

No special measures are necessary in order to replace the throttle valve actuator motor relay.

Injection relay
Introduction The fuel pump, injectors and ignition coils are all powered via the injection relay. The relay also sends voltage to the engine control unit, which enables activation of the relay its ...

Starter motor relay
Introduction When the rider presses the start button, with all the safety conditions required to enable engine start met, the engine control unit enables the relay that activates the starter motor ...

Reassembly of the clutch-side crankcase cover
Fit the plug (14) and the gasket (13). Fit the plug (17) and the gasket (15). If the bush has been replaced, fully seat the new bush (7) in the slot in the cover using a suitable drift and a press. If the sealing ring (8) needs to be renewed, fit the new seal into the crankcase cover, po ...

Hands free key (hf) not recognised
The activation of this (amber yellow) "warning" indicates that the hands free system does not detect the active key (1, fig.62) Near the vehicle. Note Check that the active key (a) is near the vehicle (and has not been lost) or that it works properly. ...

Introduction to the "hands free" system
The hands free system allows the rider to start the engine without physically using the ignition key. The ignition key merely has to be in the vicinity of the motorcycle, such as in the rider's pocket, for example, in order to use the vehicle. Compared to the standard ignition switches the h ...
