Ducati Diavel Service Manual: Introduction to the engine control system
The engine control system used on the diavel consists of the following elements:
- Ride-by-wire system (motorised throttle valves with electric actuator, throttle grip position sensor and throttle valve position sensor)
- One injector per cylinder installed downstream of throttle valve
- One coil per cylinder, in spark plug bore
- Two oxygen sensors (one per cylinder, installed on each exhaust manifold)
- Two absolute pressure (map) sensors installed downstream of throttle valve (one per cylinder connected to each intake duct)
- One three-way catalytic converter for exhaust gas post-treatment
The system also includes conventional sensors for water and air temperature, engine speed-timing etc.

Programming/reprogramming keys
The dds diagnosis instrument is required in order to programme/reprogramme
the keys. The key programming procedure
is launched from this instrument.
To start the key programming/reprogramming pr ...
Specific operating strategies
Idle speed
No electric motor is used for idle speed regulation (bypass is modulated
instead with the throttle valve), as idle speed
control is effected by the ride-by-wire system. Idle speed is ma ...

Air temperature sensor
Introduction
The engine control system on the diavel uses a sensor that measures air
temperature. This sensor has a resistance of
ntc type (negative temperature coefficient), that reduces its own value when the
temperature increases. The air
temperature sensor allows the engine control unit t ...
Fuel, lubricants and other fluids
Important
Do not use additives in fuel or lubricants.
Engine oil
A good quality engine oil has special properties. Use only a highly detergent
engine oil with certified se, sf or sg or
higher service ratings as marked on the container.

Overhaul of the gearbox
Check the condition of the front coupling dogs of the gears. They must be in
perfect condition and with no sign of wear on
the edges of the teeth.
The idler gears must rotate freely on their shafts.
When refitting, make sure the circlips are correctly positioned.
Check the needle roller ...
