Introduction
An on-off type oxygen sensor (in normal operating conditions, the voltage generated by the sensors switches between a value close to 1v and a value close to 0v) is mounted on each of the exhaust manifold of the diavel.
Each oxygen sensor has its own internal heater, which receives 12v and has a ground connection controlled by the engine control unit with a pwm (pulse width modulation) signal.
Example of a pwm signal used by the engine control unit to control the oxygen sensor heater. While the signal period is constant, the duration of the part of the signal at 0v (ground) changes, varying the time during which the heater remains electrically powered (if the ground period is close to the signal period, the heater functions continuously, if the ground period is short, the heater functions in short intervals, whereas if the ground period is zero, the heater is not functional).
Component assembling position
The two images show the oxygen sensor mounted on the exhaust manifold for the vertical cylinder and the sensor mounted on the exhaust manifold for the horizontal cylinder.

In the event of fault
In the event of a fault of one or both oxygen sensors or their respective heaters:
Fault codes generated and possible correlated faults
Fault codes generated by the engine control unit and displayed by the dds (vertical o2 sensor diagnosis - horizontal o2 sensor diagnosis - vertical o2 heater diagnosis - horizontal o2 heater 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 "lambda" (lambda sensor) and/or the error "lambda heater" (lambda sensor heater).
Possible correlated faults: power delivery uneven when exiting idle speed state, irregular idle speed (target idle speed is 1350 rpm with engine stabilised at operating temperature). Check:
If the dds displays the self-adaptive parameters, this indicates that the engine control system is operating in a closed loop with the oxygen sensors. The dds also displays the voltages generated by the oxygen sensors (which must oscillate On average between approximately 0.1 V and approximately 0.8 V). Note that the self-adaptive parameters should not approach the upper and lower extremes of this range as this would indicate that the fuel-air mixture is too rich or too lean.
The graph shows the typical pattern for the voltage generated by the oxygen sensor with the engine at idle speed and at operating temperature. This voltage may be tested with an oscilloscope or even with a voltmeter, as it oscillates at low frequency.
If none of the aforementioned tests identify the problem and the oxygen sensors are in proper working order, contact ducati.
Component replacement methods
No special measures are necessary in order to replace the oxygen sensors. After replacing one or both of the oxygen sensors, reset the self-adaptive parameters relative to carburation with the dds.
Traction control (dtc) deactivated
The activation of this (amber yellow) "warning" indicates
that dtc (ducati traction control) has been turned off.
Note
In this case, ducati recommends being very careful
when riding as the vehicle behaviour will be different in
comparison to when operating with the traction control
...
Dashboard diagnosis
This function identifies any abnormal vehicle behaviours.
The dashboard activates any abnormal vehicle behaviours in real time (errors).
At key-on (at the end of the check) one or more "errors" are displayed in red
(only if they are active).
When an "error" is triggered, the indication (r ...
Evaporative emissions canister system (usa versions only)
Usa models are equipped with an additional system with an evaporative
emissions canister that prevents fuel fumes from
being discharged into the atmosphere.
The breather hose (4) is connected to the canister filter (1); when the fuel
has been filtered, it is returned through the
hose (2) to t ...
