Ducati Diavel Service Manual: 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.
Component assembling position
Connection on starter motor relay.
Connection wiring diagram
Mt starter motor, ccm engine control connection. 4 Starter motor relay activation, blue/black - b/bk, a key on power (+15 from hands free relay 30), r battery power (+30), 3 red/black - r/bk, m black - bk, b black - bk.
In the event of fault
In the event of a starter motor relay fault, the engine will not start.
Fault codes generated and possible correlated faults
The engine control unit generates no fault code in the event of a starter motor relay fault.
No errors are indicated on the dashboard.
Possible correlated faults: the starter motor cannot be operated. Check:
- Battery state of charge
- If power supply voltage (12 v - key-on) is present on pin 3 of the starter motor relay (if not, consult the paragraph "hands free") and check the integrity of the 15a fuse
- Integrity of the electrical circuit and electrical connections of the starter motor relay
- Integrity of the starter motor relay. After removing the relay, when 12 v power is applied to pin 3 and pin 4, the contacts should close (continuity between pin b and pin m)
- Integrity of the starter motor and that the motor is correctly connected to the electrical system (also check ground Connection on engine, see sect. 6 - 3"Starter motor")
- The integrity of the engine start button and its circuit
- The integrity of the side stand switch, the clutch lever switch, the gear position sensor and their respective circuits
- Integrity of stop engine switch
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.
If none of the tests described above identifies the problem and the power supply and ground for the engine control unit are in correct working order, replace the engine control unit.
Component replacement methods
No special measures are necessary in order to replace the starter motor relay.
Throttle valve actuator motor relay

Adjusting the clutch lever and front brake lever
The clutch lever (1) is fitted with a span adjuster (2) which serves to alter
the distance of the lever from the handlebar.
The lever distance can be adjusted through 10 clicks of the dial (2). Turn
clockwise to increase lever distance. Turn the
adjuster counter clockwise to decrease lever d ...
Adjusting the steering head bearings
Excessive handlebar play or shaking forks in the steering head indicate that
the play in the steering head bearings
requires adjustment. Proceed as follows:
loosen the clamp screw (1) that holds the steering tube to the steering head.
Slacken the clamp screws (2) securing the steering head ...
Headlight control
This function allows you to reduce current consumption from
the battery, by automatically managing headlight switchingoff.
At key-on, the high beam and low beam lights are off.
When the engine is started, the low beam lights turn on
automatically; from this moment, "normal" operati ...
