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

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

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
Starter motor relayRefitting the air filters
Apply universal sealant in the air duct (2) and (6) groove (d).
Fit seal (7) in the groove (d) having care to place it correctly in the relevant
seat so as to avoid abnormal wrinkles.
Pull out the filter cartridge (1) from the seat in the airbox.
Position the rh air duct (2).

Removing of the rear footrests
The removal of the rear footrests is described for the right side but it is
the same for both.
Undo the pin (13) and remove the rh rear footrest (12) from the frame.
Recover washer (8) and the o-rings (9).
If necessary remove the rubber footrest (11) of the footrest (12).

Reassembly of the gearbox
To refit the gearbox components follow the procedure under sect. 9 - 9.2,
Reassembly of the crankcase halves, relating to
reassembly of the engine crankcase.
As a final practical test, ensure that with the gearbox in neutral the front
coupling dogs (a) of sliding gears (b) are
equidistant o ...
