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 relayParking
Park the stopped motorcycle on the side stand.
Turn the handle completely to the left or right.
If this operation is performed within 60 seconds after the
engine stop, the message "waiting for lock" (fig. 120) Will
appear on the display of the instrument panel for approx.

Steering lock on indication
This function informs that the steering lock was turned on.
The steering lock can be turned on during the first 60
seconds after turning off the vehicle by pressing down on the
"run" button.
If the steering lock was enabled correctly, the instrument
panel will show the indication ...
Refitting the cylinder heads pulleys/fixed tensioners
Check that the keyway on the end of the camshaft is in good condition and
without burrs.
Fit a woodruff key (b) in the keyway of each camshaft.
Fit the pulley (11) on the camshaft, inserting the woodruff key in the in the
slot (c) in the pulley.
Apply the recommended grease to the t ...
