Ducati Diavel Service Manual: Throttle valve position sensor
Introduction
The throttle valve position sensor (tps) of the diavel is mounted on the throttle body.
- The sensor is integrated into the throttle valve actuator motor, which turns the spindle of the vertical cylinder throttle valve directly.
- The sensor sends information to the engine control unit relative to the position of the vertical cylinder throttle valve and, as a consequence, of the horizontal cylinder throttle valve, which is connected to the former by a link rod.
- For safety reasons, the sensor contains two hall effect sensing elements (a main element - main - and a secondary element - sub). The two potentiometers share the same power and ground.

pocket, for example, in order to use the vehicle.
Compared to the standard ignition switches the h ...
