Ducati Diavel Service Manual: Absolute pressure sensors

Introduction

The engine control system of the diavel is equipped with two absolute pressure sensors, with one connected to the intake duct of each cylinder (map 1 cylinder 1 - horizontal - map 2 cylinder 2 - vertical). They are used by the control unit to determine the quantity of fuel to be injected according to the speed-density strategy and to determine the atmospheric pressure (necessary information to correct the carburation in accordance with the altimetric measurement).

Components assembling position

Absolute pressure sensors


The absolute pressure sensors of the vertical (1) and horizontal (2) cylinders are fixed near the airbox (the image shows also the position of the sensor connection).

In the event of fault

In the event of a fault of absolute pressure sensor 1, the engine control unit uses the information from absolute pressure sensor 2 instead.

In the event of a fault of absolute pressure sensor 2, the engine control unit uses the information from absolute pressure sensor 1 instead.

In the event of a fault of both absolute pressure sensor 1 and absolute pressure sensor 2:

Fault codes generated and possible correlated faults

Fault codes generated by the engine control unit and displayed by the dds (maps 1 sensor diagnosis - maps 2 sensor 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 "pressure" and the eobd warning light activates.

Possible correlated faults: inadequate engine power, irregular idle speed (target idle speed is 1350 rpm with engine stabilised at operating temperature). Check:

The dds may be used to read the absolute pressure value within the two intake ducts.

If none of the aforementioned tests identify the problem and the absolute pressure sensors are in proper working order, replace the engine control unit.

Component replacement methods

No special measures are necessary in order to replace absolute pressure sensor 1 and absolute pressure sensor 2, (check integrity of the rubber pipes via which they are connected to the two intake ducts). After replacing one or both of the pressure sensors, reset the self-adaptive parameters relative to carburation with the dds.

Engine temperature sensor
Introduction The engine control system on the diavel uses a sensor that measures the temperature of the coolant (engine temperature). This sensor has a resistance of ntc type (negative temperature ...

Oxygen sensors
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 ...

Power: 0.7 Kw/12 v Direction of rotation: counter clockwise viewed from power take-off side. The starter motor is highly compact and reliable and therefore rarely gives any type of problem. In case of troubles, ensure that the starter motor cable terminal is properly tightened under the n ...

Topping up the electrolyte
Warning Before carrying out any operations on the battery, keep in mind the safety standards (sect.1 - 3, General safety rules). The electrolyte in the battery is toxic and can cause burns if it comes into contact with the skin because it contains sulphuric acid. Wear protective clothing, a ...

Side stand
Important Before lowering the side stand, check that the ground is sufficiently even and firm. Do not park on soft or pebbled ground or on asphalt melted by the sun heat and similar or the motorcycle may fall over. When parking on a slope, always park with the rear wheel on the downhill sid ...
