Ducati Diavel Service Manual: Fuel pressure test
Note
The on-screen icons used during this procedure are explained in a table at the end of this section.
Undo the screws (2) and remove the flange cover (1).
Remove one of the two pipes of the fuel system (3).
Use the fuel pressure pipe (4) part no. 590.1.189.1A by connecting one end (d) to the coupling of the delivery pipe to the tank and the other end (e) to the fuel system pipe (3): in this way you create a pressure pick-up socket (f).
Connect the pressure sensor (5) part no. 552.1.039.1A to the outlet (f) of hose (4), in order to convert the pressure reading into an electric signal.
Turn on the dds diagnosis instrument (6) referring to the paragraph "tester power supply".
Connect the power and diagnosis cable (measurement module) (7) part no. 97900.0222 To the measurement module connector (e) of the dds (1).
Connect the pressure sensor (6) part no. 552.1.039.1A to outlet (a) or (c) of the cable (7).
On the dds diagnosis instrument (6), select the "measurement module" function by pressing the corresponding icon; then press the "pressure test" icon (f) followed by the "start" icon (g).
The socket to which the cable (measurement module) (7) is to be connected is indicated on the screen with a capital letter: a, b or c.
The values may be displayed in three different ways: in one numeric form and in two graphic forms; to select the desired display type, press the "value display" icon (h).
The measured value is indicated alongside the letter (a) or (c) identifying the cable used for the measurement: i.E. If you used socket (a) of the cable (7), the value measured will be displayed next to the letter (a) on the screen.
The maximum pressure must be equal 3 bar (nominal).
Once the test is over, remove all the components of the test instrument and refit the fuel system pipe (3).
Refit the flange cover (1) by tightening the screws (2) to a torque of 4 nm +/- 10% (sect. 3 - 3, Frame torque settings).

Protective apparel
Always wear a helmet. Most motorcycle accident fatalities
are due to head injuries.
For safety eye protection, gloves, and high top, sturdy boots
should also be worn.
The exhaust system becomes very hot during operation,
never touch the exhaust system. Wear clothing that fully

Spark plugs replacement
Check the colour of the ceramic insulation around the central electrode:
an even, light brown colour indicates the engine is in good condition and
running at the right temperature.
Inspect the centre electrode for wear and check spark plug gap, which should be:
0.8+/-0.1 Mm.

Accelerator position sensor (throttle grip)
Introduction
An accelerator position sensor (aps) is mounted on the throttle body of the
diavel, which measures the degree of aperture
of the throttle grip.
The throttle grip is connected to the sensor via two metal cables
The sensor transmits information to the ecu relative to the "torque ...
