Ducati Diavel Service Manual: Starter motor relay

Introduction

When the rider presses the start button, with all the safety conditions required to enable engine start met, the engine control unit enables the relay that activates the starter motor.

In the event of fault

In the event of a starter motor relay fault, the engine will not start.

Fault codes generated and possible correlated faults

The engine control unit generates no fault code in the event of a starter motor relay fault.

No errors are indicated on the dashboard.

Possible correlated faults: the starter motor cannot be operated. Check:

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.

If none of the tests described above identifies the problem and the power supply and ground for the engine control unit are in correct working order, replace the engine control unit.

Component replacement methods

No special measures are necessary in order to replace the starter motor relay.

Injection relay
Introduction The fuel pump, injectors and ignition coils are all powered via the injection relay. The relay also sends voltage to the engine control unit, which enables activation of the relay itself. Component assembling position A injection relay; b etv relay (throttle valve actuator mot ...

Refitting the gear interlock plunger and pawl assembly
On the special screw (3), fit the gear pawl lever (4), orienting it as shown in the figure, the washer (2) with the square edge side (d) facing the clutch-side crankcase half, and the spring (1), positioning it so that the hook end (a) is facing the gear pawl lever. Locate the hook end (a) of ...

The battery charging circuit and power distribution
On the diavel, the +15v (key on power) voltage does not come from a conventional ignition key, but from pin 30 of the hands free relay. This relay is switched to closed state by the hands free unit when the latter enables power on for the ignition and engine. The hands free relay receives +30v ...
