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.
Accelerator position sensor (throttle grip)

Using a multimeter to check the electrical systems
Introduction
This instrument allows you to measure resistance, voltages, and current
values. Multimeters can be divided into two basic
types: analogue and digital display multimeter. An analogue multimeter has a
pointer display. The dial is marked with the
scales to be used for measurement of ...
