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)
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 t ...

Ignition coils
Introduction
The engine control system of the diavel includes two ignition coils: one for
the horizontal cylinder and one for the vertical
cylinder. These coils are installed directly in the spark plug wells. A diode is
installed on the secondary winding inside the
coil, which prevents the un ...
Reassembly of the connecting rods
Before starting, check that the crankshaft main bearing journals and big-end
journals are free of burrs or evident signs of
machining: if necessary, clean the surfaces with very fine emery cloth and oil.
Check that the grooves are in perfect condition with no signs of forcing.
Clean the cra ...
