Ducati Diavel Service Manual: Programming/reprogramming keys

The dds diagnosis instrument is required in order to programme/reprogramme the keys. The key programming procedure is launched from this instrument.

To start the key programming/reprogramming procedure it is necessary to have at least one of the keys that start the vehicle available (i.E. It must be possible to start the bike with both the key and the pin code). If none of such keys is available it will be necessary to replace the whole hands free system.

It is not possible to start the key programming/reprogramming procedure using only the pin code.

It is possible to programme maximum 3 keys, no matter which type (active or passive).

During the procedure all keys that you want to use with the bike must be programmed. The keys unavailable during the procedure will thus no longer be able to start the vehicle (they might be reprogrammed afterwards by repeating the whole key programming/reprogramming procedure).

During the procedure the dds diagnosis instrument will request to place the keys to be programmed in succession on the antenna, also the active one. The active key will be acknowledge only through a transponder (with key leant on the antenna) to avoid interferences of other active keys within 1.5 Meters from the antenna.

The new detected keys will not be saved in the hands free system memory until pressing the "f2" icon on the dds diagnosis instrument. For this reason, in case the procedure is interrupted before pressing "f2" the keys previously stored in the hands free system will not be modified once the procedure is started with the dds diagnosis instrument, thoroughly follow the displayed instructions to complete it.

Passive key
Introduction The passive key (1) is used when the active key is not working correctly or is not available. The passive key works as a transponder, and must therefore be placed physically onto ...

Introduction to the engine control system
The engine control system used on the diavel consists of the following elements: Ride-by-wire system (motorised throttle valves with electric actuator, throttle grip position sensor and throt ...

Engine setting function (engine power control)
This function customises engine power and output. To access the function it is necessary to view the ""setting" menu", using buttons (1) "s" or (2) "t" select the "riding mode" function and press the reset button (3) to enter the following page. Use button (1) "s" or (2) "t" to select the r ...

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 ...

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 coefficient), that reduces its own value when the temperature increases. The engine temperature ...
