Introduction
The throttle valve actuator motor is powered by the engine control unit. The engine control unit receives the necessary power from a specific relay.
Component assembling position

A injection relay; b etv relay (throttle valve actuator motor), c radiator fan relay, d engine control unit.
Connection wiring diagram

Ccm engine control connection, t throttle valve actuator motor relay. 85 Throttle valve actuator motor relay activation, light blue/green - lb/g, 87 ecu power input for throttle valve actuator motor, red/brown r/bn, 30 and 86 red/purple - r/v, r battery positive (+30).
In the event of fault
In the event of a throttle valve actuator relay fault, the ecu cuts motor power and the throttle valves close (see chapter operating principle and characteristics of the ride-by-wire system in this section).
Fault codes generated and possible correlated faults
Fault codes generated by the engine control unit and displayed by the dds (etv relay diagnosis):
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.
The dashboard service display shows the error "etv relay" (throttle valve actuator motor relay) and the eobd warning light activates.
Possible correlated faults: the engine does not start, cuts out or remains running at idle speed and will not accelerate.
Check:
The throttle valve actuator motor may be actuated into one of the three preset positions (0%, 50%, 100%) using the dds. During motor actuation, the throttle valve actuator motor relay is driven.
If none of the tests described above identify the problem and the throttle valve actuator relay is in proper working order, contact ducati.
Component replacement methods
No special measures are necessary in order to replace the throttle valve actuator motor relay.
Injection relay
Starter motor relayLow battery level
The activation of this (amber yellow) "warning" indicates that the status of
the battery vehicle is low.
It is activated when the battery voltage is ¼ 11.0 Volt.
Note
In this case, ducati recommends charging the battery as soon as possible
with the specific device, as it is possible th ...
Immobilizer override procedure
This procedure makes it possible to "temporarily" turn on
the motorcycle if the hf (hands free) system is not working.
Note
The pin code function must be activated by entering
your 4 digit pin in the instrument panel, otherwise the
vehicle cannot be turned on temporarily in the case ...
Recovery procedure in the event of electric steering lock fault
If any fault occurs during activation of the electric steering lock: for
example, if the pin jams, if the handlebar is moved
while the pin is deployed or if there is excessive strain on the electric pin
actuator motor, the electric steering lock is
automatically disengaged and the hands free s ...
