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 relayRemoval of the fuel tank fairings
Remove the rh air inlet (7) by loosening screws (6) and (9).
Undo the retaining screw (3) of the rh front half-fairing (1).
Slightly pull the pin (a) to disengage it from the seal (b), and remove the
rh front half-fairing (1) by sliding it onwards
and releasing the tabs (c) from the ...
Start procedure with pin code (no keys)
The motorcycle may be started without keys with a special procedure using the
dashboard and the switches on the
handlebar.
Note
This procedure is only possible if the pin code has been enabled
previously. For security reasons, the pin code is disabled
by default when the vehicle leaves the f ...
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 the sensor via two metal cables
The sensor transmits information to the ecu relative to the "torque ...
