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 relayGear indicator display on dashboard shows dashes, engaged gear not displayed
correctly, idle speed irregular

Fault codes
Dds: gear sensor diagnosis -> short circuit to ground or open circuit (s.C.
Gnd or c.O.) - Short circuit to vdc (s.C. Vdc)
- congruence (generic error - signal not correct).
Dashboard: the error "gear sensor" is shown on the service display. The eobd
warning light activates.

The immobilizer system
For additional antitheft protection, the motorcycle is
equipped with an immobilizer, an electronic system that
locks the engine automatically whenever the ignition switch
is turned off.
The grip of each ignition key contains an electronic device
that modulates the output signal from a special ...
Dashboard diagnosis
This function identifies any abnormal vehicle behaviours.
The dashboard activates any abnormal vehicle behaviours in real time (errors).
At key-on (at the end of the check) one or more "errors" are displayed in red
(only if they are active).
When an "error" is triggered, the indication (r ...
