Title: Check Engine Light - 2009 M696 Post by: peanut_man on June 20, 2013, 08:44:06 PM Hey all,
It's a nice day today so I rode my M696 out to the office. I haven't really taken a long trip for a while due to travels / weather /etc. The check engine light came on for a min or so and go off. This happens several times on the trip but only on highway (40mph+). Once I'm in town at slower speed, no light comes up. Engine seems to behave just fine. Is there a way to look at the fault code? I'm hoping there's a way to read fault code similar to a car w/ OBD II interface? I found some instruction below on how to read code but that seems to only work while the engine light is on. Which it's not when I'm stationary... Any help to diagnose? Or I need to find a Ducati dealer? :confused: Few maint I did last month or so includes:
Thanks Quote If your check engine light comes on, toggle through until you see "Error" then hold the switch down and it will show the error codes, hold it down because sometimes there are more than one, it reads them in three second intervals. Error message Error TPS Throttle position sensor PRESS Pressure sensor T OIL Oil temperature sensor T-AIR Air temperature sensor BATT Battery voltage LOW - HIGH LAMB Lambda sensor and/or Lambda heater FUEL Fuel reserve sensor COIL Horizontal and/or vertical cylinder coil INJECT Horizontal and/or vertical cylinder injector START Starter contactor R INJ Injection relay PKUP Pickup sensor SPEED Speed sensor (if present) IMMO Immobilizer (Key missing or antenna disconnected or key not recognised) CAN CAN line (Communication between ECU and instrument panel) LIGHT Lights relay If you toggle through and don't see "Error" then the system cleared its own fault.

They did not produced enough spark at higher speeds and rpm and light came on.

Will replace the plugs and go from there... Title: Re: Check Engine Light - 2009 M696 Post by: peanut_man on June 22, 2013, 09:12:32 PM I had that when my sparks were almost dead. They did not produced enough spark at higher speeds and rpm and light came on. Surprisingly it seems to have been resolved w/ new set of plugs (less than $7!). Old plugs look alright, but new plugs did make a difference. So far... Went out to ride for over an hour after replaced the plugs tonight. No light came up. Hopefully that's it. :) Title: Re: Check Engine Light - 2009 M696 Post by: kokis on June 23, 2013, 05:58:05 PM glad to help [beer]
