What's this thingy and what does it do?

Goat_Herder · September 13, 2009, 09:24:17 PM

I was working on adding an oil cooler to my M620 this weekend. After putting everything back together in working order, I went out for a quick ride to see if the oil cooler was functioning correctly. After a 10 minutes ride, I got home and realized that this thingy wasn't even plugged in.

What is this thingy for anyway? Thanks.

Ohhhhh. That's the doohickey for the thingamabob.

Sorry nothing of value to contribute.

i believe it controls the injectors... cause my RB3 unit plugs into. if its not, then i can only guarentee that it is a port for plugging something important into...

Well, a look at the parts guide (http://issuu.com/ducatiomaha/docs/m620ie_usa-02) tells us that it's a sensor.

What it senses, I'm not sure. Perhaps a temperate sensor, or pressure?

*shrugs*

If you give it a bit, someone smarter will come along and enlighten us all.

Now we know.

And, in the immortal words of G.I. Joe, knowing is half the battle.

Given the position - Cam sensor? Do we win a prize if we get it right?

Do I get a prize for not paying attention?

I can't imagine it running very well with the cam sensor disconnected.

Thanks for all the feedback. Now I know "knowing is half of the battle".

The bike was running just fine with it disconnected. It even registered temperature. Weird... I wonder if there is any other temperature sensors and the reading is the average or the highest temperature.

This is actually where I plugged in my aftermarket Flux Capacitor.
