How to: DucatiDiag

[J5]

Genius software! Flashed my ecu with the writer program.
And the engine runs so much smoother with the DP ECU

did it or does it remove the immobiliser ?

[Mr.Purple]

It does, but I didn't. There is an option for it in the writer program.
It only works for bikes without a dedicated immobilizer unit.

Quick question for those who have reflashing with ducati diag. Throw on one of the maps available and see how it runs. Take it to get it dynoed with AFRs. And then adjust as necessary and reflash? Does the program allow you to tune each cylinder separately?

[Mr.Purple]

By reading different maps with the ECM software, I see that some files have separate maps for each cylinder. The one I flashed only had one map for both (AFAIK). I'm not sure if your ecu must support this feature, or if you can map it to do so. I would ask on the ducatidiag forum. And yes, it's possible to alter the map with the ECM software manually, after a dyno run.

Can someone with a working VAG-COM cable take some pics of the circuit board in the plug?  Mine doesn't work right, and I'm pretty sure I either have the wrong pinout board or it was soldered wrong (my Fiat cable is bad, also... the center pin is not continuous with the OBD pin, but it isn't held together with screws)

[He Man]

depending on which you have, you might have to jump one of the ground leads. the board is pritned backwards on mine, but it was soldered correctly, however for the purpose of the duc, it needed some fixer upper. You should use a shorter wire.i just folded the thing into itself.

[Dirty Duc]

hmm... 4 and 5 are continuous on mine without jumping.  It seems the fiat cable is backwards at the 3 pin connector, but either way I get no change when clicking the K line buttons in the "cable test."

Strewth, I see it's only available in English, Italian, and French versions. I guess I'll have to keep me Strine - English dictionary handy.

Fair crack of the whip mate!

[OzzyRob]

Ah it's ok I've got pretty good hang of it.

I speak fluent bogan as well for anyone that lives further out than Newtown



And no I wont steal your beer............unless it's more than 13 days before pension day.

So far even without registering its told me that the moron who built my loom managed to transpose side stand and clutch inputs to the ecu. Moron!

No joy on my check engine light, which is permanently lit. Maybe that's just another wiring error.

Dang. Check out from the forum for a year and I miss the cool stuff. Thanks SuzyJ for sending me over here.

Just go an email from JP(wrote DucatiDiag). He is pulling the plug on DucatiDiag for the foreseeable future and closing down the forum. I don't know the story behind it, but it sucks none the less.

[Mr.Purple]

Me too.  I'm guessing he got a cease and desist or something similar.

That's what I was thinking but he wrote it from the ground up so idk.

[Mr.Purple]

The software is his own, so no problem there. I think the problem might be that the writer copies other ECUes. I don't know much about this stuff, but in my view it's a gray area. I'm not sure if he would have lost if he was taken to court. I just don't think it's worth the hassle.
