Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help here/experienced something similar. I have a 2014 899 Panigale, covered 3300 miles. Recently, I've been out and the ECU engine management light has come on my dash, which has deprived it of power. Turned it off, on again and momentarily clears the problem. Arrived home to be sitting on my drive in neutral with the bike idling at around 6k rpm. Took it into my local bike garage where they plugged it into their diagnostic machine - fault code: "vertical cylinder throttle sensor - implausible signal". They cleared the fault code and reset the ECU which cured the problem for about a month, until the problem has returned. Any information/advice greatly appreciated. Sam.
Hi Sam, did you solve the issue in the meantime ? I also have the same error occurence on my 899 Panigale. I replaced the throttle bodies as well as the ride-by-wire. Currently it is at the ducati dealer for fixing it. Jens
There is a large electrical connector on the underside of air box, right hand side. It’s a MIL type, twist to lock type. They are notoriously tight to do up correctly, and if not clicked in place, can come undone. This can give rise to throttle related errors. Usually rear TPS and throttle motor. Well worth a check
You mean this 19 pin twist connector ?! I loosened it and cleaned the pins with contact spray. I still have the same error. But I must admit at the same time I replaced the throttle bodies and also replaced this injection wiring harness. I then had difficulties remounting it. I will try once again. Thank you for this valuable help.
The sensor on the side or the cylinder head it measures pressure it has a black rubber hose attached to it. They are common for failing and throwing such faults codes
I don’t have it to hand. Look at your bike. On the near side. Look at the two heads and you’ll see what I mean.
You probably mean this part, right ? You mean just replacing this pressure sensor could be a good try ?
