I’d maybe suggest to the mechanic he needs a more extensive diagnostic computer. It should, at the very least, be able to tell him which circuit has the fault to save him (or you) checking everything. Coming back to your original post, do you have a wiring diagram? Error 38 is a short circuit or open circuit on the CANbus network. This is the network the dash and ECU use to communicate with each other. If it’s good it should have 3.5-5v across it, if it’s not got that then it’s earthing to ground somewhere. Assuming you’ve fixed the problem with a low battery voltage I’d start there.
its not a ducati diagnostic computer, but he said it would work ok on that bike. i can try another mechanic that has diagnostics and see if it can pinpoint a faulty circuit. i,ll check the handbook for a wiring diagram. thanks.
tested the stator and the ohms reading is 0.00 . i will be removing the casing to double check that the stator has burnt out .just waiting on my puller tool to arrive . can you recommend a good stator at a reasonable price. massive range in prices from £41 to £191.
