Traction Control Off on start

Discussion in 'Multistrada' started by MultiMan, Jun 4, 2013.

  1. Hi guys!

    In the last week I've been getting o "Traction control off" notice on the LCD. I sometimes get that when i turn on the red switch and start the bike. It stays on even if i start moving. When i turn off and then turn on again, it disappears.
    Any thoughts on that?

    Cheers!
     
  2. The TC starts as "off" if your battery is disconnected, for example if the battery runs out of charge or if its disconnected when you do some maintenance. However what you describe seems to be that it comes in and out without a battery disconnection which means its probably something else.
     
  3. Thanks Derek. the link is very helpful. I will check it out!

    -Warning on the circular LCD.
    -DTC indication is off.(left side)

  5. Same warnings that I got. The front ABS sensor is faulty or disconnected. If it was the rear sensor you'd loose the speedo reading too.
     
  6. Thanks Derek. I'm watting for a call back form the dealer so i can go and check it out.
     
  7. I would say something to do with front wheel sensor, reason being is, I lubed the chain last week, and had the bike on centre stand, with the engine idling in gear I noticed the DTC was saying off.
     
  8. Being slightly less diplomatic than Duke:

    No, no, no, no, no!

    Get yourself a bag to throw up in, make sure you're sitting down and look at the photos half way down this thread http://ducatiforum.co.uk/f17/ouch-looks-gore-warning-11714/ and never do that again.
     
  9. Its ABS related, traction control off on my car due to ABS fault.
     
  10. What an American cock. Kinda drawls tha voyce so ya kinda know he's kinda cornpone durmb.
     
  11. What the hell is all that about?
     
  12. The problem suddenly disappeared since Sunday. I just came back from the dealer and the diagnostic said that everything is ok. They said that it could be moisture from washing the bike and its gone now. :p
    Anyways lets hope that's that.
     
  13. I wouldn't bank on that. Mine was intermittent to start with, gradually getting worse. The problem was a break in the loom as it got stretched at full lock when manoeuvering the bike around.
