Operation
When the ignition key is turned from ON to OFF, the
immobilizer system activates the engine lock. When the
ignition key is turned from OFF to ON to start the engine:
1) if the code is recognised, the warning light (6, fig. 4.1)
on the instrument panel will flash briefly. This means
that the immobilizer system has recognised the code
and disabled the engine lock. When you press the
START (2, fig. 13) button, the engine will start up.
2) if either the warning light (6, fig. 4.1) or the EOBD light
(7, fig. 4.1) remain lit, the code has not been recognized.
In this case, turn the ignition key back to OFF and then
to ON again. If the engine still does not start, try again
with the other black key. If the engine still fails to start,
contact your DUCATI Service Centre.
3) If the warning light (6, fig. 4.1) keeps flashing, it means
that an error signal from the immobilizer system has
been cleared (e.g. with the override procedure using the
throttle twistgrip). Turn the key to OFF and back to ON;
the immobilizer light should return to its normal state
(see step 1).
Warning
Sharp knocks can damage the electronic components
inside the key.
Always use the same key during the procedure. Using
different keys could prevent the system from recognising
the code in the key.
Duplicate keys
If you need additional keys, contact your DUCATI Service
Centre with all the keys you have in your possession and
your CODE CARD.
DUCATI Service will program new keys and re-program
your original keys, up to a maximum of 8 keys.
DUCATI Service may ask for proof that you are the
legitimate owner of the motorcycle.
The codes for any keys not present during the memory
programming procedure are cancelled, to ensure that any
keys that may have been lost can no longer be used to
start the engine.
Notes
If you sell your motorcycle, do not forget to pass on
all the keys and the CODE CARD to the new owner.
