Ducati 1198 Fault Codes
Ducati 1198 motorcycles have engines, which are made up of many different parts. These parts must work together in order for the engine to function. A problem with one of the parts can make the engine not run. There are many different parts that make up an engine. The following ducati 1198 faults are the list of some of the parts of a motorcycle engine.
The oil level of Ducati 1198 should be the same level in the dipstick, even when the engine is cold. You can check the oil level by removing the dipstick, holding the dipstick in your hand, and then reinserting the dipstick. Then, you’ll be able to see where the oil level is.
Ducati 1198 Faults :
The warning light comes on when one of the various sensors has detected an abnormal condition in the Ducati 1198 engine's performance. For example, if the oil pressure drops below a certain threshold or if the air/fuel ratio rises beyond a certain point, then this would cause an immediate alert from your vehicle's engine management system.
Error indication
The instrument panel manages error warnings in order to allow the rider to identify any abnormal vehicle behaviour in real time. Upon Key-On, if there are errors the instrument panel displays the indication of the present errors and turns on the EOBD light. During vehicle normal operation, any time an error warning is activated, the instrument panel automatically displays the error indication and turns on the EOBD light. When an error is triggered, the indication remains well visible for 5 seconds ('large' icon) then becomes smaller ('small' icon). If several errors are present, the corresponding icons will be displayed one after the other and every one will stay on for 3 seconds. When an errors triggered the EOBD light turns on as well.

These abbreviations, and the accompanying list of trouble codes, can be a great start when your Ducati check engine light comes on. As mentioned above, if you are not comfortable with electrical diagnostic work, a dealership or qualified technician can offer assistance. Please keep in mind that even though you have the ability to clear a DTC using the onboard diagnostic feature, you shouldn't clear the code prior to your service appointment. Let the technician view and clear the codes as they troubleshoot the issue.
