Description of the Ducati Diagnostic System instrument
The Ducati Diagnostic System (DDS) is used for diagnosis of the injection-ignition system via a serial line connection. The system
is also equipped with functions to test various devices on the motorcycle. The DDS tester can be used to measure current and
voltage on any electrical device, to perform tests on individual components and to measure pressure and temperature values.
The DDS tester (1) is comprised of a palmtop display unit (A), a BBAD self-diagnosis module (B), a display memory card (C) and
a BBAD memory card (D).
The touch-screen display unit (A) serves for both data display and input, using the stylus housed on the side of the unit.
The self-diagnosis module (B) enables communication between the DDS tester (1) and the motorcycle’s on-board electronic
control unit (ECU).
The user interface software resides in the display memory card (C) which is housed in the palm-top display unit (A).
The software that enables communication with DUCATI ECUs resides in the BBAD memory card (D), which is housed in the
BBAD self-diagnosis module (B).
