My bike DWC light came on and read error and check engine light is now on? Has anyone experienced this before.

The DWC (Ducati Wheelie Control) light coming on, along with an error message and check engine light, on your 2022 Ducati Panigale V2, could indicate a few possible issues:

Possible Causes & Solutions
  1. Sensor Malfunction or Calibration Issue
    • The DWC system relies on wheel speed sensors and the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). If there's a calibration issue or a sensor fault, the system might throw an error.
    • Solution: Try turning the bike off and restarting it. If the light remains, check the wheel speed sensors for dirt, damage, or loose connections.
  2. Traction Control or IMU-Related Issue
    • The DWC is closely tied to DTC (Ducati Traction Control) and other electronic assists. A fault in one of these systems can trigger warnings.
    • Solution: Check if your traction control settings have been altered. You may also try resetting the system via the settings menu.
  3. Battery or Electrical Glitch
    • Low battery voltage or a temporary ECU glitch could cause false errors.
    • Solution: If the bike has been sitting for a while or the battery is weak, consider charging it or doing a battery disconnect reset (disconnect the battery for a few minutes, then reconnect it).
  4. Wheel Speed Sensor Issue
    • If the bike recently had a tire change, chain adjustment, or wheel cleaning, the wheel speed sensor might be misaligned or dirty.
    • Solution: Inspect the wheel speed sensor and its wiring near the front and rear wheels.
  5. Firmware or ECU Error
    • Some Ducati owners have reported random electronic faults that required a dealer ECU update.
    • Solution: If the issue persists, take the bike to a Ducati dealer for a diagnostic scan and firmware update.
  6. Actual Mechanical Issue
    • If the bike was ridden aggressively or had a sudden traction loss, the system might have triggered a safety mode.
    • Solution: If the bike is running rough or the check engine light stays on, avoid hard riding until it's checked by a professional.
What Should You Do?
  • Check for loose/damaged sensors.
  • Try a soft reset (turn off the bike, wait a few minutes, restart).
  • Check battery voltage (ensure it's above 12.6V when off and around 14V when running).
  • Scan for fault codes (if you have an OBD scanner with a Ducati adapter, it can help identify the exact issue).
  • If in doubt, visit a Ducati dealer for diagnostics.
