JPDIAG Panigale 1199 WARNING with UPMAP - Don't plug it in!!!!!
Hi All, I followed this thread when I hit the problem of the "Racing" not appearing at power up. So my scenario is I plugged in the latest version of the JPDIAG software and selected the bike. It popped up with the message about if UPMAP is loaded etc. I did nothing, did not even go into any reset areas. The software was able to read the bike and provided all the info. BUT when I unplugged and re-powered on the bike the "Racing" was gone.
I emailed JPDIAG who said that was odd as I had not registered the software yet and hence it can only "read" the bike and certainly could not write back to the bike.
I tried the dongle but as others have said, it said the map was already on the bike.
So what it looks like is the UpMAP for "Racing" is already on the bike. When you "Load" the stick, it triggers the bike to activate the map AND writes to the stick to say it has been "used". When you plug the stick in again, I presume it then deactivates the map and marks the stick as "unused".
So, my theory was that the bike noticed the JPDIAG tool and thought it was a stick and therefore deactivated the map. BUT then of course the bike and stick are now out of sync with the bike having no map and the stick saying it has been used. Symptoms other recorded in this thread.
I took the bike to a Ducati Dealer and also wrote to Ducati explaining the situation. Their response was I have attached a non Ducati component to the bike so bad luck. I went back to them and explained that I had plugged effectively an OBD2 standard device into my bike and had effectively "Bricked" it ie it should run the Termi pipes with the map. Who knows what happens if you run a non termi map with the pipes on. If there are issues they will refer to Termi with wrong map destroyed the bike I am sure. So I pushed the OBD2 standard path again which in Australia is a requirement for vehicles and told them again this was not fit for purpose to have the OBD2 port that does not behave properly.
I acknowledged the bike was out of warranty and that I would pay for any labour and reasonable costs to put the bike back. Their solution, buy the Pipe set again. What The!!!!!
More emails and threats of a product not fit for purpose, ie OBD2 standard stuffs it, and they started working with a dealer. They were reluctant at first but then I think they and Ducati must have spoken and they offered to help. They happened to have an unused key I could purchase, which I did, but other than that there was no solution. This is not a good thing as eventually there will be no more keys around.
so BE CAREFUL with these maps. They are fragile and hate playing with other parts. I am even too afraid now to unload the map to see if that process works as if it fails, I am back to square 1. Oh and now I am locked into maintenance being done by a dealer. A pain as I have always done my own work. Had a 2004 GSXR750 which I basically stripped and put back together. That will not be happening with the Pani now. Not that it needs it just yet but in 10 years time, who knows what Electronic jiggerry pokery is required and will not be available.
Hope this saves someone.
