Dear gentlemen,

I was riding on my bike Panigale 1299S 2016 (only 5.600km) and when I get 299 suddenly my engine literally shut down... looking a video when I reached speed of 299km/h the panel decreased to 287 then trips the engine.

No strange sounds, oil leakage or any other "bad signal" appeared.

All the errors appeared:

SCU - Engine - ABS - DES

now I cannot start the engine anymore...


PLEASE HELP!!!!! WHAT SHOULD I DO:confused:
 
In addition my bike never had any problems and it has installed K&N air filter, everything in brand new condition!
 
Can you post the video you're referring too? It seems like a loose coil or injector connector, also what shows on the display when key on only? Without trying to start the engine

The video does not show nothing special...

1. I put full throtlle until reach 299km/h
2. It was shown 1 second after 287km/h
3. it was shown a red strip left/right direction showing all the errors mentioned SCU-DES-ABS-Engine
4. engine shut off


Now when I put the key and turn to ignition the bike initializes the panel normaly showing Ducati logo and a few seconds all the listed errors pop up... also abs shows off... dtc... off... quick shifter off...


Please I am really really REALLY scared!! I had similar problem with my brand new xdiavel and they refunded the money after 3 months without solution:eek:
 
Do you have melcodiag and obd cable to read what codes are stored on ECU?
Something happened to me I was doing 174mph it was bad chip on the ECU that stores the firmware, basically ECU did not know what type of bike it was, do you have access to a second ECU to test?

No, I don't have a way to read my ECU.
 
Maybe the speed sensor? I've never seen the dash display "0" like that when the bike is moving.
 
i suggest tightening down your battery cables/terminals. Twins vibrate those things quite a bit, and they do get loose. Bet that's it.....

If the battery cables are not connected why the bike turns on normally the panel? I don't know if this is the case...
 
If they are connected but lose, there is not enough current to run the bike but there may be enough to turn some panel lights on. I would check the ground cables on both ends and the positive battery cable too. Bad grounds can cause really weird ECU issues on modern machines with various sensors and a CAN bus architecture ......ask any 911 owner about that.....especially the ones with PDK.
 
It happened to me last June (75F at night, engine temp about 105F) on my 2017 1299 Base with about 4,200 miles...in the fast lane (like in your video)! Stalled and had my speed frozen on the display - let's just say I'm glad a cop didn't stop by to check it out. Ended up being a blown fuse, no error codes. Dealer could not replicate the issue and tested for a week, they said it could've been a defective fuse. I've had no issues since, but I keep extra fuses and tools with me. I've read about harness issues as well, but I've taken the time to get over it and not worry anymore. That's why I took the extended warranty :)

FINAL RESOLUTION OF MY ISSUE:

Burned FUSE. We just change it and my bike is alive again simple like that.

I hope this post helps all other ducatisti!

Thank you to all!
