Ok, I'm no expert but this seems bad... (Dash throwing rave party.)

Check the connector under the seat, towards the front. A lil hard to get too. But try unplugging, drying and reconnecting. Or just hit up the shop.
 
I haven't touched the harness. I've made no electronic modifications. Happened turning it on today after Sunday's wet ride.

Wasn't someone posting the other day about some weird electronic issues after an extended ride in the rain? I'll go poke around for it.

EDIT - Cobra beat me to it. That sounds like the same connector the guy was talking about the other day.
 
The error codes aren't very specific, in fact they point to a region on the bike where it could start. I had an engine error code and the dealer diagnostics said it was a can bus error. They said it could any of 50 different things and they had to start in one place and move on from there. They finally said it was moisture in one of the connectors to my BBS unit. Took then 2 days to find it.

Here's a post by a member here, found in this thread- "Hi, I recently had this problem. My 1199 (6,500km / MY2012 base) was in with the dealer to have its rear tyre replaced. Picking her up in the afternoon, I went to start it and it all went a bit haywire. Engine mis-timed badly and stalled, hazard lights flashed and the console read out "CAN LINE" error with most of the lights on the dash lit up.

(I've already had the dash replaced due to the well-known indicator switch fault).

The tech plugged it in to the Ducati computer, which reported every subsystem on the bike as a FAIL. You couldn't even hear the fuel pump powering up when you keyed her on. So it spent the next week in the shop.

A week later the dealer called up to say that they'd put the bike through a "10 hour reboot sequence" and all was OK again. Sure enough, it looks normal now.

My suspicion is that the CAN LINE has a component that isn't water tight, as I'd washed the bike (bucket) 2 days before the tyre service.

From reading this thread, looks like I'll need to strip down some bits to check if there are corroding connectors..."
 
Connector just in front of the black rubber box. Believe that's the traction control box?
 
Will check bbs, saw that error. Makes sense eyeing under the seat.

He dried it out with a heat gun, then put some sort of sealant around it. I haven't had the bike out in serious rain and never washed it. But, it was cutting out while on throttle, actually 70+ mph on the freeway. Just died. :eek:
 
You don't want the i CANT, i CAN is cool. Other codes:

i HOT (actually an error, as it is never hot)
i LOUD
i FAST
 
THANK YOU PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY HELPED!

It was the BBS. Unplugged, applied heat gun, plugged back in, WORKS!

Seriously, thank you so much guys. I was furious...
 
And I thank you anyone who didn't actually help, for providing some much needed humor to this mostly boring/drab forum.
