Melcodiag - Works on the V4 to reset codes and service reminders!

[ArcticWhite]

For anyone interested, Melcodiag works for the V4 to reset DTC's as well as reset service reminders. I have been able to do both on my bike. I had the dealer return my bike to a stock tune with my aftermarket exhaust, so I threw an exhaust valve code which I was able to reset.

The items you need are: Diagnostic Interface for MelcoDiag TuneECU DDA with the Melcodiag software jpdiag

I did run into some issues licensing the software. I simply misunderstood where to paste the license info. Here is what you need to know:

The blue button in Melcodiag does not open chrome properly (you must use chrome browser). It is supposed to paste the info into the address line of chrome automatically, but instead whatever it pastes gets interpreted by chrome as multiple addresses which results in the opening of multiple tabs, each with only pieces of the info required.

If this happens, close chrome and re-open it. Clear the address line and hit ctrl-v in the address line (if you pressed the blue button in Melcodiag previously it puts a copy of the info in your clipboard as well as tries to open chrome). This should open a jpdiag page with all the info properly pasted into the page. Add your bike and email in the white boxes. Then you just have the press the send button in the page to submit it. You should then receive the license in about a day.

My problem was this: I didn't realize the info was supposed to be pasted into the ADDRESS LINE of chrome. From what is written in the license submission web page, there is a white box that says paste the jpdiag info in there. I was pasting the info into that white box and it does not work. The info is supposed to be pasted into the address line of chrome, which then populates that white box correctly!

It's great to have a solution that supports servicing the bike yourself! Even better that it is a very inexpensive solution.

Thanks for confirming this. Just ordered the cable from the link you provided. Fingers crossed it works for me too!

If this works on the Panigale V4s as well as my SF for things like the service light. Can it turn on heated grips, multimedia system, and other Ducati extras?

 

[ArcticWhite]

It will do DTC's and Service light. It will not program Ducati extras.

Doesn't seem to work to reset the annual service light, has anyone else had luck doing so?

That was my experience as well, it is able to read and reset errors but it is not able to reset the annual service light.

My cable just shipped from the UK.....looking forward to trying the software out. I have 7500 service and annual service due at the same time.....

That’s disappointing to hear. I just bought the same cable from UK.

There's 2 options, service reset and desmo reset. I hit both a few times and nothing.

I've been using the Melcodiag for a few years now on a 959 Panigale and a Monster 1200R.
Error reset YES
Service/oil reset NO.
Hopefully a solution to the latter is around the corner.

Sorry for the service light statement if it isn't working. What I have done is this: had a DTC for exhaust Valve and successfully cleared it. Although I didn't have a light up, I reset the service reminder and it showed successful. I took that to mean it works. To truly be proven, I would have had to have my light up. I will definitely try it on my next service light. If you have direct experience with it not resetting the service reminder, create a user account and post that up on the melcodiag user forum. The software creator is on there and should respond on whether it should work or not, and can likely fix the issue.

 

[DarR]

No worries. It would be nice to find a solution that clears the service reset light feature within Melcodiag. Resetting the service reminder is a good first step.
BTW, I have an account on the melcodiag user forum since 2017 although I have not posted there recently nor have I toyed with the software since last year.

i've read the jp forum, cant find anything about the siemens contitech m4d ecu?
to me it looks like u can do only common obd stuff as with any other obd tool?

I've also downloaded melcodiag, licensed it and found that it reads something. Not having errors or maintenance remainders right now, so not tested resetting. Would be nice, if they developed it some more to v4.
I also downloaded M3C9 software from same site. Should work with Siemens ecus. That's old software and it didn't communicate.

I've found it very hard to setup and use. I managed to read some fault codes, but a lot of guess work and luck getting there.
