data tool veto evo immobiliser problem

I was riding my 4 year old 13,000 miles duc 996 on saturday when the
engine stoped running as if the ignition had been switched off , the
bike came to halt from 70mph , I pushed it to a safe bit of the road to
remove the side faring panel which houses the relays etc , I suspected
the side stand relay of not closing but after several movements of the
stand and the relay clicking i ruled this out , then the safety relay
closes which then supplies the fuelling and ignition relay main
contacts , now this relay is switched by the ecu , and i now suspect
the veto evo imobiliser , after tapping the alarm unit with it in
service mode ,ignition on ,side stand up it came to life..... do's
anybody have any knowledge of these alarms ,is this a familiar story ,
can i get a replacement part for the alarm ?( sadly an insurance
requirment)

Hope somebody can help.

Cheers
Ian

 

The circuit board inside the unit can get that whitish green crud stuff
build up and cause problems. I went to ProTec near Brentwood - which is
near me and watched the bloke open the unit, wipe the board clean with
cloth and it has been fine since. <Touches wood...>

 

I had a Veto fixed under warranty. There's just a circuit board, speaker and
battery in the box. The bloke replaced the circuit board. That's all I know,
sorry.

I found Datatool were quite helpful by email trying to diagnose the fault.

TBH though, your best bet is to get your Ducati dealer to establish where
the problem lies. You don't want to risk losing electrical power again.

Can't help, but are you related to a physics teacher called Phil, by
any chance? That surname can't be all that common.
