OBDSTAR iScan Ducati Review on Panigale V4 2021 Bike

OBDSTAR iSCAN Ducati diagnostic scanner is an absolute game changer for all Ducati owners!. We are able to service our bikes ourselves as enthusiasts.  The scanner allows us to get access into the ECU to turn off the service lights and do other diagnostic functions that are available electronically.

 

We jsut have already changed the oil and now just want to take care of the electronics.

Hook it up on your bike. We’re going to be able to reset our service intervals on our Panigale V4.

Click on Motodiag. Go into your settings firt. Make sure you are connected to the WiFi.

Click Ducati. Choose the latest Ducati software version.

Make sure your bike ignition is on.

We’re going to go to diagnosis you could go to auto identify your VIN number. It already read the VIN of the bike and so what it’s telling me right now it can’t pick the bike based off the VIN number because it’s a newer bike. So we’ll just click okay and then in here you could pick the type of bike you have and the first letter of it so this is a  Panigale V4. We pick P and it’s Euro 5 bike, so choose Panigale V4 E5 and obviously it picks it here model year 2021. Don’t forget 2021 for Europe is 2022 for the US. It is a Euro V model, so you need an extra M041 Ducati adapter.

We click okay and in here it has all your control modules, engine, ABS, BSS etc. Scroll down you will see that we have the service lamp reset. We click Model 21, in here you could read all your ECU information and you could go into your Special functions.

There’s a disclaimer and then it says password 1 2 3, just to make sure that you agree with going forward into the special functions menu. Click okay right here as you see there’s a lot of options that you get which is great. So you could see the date in the dashboard, your next annual service date. It is our first service so there’s not going to be anything demo service light reset.

So we want to First. Do the oil service light reset. Press OK to continue service warning light deactivation after the related time and or mileage service.

The new expiration date will be stored so this is saying that it’s going to put it a year down the line.

We are going to click OK and that’s 161124.

Don’t forget these European devices put the day month and then the year. That’s why it is 1611 and not 1116. You click OK and it says procedure completed. It is all done. We’ve reset our service light.

We put it for a year down and we could go to the annual service light deactivation.

What else you could do with thus device? You can read your DTCs which is your engine fault codes. This bike does not have any right now. If it did you could clear it.

You could see your ECU information if you wanted to see anything specifically in your ECU this is a good thing to have. If you are buying a used bike and you want to make sure all the VIN numbers of your black-box your ECU and your dash are matching, this is something very important. So you know that you are getting a legitimate bike.

If you go back you log out of that service lamp reset side of things we could go into the ECU which is our engine control unit and we could be running some of the commands over here.

You could see your ECU information again. You could read any engine fault codes. You could actually do a live data login. This is very useful and then you could do active tests. We want to do fuel pimp. Let’s click fuel pump. It should technically be able to activate the fuel pump.

You could do a lot of things here.

Then in the special functions. You could do the Adaptive reset of your TPS which is throttle position sensor and all the other stuff that you could reset is in here like your transmission values ,A/F self-adaptive, idel control adaptive, knock sensor adaptive.

Let’s get out of the engine control unit. If enter ABS you could do activate test. If go into Special functions we could actually run the ABS pump which it going to help bleeding your system a lot easier.

We should read fault codes of the ABS unit.

Go back into Meter section. You can do oil light service reset, reset your pin code. Some said the mileage correction function is not working. It’s not true. You have to activate mileage license to use this function.

Let’s go into BBS system which is out black-box. You can also read ECU info, view live data, do active test and perform special functions.

You could enable your anti-theft or heated grips which is pretty cool because anti- theft if you are building a track bike it’ll be very useful it has a bunch of calibrations and stuff.

Let’s see advance functions which is something different the other it ask to enter password 12345678.

You could synchronize your instrument cluster to your blackbox unit. If you had a dash failure and you got to change your dash it’s useful.

The function is not something that usually is available to end consumers just for security measures and if you look here there’s a couple more things like the suspension control unit we already went into the service lamp reset function.Also you could set your Bluetooth for these bikes that have Bluetooth connectivity.

 

Previously, Ducati bikes were at the mercy of dealerships and shops for removing the pesky service lights, but there is finally a solution out there for the guys who like to work on their own bikes. With the OBDStart iScan, we can now reset all service lights, check codes, run ABS pumps (this helps greatly with bleeding brakes), and much more!

So the OBDSTAR iScan Ducati scanner is able to reset service lights also it does a lot of other diagnostic features.
