Ducati Hypermotard User Manual

The Immobilizer system
For improved anti-theft protection, the motorcycle is
equipped with an IMMOBILIZER, an electronic
system that inhibits engine operation whenever the
ignition switch is turned off.
Housed in the handgrip of each ignition key is an
electronic device that modulates an output signal.
When the ignition is turned on this signal is generated
by a special antenna incorporated in the switch and
changes every time.
The modulated signal represents the “password”
(which is changed at each start-up) by which the ECU
recognizes the ignition key. The ECU will only allow
the engine to start if it recognizes this password.
