“DIAGNOSIS” function allows to perform a physical analisys

of the signals transmitted to the ECU by the various elements
connected to it: sensors (input signals) and actuators (output
signals).
The operations are on-screen guided and are available for
various Aprilia models.

Available models:
HABANA 50
LEONARDO 125 C.D.I.
RSVMille
SCARABEO 50
SR 50 DITECH

CHANNEL 1

“SIV” (Signal Information Viewing”) TEST PROCEDURE

The available tests with this kind of diagnosis are “user friendly”:

- The different tests become available only if the signal of the device to analise is
compatible with the specific test.
- The signal is compared with treshold values that are stored in AXONE2000 memory
card for every selectable model. If the signal passes the treshold value is considered
an error and an acoustic alarm sounds.

STANDARD “SIV” TESTS AND GENERAL USE SPECS:

• STARTUP LEVEL à views the signal’s curve and detects wrong signal values in the
critical engine startup phase.

• LINEARITY à views the signal’s curve and checks the signal’s linearity.

• MIN / MED / MAX à views the signal’s curve and stores the minimum / medium /
maximum values reached.

• MISSED SIGNALS AT STARTUP à counts the missed signals through the sudden
frequency variations (example: magnetic sensors or “Hall” sensors diagnosis).

19
 Choose one of the available
“SIV” tests.
Confirm with ENTER.

TEST TYPE:
1. Single (one single screenshot of acquisition)
2. Continous (continous acquisition)
Make a choice then press ENTER.
The test begins.

>> OSCILLOSCOPE SCREENSHOT <<

The dot lines represent the borderlines where the

signal has to be considered normal for the selected
vehicle. The vehicle’s data are already stored in
AXONE2000’s memory card. Every time the signal
passes the borderlines, an error is registered.

SINGLE ACQUISITION: the test stops with only one

graphic screenshot
CONTINOUS ACQUISITION: the test stops only if an
anomaly is detected. Press ENTER to stop the acquisition.
The anomaly is highlighted by an acoustic / visual warning
signal.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS 6
OBD MODULE REQUIRED. Switch AXONE2000 off and insert
the OBD module.

ECU-CONNECTION CABLE and BATTERY CONNECTION

CABLE REQUIRED.
THE BATTERY CONNECTION CABLE HAS TO BE
CONNECTED WITH THE VEHICLE’S BATTERY AND NOT
TO AN EXTERNAL BATTERY TO ALLOW THE
COMMUNICATION.

The self-diagnosis system reads the information

communicating directly with the ECU unit of the bike.

It is possible to:
- Read the functioning parameters of all the devices
connected to the ECU unit.
- Read directly the fault codes.
- Adjust some engine management parameters.

1. ECU-connection cable
2. AXONE2000 connector
3. Motorbike’s ECU connector
4. Electrical feeding connector
5. Battery connection cable

WAVE SIGNAL’S SYNCHRONICITY

The wave form is stabilized thanks to a signal generated by AXONE 2000’s CPU.

INTERNAL SYNCHRONICITY (INT)

Synchronisation allows to “freeze” the signal on the screen starting from a certain level of
voltage amplitude (signal’s link in amplitude). The signal is viewed only over a certain level
of voltage amplitude and always in the same position of the screen.
We can also select the signal’s link on the time axis, in order to have the horizontal
centering of the signal on the screen.

Procedure à select the INT key moving with the arrow keys
press ENTER
adjust the positioning of the two small blinking cursors (one for the “V”
axis, one for the “T” axis) with the arrow keys
“V” AXIS CURSOR: indicates the link point (polarity and amplitude
level) of the synchronized signal.
“T” AXIS CURSOR: indicates the starting point of the synchronized
signal, translated to the right in comparison to the standard zero
position (left of the screen).

EXTERNAL SYNCHRONICITY
Function not available.

MANUAL SYNCHRONICITY
Select the MAN key moving with the arrow keys.
Press ENTER to start the signal’s reading.
The synchronicity is still the one selected with the INTERNAL SYNCHRONICITY function
(see above), but the signal’s reading starts manually pressing ENTER key.
Press ENTER again to start a new reading, which will be overlapped to the previous one,
alowing the signals’ comparison.
