MARELLI 5.9M ECU

ECU - Ducati IAW-59M ECU made by Magneti Marelli . Replaced the much larger P8. First CANBUS ECU. First fully re-programmable ECU - lots of tuning software, cables. maps and definition files. The new and much more compact 5.9M Marelli was 80 grams lighter than the old P8 ECU, with a new 20Mhz processor, compared to the P8s 16Mhz. The memory was increased from 8 to 32MB and the system provided much more efficient engine management. Rather than the P8 system which used a separate RPM sensor and injection timing sensor, the new 5.9M was similar in design to the 1.6M with a single inductive pickup. This faced the timing gear, reading the 46 teeth and a gap equal in size to two teeth, but still required accurate meshing of the crankshaft and timing gears to provide perfect RPM information. [2] Ducati dealership service centres could purchase updated Memory Card version 0.6 for their Tecnomotor Mathesis diagnostic units to 5.9M compatibility. It should be noted however that full support for the 5.9M came with Memory Card version 0.7 which added "New functions, such as belt tension and new control unit error management" per the Mathesis operating instruction manual.
