Immobilizer System - Ducati MONSTER 1200 Owner's Manual

Immobilizer system

To further improve the anti-theft protection, the
motorcycle is equipped with an engine electronic
block system (IMMOBILIZER) that is automatically
activated every time the instrument panel is switched
off.
Inside of each key handgrip there is an electronic
device that modulates the signal sent by a special
antenna integrated in the ignition switch upon
starting.
Such modulated signal represents the "password",
that changes upon every starting, that allows the
control unit to acknowledge the key and thus starting
the engine.
