This section describes the general specifications of the vehicle.

Rules

This section describes general safety rules for any maintenance operations performed on the vehicle.

Safety rules

- If work can only be done on the vehicle with the engine running, make sure that the premises are well
ventilated, using special extractors if necessary; never let the engine run in an enclosed area. Exhaust
fumes are toxic.
- The battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid. Protect your eyes, clothes and skin. Sulphuric acid is
highly corrosive; in the event of contact with your eyes or skin, rinse thoroughly with abundant water
and seek immediate medical attention.
- The battery produces hydrogen, a gas that can be highly explosive. Do not smoke and avoid sparks
or flames near the battery, especially when charging it.
- Fuel is highly flammable and it can be explosive given some conditions. Do not smoke in the working
area, and avoid naked flames or sparks.
- Clean the brake pads in a well-ventilated area, directing the jet of compressed air in such a way that
you do not breathe in the dust produced by the wear of the friction material. Even though the latter
contains no asbestos, inhaling dust is harmful.

Maintenance rules

- Use original PIAGGIO spare parts and lubricants recommended by the Manufacturer. Non-original or
non-conforming spare parts may damage the vehicle.
- Use only the appropriate tools designed for this vehicle.
- Always use new gaskets, sealing rings and cotter pins upon refitting.
- After removal, clean the components using non-flammable or low flash-point solvents. Lubricate all
the work surfaces, except tapered couplings, before refitting these parts.
- After refitting, make sure that all the components have been installed correctly and work properly.
- Use only equipment with metric sizes for removal, service and reassembly operations. Metric bolts,
nuts and screws are not interchangeable with coupling members using English measurements. Using
unsuitable coupling members and tools may damage the vehicle.
- When carrying out maintenance operations on the vehicle that involve the electrical system, make
sure the electrical connections have been made properly, particularly the ground and battery connec-
tions.

- The main bushings have 2 half-bearings, 1 with

and 1 without the lubrication channel.
- The solid half-bearing is intended to stand the
thrusts caused by combustion, and for this reason
it is arranged opposite the cylinder.
- To prevent shutters in the oil feeding channels,
the matching surface of the two half-bearings must
be perfectly orthogonal to the cylinder axis, as
shown in the photo.

- The section of the oil feeding channels is also

influenced by the driving depth of the bushings.
- Visually check the wear of the bushings: in the
coupling ends shown in the photo the bushing usu-
ally keeps the original look, check in the rest of the
bushing if there is evident removal of material. If

Measurement of crankcase halves - crankshaft coupling clearance

- The nominal diameters of the bushings, even if of the same coupling category, may differ by hun-
dredths due to the plastic slackening of the material of the crankcase due to the driving load.
- Measure along the axis of the «A» cylinder, using a bore meter at two depths indicated in the figure,
the diameter of the bushings.
- After measuring the two diameters, take the average.

- Check that there are no signs of wear on the mating surface with the set screw articulated terminal.

- If no anomalies are found during the above checks, you can use the same valves. To obtain better
sealing performance, grind the valve seats. Grind the valves gently with a fine-grained lapping com-
pound. During the grinding, keep the cylinder head with the valve axes in a horizontal position. This will
prevent the lapping compound residues from penetrating between the valve stem and the guide (see
figure).

Engine oil

In four-stroke engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the timing elements, the bench bearings and
the head-engine block-piston assembly. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage
to the engine.
In all four stroke engines, the deterioration of the oil characteristics, or a certain consumption should
be considered normal, especially if during the run-in period. Consumption levels in particular can be
influenced by the conditions of use (e.g.: oil consumption increases when driving at "full throttle".

Replacement

Change oil and replace filter as indicated in the

scheduled maintenance table. The engine must be
emptied by draining off the oil through the drainage
plug of the mesh pre-filter, flywheel side; further-
more to facilitate oil drainage, loosen or remove
the cap/dipstick. Once all the oil has drained
through the drainage hole, unscrew the oil car-
tridge filter and remove it.
Make sure the pre-filter and drainage plug O-rings
are in good conditions.
Lubricate them and refit the mesh filter and the oil
drainage plug, screwing them up to the prescribed
torque.
Refit the new cartridge filter being careful to lubri-
cate the O-ring before fitting it.
Change the engine oil.
Since a certain quantity of oil still remains in the
circuit, oil must be filled from oil dipstick/cover.
Then start up the vehicle, leave it running for a few
minutes and switch it off: After about five minutes,
check the level and, if necessary, top-up but never
exceeding the MAX level reference mark. The car-
tridge filter must be replaced every time the oil is
changed. Use new oil of the recommended type
for topping up and changing purposes.
N.B.
THE ENGINE MUST BE HOT WHEN THE OIL IS CHANGED.

MAIN - 48
Vespa Primavera S-Sprint S 125-150 i.e. 3V ABS TFT E4 Maintenance

Check

This operation must be carried out with the engine cold and following the procedure below:
- Place the vehicle on its centre stand and on flat ground.
- Undo cap/dipstick, dry it off with a clean cloth and reinsert it, screwing down completely.
- Remove the cap/dipstick again and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX reference marks;
top-up, if required.
The MAX level mark indicates a quantity of around 1,220 cm³ of engine oil. If the check is carried out
after the vehicle has been used, and therefore with a hot engine, the level will be lower; in order to carry
out a correct check, wait at least 10 minutes after the engine has been stopped so as to get the correct
level.

Engine oil top-up

The oil should be topped up after having checked
the level and in any case by adding oil without
ever exceeding the MAX. level.

Engine oil filter

Change oil and replace filter as indicated in the scheduled maintenance table. Use new oil of the rec-
ommended type for topping up and changing purposes.
Make sure the pre-filter and drainage plug O-rings are in good conditions. Lubricate them and refit the
mesh filter and the oil drainage plug, screwing them up to the prescribed torque. Refit the new cartridge
filter being careful to lubricate the O-ring before fitting it. Change the engine oil.

Oil pressure warning light

The vehicle is equipped with a tell-tale light on the

instrument cluster that lights up when the key is
turned to the «ON» position. However, this light
should come off once the engine has been started.
If the light turns on during braking, at idling
speed or while turning a corner, it is necessary
to check the oil level and the lubrication sys-
tem.

MAIN - 49
Maintenance Vespa Primavera S-Sprint S 125-150 i.e. 3V ABS TFT E4

Checking the ignition timing

Position the engine at top dead centre (TDC) in

compression. To do this, use the appropriate tools.
Use the holes on the engine crankcase to secure
the tool.
Position the specific tool in the window between
the flywheel pick-up references as illustrated in the
figure.
The arrows stamped respectively on the valve
frame and sprocket must coincide.
N.B.
IF THE TIMING UNIT IS NOT IN PHASE CHECK THE COR-
RECT FITTING OF COMPONENTS.

- As a further verification of the correct distribution

timing, insert a pin into the hole on the gear of the
camshaft and check that it coincides with the spe-
cial blind hole on the frame of the head.

Checking the valve clearance

To remove the head cover:

- Remove the rear shock absorber.
- Remove the helmet compartment.
- Lift the body.
- Remove the clamp of the H.V. wire.
To check valve clearance, centre the reference
marks of the timing system.
Use a feeler gauge to check that the clearance
between the valve and the set screw corresponds

Battery

BATTERY
Possible Cause Operation
Battery The battery is the electrical device in the system that requires
the most frequent inspections and thorough maintenance. If the
vehicle is not used for some time (1 month or more) the battery
needs to be recharged periodically. The battery runs down
completely in the course of 5 - 6 months. If the battery is fitted
on a motorcycle, be careful not to invert the connections, keep-
ing in mind that the black ground wire is connected to the
negative terminal while the red wire is connected to the terminal
marked+. Follow the instructions in the ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
chapter for the recharging of the batteries.

Steering and suspensions

Heavy steering

STEERING HARDENING
Possible Cause Operation
Steering hardening Check the tightening of the top and bottom ring nuts. If irregu-
larities continue in turning the steering even after making the
above adjustments, check the seats in which the ball bearings
rotate: replace them if they are recessed or if the balls are flat-
tened.

Excessive steering play

EXCESSIVE STEERING CLEARANCE

Possible Cause Operation
Excessive steering clearance Check the tightening of the top ring nut. If irregularities continue
in turning the steering even after making the above adjust-
ments, check the seats in which the ball bearings rotate: re-
place if they are recessed.

Noisy suspension

NOISY SUSPENSION
Possible Cause Operation
Noisy suspension If the front suspension is noisy, check: that the front shock ab-
sorber works properly and the ball bearings are good condition.
Finally, check the locking torque of the wheel axle nut, the
brake calliper and the disc. Check that the swinging arm con-
necting the engine to the frame and the rear shock absorber
work properly.

Suspension oil leakage

OIL LEAKAGE FROM SUSPENSION

Possible Cause Operation
Faulty or broken seals Replace the shock absorber. Check the condition of wear of
the steering covers and the adjustments.

Immobiliser

The electronic ignition system is controlled by the injection electronic control unit with the integrated
Immobilizer system. The immobilizer is an anti-theft system which allows the vehicle to work only if it
is activated by means of the coded keys that the control unit recognises. The code is stored in a trans-

ELE SYS - 88
Vespa Primavera S-Sprint S 125-150 i.e. 3V ABS TFT E4 Electrical system

ponder installed in the body of the key. This allows the driver clear operation without having to do
anything other than just turning the key.
The Immobilizer system consists of the following components: - injection electronic control unit. - im-
mobilizer antenna - master key with built-in transponder - reserve key - diagnostic led on the instrument
panel
The diagnosis LED also works as a theft-deterrent blinker. This function is activated every time the
ignition switch is turned to the "OFF" position, or the emergency stop switch is turned to the "OFF"
position. It remains activated for 48 hours in order not to affect the battery charge. When the ignition
switch is turned to "ON", it interrupts the function of the Immobilizer lamp and a start enable lamp comes
"ON". The length of time the lamp remains for depends on the control unit settings.
The diagnostic LED is normally mounted on the instrument panel and receives its power supply directly
from the battery. It is controlled by the injection electronic control unit via a negative signal. If the LED
is extinguished, irrespective of the position of the ignition switch and/or the instrument panel does not
initialise, check: - that the emergency stop button functions correctly; - the connection line used to
manage the diagnostic LED, between the injection electronic control unit and the instrument panel; -
the connection line between the injection electronic control unit and the emergency stop switch.

NOTE: CONSULT THE SPECIFIC ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT DIAGRAM FOR THE VEHICLE WHEN
CARRYING OUT THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS
Emergency stop button check
1. Disconnect the emergency stop button electrical connector and carry out a continuity check on the
connection lines to the injection electronic control unit; 2. Carry out a continuity check on the connection
line between emergency stop button and ground. 3. Using a multimeter, check that the emergency stop
button functions correctly; connect the terminals of the multimeter between the two pins on the switch
that are connected to ground and the injection electronic control unit. Press the button and check that
it functions correctly.
Electronic injection control unit check
1. Disconnect the connector from the injection electronic control unit. 2. Make sure that the connection
line between the injection electronic control unit and the instrument panel (diagnostic LED management
line) is not shorted to the battery. 3. Carry out a continuity test on the connection line between the
injection electronic control unit and the instrument pane (diagnostic LED management line).
If no faults are found, replace the injection electronic control unit.
Instrument panel check
1. Disconnect the instrument panel electrical connector. 2. Make sure that the connection line between
the injection electronic control unit and the instrument panel (diagnostic LED management line) is not
shorted to the battery. 3. Carry out a continuity test on the connection line between the engine electronic
control unit and the instrument pane (diagnostic LED management line).
If no other faults are found, replace the instrument panel.

After removing the leg shield back plate, remove

the electrical connection from the antenna as
shown in the picture.

Remove the protective base from the connector.

With the ignition switch at ON check there is bat-

tery voltage between the Red-White and Black
cables

The electronic ignition system is controlled by the control unit with the integrated Immobilizer system.
The Immobilizer is an antitheft system which allows the vehicle to function only if it is activated by means
of the coded keys that the control unit recognises. The code is integrated in a transponder in the key
block. This allows the driver clear operation without having to do anything other than just turning the
key. The Immobilizer system consists of the following components:
- Control unit
- Immobilizer antenna
- master and service keys with built-in transponder
- H.V. coil
- diagnosis LED
The diagnosis LED also works as a theft-deterrent blinker. This function is activated every time the
ignition switch is turned to "OFF" and it remains active 48 hours so as not to damage the battery charging
process.

ELE SYS - 90
Vespa Primavera S-Sprint S 125-150 i.e. 3V ABS TFT E4 Electrical system

When the ignition switch is turned to "ON", it interrupts the function of the Immobilizer lamp and a start
enable lamp comes "ON".
The duration of the flash depends on the programming of the electronic control unit.
If the LED is off regardless of the position of the ignition switch and/or the instrument panel is not
initiated, check if:
- there is battery voltage
- the control unit is supplied.

Virgin circuit

When the ignition system is not encoded, any key can operate the engine limited to 2,000 rpm. The
keys can only be recognised if the control unit has been programmed properly.
The memorisation procedure of a new control unit provides for the recognition of the MASTER as the
first key to be saved: this becomes particularly important because it is the only key that enables
the control unit to be wiped clean and reprogrammed for the memorisation of the service keys.

The Master and service keys must be used to code

the system as follows:
- Insert the Master key «A», switch to «ON» and
maintain this position for 2 seconds (limit values 1

- Insert the service key «B» and switch to «ON»
for 2 seconds.
If you have duplicate copies of the service key, re-
peat the operation for each key.
- Insert the Master key again and turn it to «ON »
for 2 seconds.

The maximum time to change keys is 10 seconds.

A maximum of 3 service keys can be programmed at one time.
The times and the procedure must be followed exactly, otherwise repeat from the beginning.
Once the system has been programmed, master key transponder, decoder and control unit are
strictly matched.
With this link established, it is now possible to encode new service keys, in the event of losses, re-
placements, etc.
Each new programming deletes the previous one so, in order to add or eliminate keys, you must
repeat the procedure using all the keys you intend to keep using.

If a service key becomes uncoded, the efficiency

of the high voltage circuit shielding must be thor-
oughly inspected. In any case it is advisable to use
resistive spark plugs.

Characteristic
Shielded cap resistance
~ 5,000 Ω

When the ignition system is not encrypted, any key

will start the engine but limited to 2,000 rpm. The
keys can only be recognised if the control unit has
been programmed properly. The data storage pro-
cedure for a previously not programmed control
unit provides for the recognition of the Master as
the first key to be stored to memory: this becomes
particularly important because it is the only key
that enables the control unit to be wiped clean and
reprogrammed for the memorisation of the service
keys. The Master and service keys must be used
to code the system as follows:
- Insert the Master key, turn it to «ON» and keep
this position for two seconds (lower and upper lim-
its 1 - 3 seconds).
- Insert the service key and turn it to "ON" for 2
seconds.
- If you have copies of the key, repeat the operation
with each key.
- Insert the MASTER key again and turn it to «ON»
for 2 seconds.
The maximum time to change keys is 10 seconds.
A maximum of 7 service keys can be programmed
at one time.
It is essential to adhere to the times and the pro-
cedure. If you do not, start again from the begin-
ning. Once the system has been programmed, the
master key transponder is strictly matched with the
control unit. With this link established, it is now

ELE SYS - 92
Vespa Primavera S-Sprint S 125-150 i.e. 3V ABS TFT E4 Electrical system

possible to encode new service keys, in the event

of losses, replacements, etc. Each new program-
ming deletes the previous one so, in order to add
or eliminate keys, you must repeat the procedure
using all the keys you intend to keep using. If a
service key becomes uncoded, the efficiency of
the high voltage circuit shielding must be thor-

resistive spark plugs.

Diagnostic codes

The Immobilizer system is tested each time the

Ignition switch is turned from «OFF» to «ON».
During this diagnosis phase a number of control
unit statuses can be identified and various light
codes displayed. Regardless of the code transmit-
ted, if at the end of the diagnosis the LED remains
off permanently, the ignition is enabled. If, howev-
er, the LED remains on permanently, it means the
ignition is inhibited:
1. Previously unused control unit - key inser-
ted: a single 2 second flash is displayed, after
which the LED remains off permanently. The keys
can be stored to memory, the vehicle can be star-
ted but with a limitation imposed on the number of
revs.
2. Previously unused control unit - transpond-
er absent or cannot be used: the LED is on
permanently. In this condition no operations are
possible including the start up of the vehicle.

ELE SYS - 93
Electrical system Vespa Primavera S-Sprint S 125-150 i.e. 3V ABS TFT E4

3. Programmed control unit - the service key in

(normal condition of use): a single 0.7-second
flash is displayed, after which the LED remains off
steadily. The engine can be started.
4. Programmed control unit - Master key in: a
0.7-sec flash is displayed followed by the LED re-
maining off for 2 sec.

5. Programmed control unit - fault detected: a light code is displayed according to the fault detected,
after which the LED remains on steadily. The engine cannot be started, but the operation of the starter
motor is not disabled. The codes that can be transmitted are:

• 1-flash code
• 2-flash code
• 3-flash code

Diagnostic code - 1 flash

A one-flash code indicates a system where the se-

rial line is not present or is not detected. Check the
Immobilizer antenna wiring and change it if nec-
essary.

Diagnostic code - 2 flashes

A two-flash code shows a system where the con-

trol unit does not show the transponder signal. This
might depend on the inefficiency of the Immobilizer
antenna or the transponder.
Turn the switch to ON using several keys: if the
code is repeated even with the Master key, check
the antenna wiring and change it if necessary. If
this is not the case, replace the defective key and/
or reprogram the control unit. Replace the control
unit if the problem continues.

ELE SYS - 94
Vespa Primavera S-Sprint S 125-150 i.e. 3V ABS TFT E4 Electrical system

Diagnostic code - 3 flashes

A three-flash code indicates a system where the

control unit does not recognise the key. Turn the
switch to ON using several keys: if the error code
is repeated even with the Master key, replace the
control unit. If this is not the case, reprogram the
decoder.

Battery recharge circuit

The charging circuit consists of three-phase alternator and a permanent magneto flywheel.
The alternator is directly connected to the voltage regulator.
This, in its turn, is connected directly to the ground and the battery's positive terminal passing through
the 20A protective fuse.
The three-phase alternator provides good recharge power and at low revs a good compromise is ach-
ieved between generated power and idle stability.

Recharge system voltage check

Look for any leakage
1) Access the battery by removing the specific cover.
2) Check that the battery does not show signs of losing fluid before checking the output voltage.
3) Turn the ignition key to position OFF, connect the terminals of the tester between the negative pole
(-) of the battery and the black cable and only then disconnect the black cable from the negative pole
(-) of the battery.
4) With the ignition key always at OFF, the reading indicated by the ammeter must be ≤ 0.5 mA.

Charging current check

WARNING
BEFORE CARRYING OUT THE CHECK, MAKE SURE THAT THE BATTERY IS IN GOOD WORK-
ING ORDER.
1) Place the vehicle on its centre stand.
2) With the battery correctly connected to the circuit, place the multimeter leads between the battery
terminals..
3) Start the engine, ensure that the lights are all out, increase the engine speed and at the same time
measure the voltage.

3) Procedure for filling the battery with acid.

Position the electrolyte container upside down with
the six areas sealed in line with the six battery filler
holes. Push the container down with enough force
to break the seals. The electrolyte should start to
flow inside the battery.
Note: Do not tilt the container to prevent the flow
of electrolyte from pausing or stopping.

4) Control the flow of electrolyte

Make sure air bubbles are rising from all six filling holes. Leave the container in this position for 20
minutes or more.
Note: If there are no air bubbles coming out of the filling holes, lightly tap the bottom of the container
two or three times. Do not remove the container from the battery.
5) Take out the container.
Make sure all the electrolyte in the battery is drained. Gently tap the bottom of the container if electrolyte
remains in the container. Only once the container is completely empty, gently remove the container
itself from the battery. Leave the battery to rest, without sealing the six cells, for at least 1 hour before
charging.

Remote seat opening

The vehicle is equipped with a remote control to

open the saddle and for the recognition of the ve-
hicle itself.
This remote control is supplied together with the
keys and it has been programmed to control the
opening device control unit at the manufacturing
stage. If the remote control is lost, a new one can
be requested and programmed.

• By pressing the buttons «1» or «2» of

the remote control for about 3 seconds,
the «Bike Finder» device will allow the
opening at a distance of the saddle and
the recognition of the vehicle with an
optical signal by flashing the turn indi-
cator. While holding one of the two but-
tons, the system will continue to repeat
the operation described above until the
button is released.
• By instead pressing the buttons «3» or
«4» of the remote control, the «Bike
Finder» device will be only activated for

ELE SYS - 124

Vespa Primavera S-Sprint S 125-150 i.e. 3V ABS TFT E4 Electrical system

the recognition of the vehicle by emit-

ting quick optical signals through the
turn indicator.

The remote control is powered by internal batteries

that get discharged after extended used; If the LED
turns on when the button is pressed, the remote
control is working properly.
You may need to replace the batteries if the re-
mote control fails or if its range of operation is
reduced. To separate the two halves of the remote
control, insert the blade of a plain slot screwdriver
at one point on the edge and slide it all around.
Once the remote control is open, remove the two
batteries from the contact terminal. Install the two
new CR2016 batteries with the positive pole facing
the contact terminal. Reassemble the remote con-
trol by pressing the two clip-on halves gently with
your fingers.

Programming

To program the new radio commands, do the fol-

lowing:

1. disconnect the battery of the vehicle;

2. reconnect the battery of the vehicle;
3. within 5 seconds of reconnecting the battery,
simultaneously press buttons "1" and "3" on
the remote control twice. the «Bike Finder»
device will confirm the process with an opti-
cal signal by the quick flashing of the turn
indicator;
4. the programming of the new radio command
generates the end of the procedure and the
system is ready for use.

If it is necessary to erase a radio command from

the memory of the device, it will be necessary to
repeat the programming 4 times even with the

ELE SYS - 125

Electrical system Vespa Primavera S-Sprint S 125-150 i.e. 3V ABS TFT E4

same remote control, in order to recover the 4 pro-

vided memories.
CAUTION

RY (4 MAXIMUM) YOU NEED TO REPEAT THE WHOLE
PROCEDURE AGAIN. FAILURE TO CARRY OUT THESE
OPERATIONS WITHIN THE INDICATED TIMES WILL RE-
SULT IN THE REMOTE-CONTROL UNIT KEY PROGRAM-

- Before proceeding to check the crankcase halves, thoroughly clean all surfaces and oil ducts.
- On the transmission-side crankcase half, take particular care when handling the oil pump compartment
and the oil ducts, the by-pass duct, the main bushings and the cooling jet on the transmission side.
- Take particular care, also, that there are no signs wear in the oil by-pass valve housing (see Chapter
Lubrication), as this could prevent a good seal in the piston, which regulates the oil pressure.
- On the flywheel side crankcase half, take particular care cleaning the oil ducts for the main bushings,
the oil duct for the jet that lubricates the cylinder head and the oil drainage duct at the flywheel side oil
seal.
- Inspect the coupling surfaces on the crankcase halves for scratches or deformation, taking particular
care with the cylinder/crankcase surfaces and the crankcase halves surfaces.
- Defects in the crankcase coupling gasket between the crankcase halves or the mating surfaces shown
in the diagram, could cause a drop in the oil pressure lubricating the main bushings and connecting
rod.
- Check the main bearing seats that limit axial clearance in the crankshaft show no signs of wear. The
dimension between these seats is measured by way of the procedure described previously for meas-
uring the crankshaft axial clearance and dimensions.

Conceptual diagrams

The lobe pump «F» sucks the oil from the sump, through the mesh pre-filter «C», it pushes it into the
cartridge filter «E» where there is also a safety valve «D».
Through the suitable passages found in the crankcases, the oil enters the crank chamber «G» where
the main bearings are lubricated and the big end (with high pressure), the piston pin and connecting
rod small end via spray «H».
Subsequently the oil arrives at the timing system where it lubricates the camshaft «A» and from this,
valves and rockers. The oil passes through the timing chain duct and returns to the sump «B» by gravity.
In the system there is a minimal oil pressure sensor «I» and a spray that serves to lubricate the stator
«L».

INDEX OF TOPICS

INJECTION INJEC
Vespa Primavera S-Sprint S 125-150 i.e. 3V ABS TFT E4 Injection

Injection system
This vehicle is fitted with an integrated injection and ignition system.
Injection is indirect in the manifold through an electro-injector.
The injection and ignition are timed on the four-stroke cycle by means of a tone wheel keyed on to the
crankshaft (24-2 teeth) and pick-up sensor.
Mixture and ignition are managed on the basis of engine revs and throttle valve opening. Further cor-
rections are made according to the following parameters:
- Engine temperature
- Intake air temperature
- Lambda probe
The system implements cold engine idle fuel/air mixture correction with an adjustment device on a by-
pass circuit of the throttle valve. The control unit manages the Stepper motor and the injector opening
time, thereby ensuring the idle steadiness and the proper mixture.
In all conditions of use, mixture preparation is managed by modifying the injector opening time.
The fuel system pressure is kept constant in relation to ambient pressure.
The fuel system circuit consists of:
- Fuel pump
- Fuel filter
- Injector
- Pressure regulator
The pump, the filter and the regulator are placed inside the fuel tank on a single support.
The injector is connected by a pipe with fast-release fittings. The pressure regulator is located at the
beginning of the circuit.
The petrol pump is controlled by the injection control unit; this ensures safety of the vehicle.

The ignition circuit consists of:

- H.V. coil
- H.V. cable.
- Shielded cap
- Injection ECU
- Spark plug
The injection control unit manages ignition with the best advance ensuring four-stroke timing (ignition
only in the compression phase) at the same time.
The injection/ignition system manages the engine function according to a pre-set program.
Should any input signals fail, an acceptable working order of the engine is ensured to allow the user to
reach a service station.
Of course, this cannot happen when the rpm-timing signal is missing, or when the failure involves the
control circuits:

INJEC - 203
Injection Vespa Primavera S-Sprint S 125-150 i.e. 3V ABS TFT E4

- Fuel pump
- H.V. coil
- Injector

The control unit is fitted with a self-diagnosis sys-

tem connected to a warning light on the instrument
panel.

Failures are detected and restored by the diagnostic tester.

In any case, when the fault is no longer present, data storage is automatically wiped clean after 16
cycles of use (cold starting, running at regular engine temperature, stop).
The diagnostic tester is also required to adjust the idle mixture.

Specific tooling
020922Y Diagnosis Tool

The injection control unit has a decoder for the an-

ti-theft immobilizer system.
The injection control unit is connected to a diag-
nostic LED on the instrument panel that also car-
ries out the deterrent flashing functions.

Precautions

Troubleshooting tips
1 An injection system failure is more likely to be due to the connections than to the components.
Before troubleshooting the injection system, carry out the following checks:
A: Power supply
a. Battery voltage
b. Blown fuse
c. Relays
d. Connectors
B: Frame ground connection

INJEC - 204
Vespa Primavera S-Sprint S 125-150 i.e. 3V ABS TFT E4 Injection

C: Fuel system
a. Faulty fuel pump
b. Dirty fuel filter
D: Ignition system
a. Faulty spark plug
b. Faulty coil
c. Faulty shielded cap
E: Intake circuit
a. Air filter dirty
b. b. Dirty by-pass circuit
c. Idle speed adjustment device
F: Others
a. Wrong timing system
b. Wrong idle mixture
c. Incorrect reset of the throttle valve position sensor
2 Injection system failure may be caused by loose connectors. Make sure that all connections have
been correctly made.
Check the connectors taking into consideration the following point:
A check that the terminals are not bent.
B check that the connectors have been properly connected.
C - Check whether the malfunction can be fixed by shaking the connector slightly.
3 Check the entire system before replacing the injection control unit. If the fault is fixed even by replacing
the control unit, install the original control unit again and check if the fault occurs again.
4 For troubleshooting, use a multimeter with an internal resistance of more than 10 KW/V. Improper
instruments may damage the injection control unit. The instruments to be preferred have a definition
over 0.1V and 0.5W and an accuracy over 2%.

1. Before repairing any part of the injection system, check if any faults have been stored. Do not dis-
connect the battery before checking for faults.
2. The supply system is pressurised at 250 kPa (2.5 BAR). Before disconnecting the fast-release fitting
of the fuel supply pipe, check that there are no naked flames. Do not smoke. Act with caution to avoid
spraying fuel to your eyes.
3. When repairing electric components, the battery must always be disconnected unless it is strictly
necessary for the battery to be connected.
4. When functional checks are performed, make sure that the battery voltage exceeds 12V.
5. Before attempting to start the vehicle, ensure that there are at least two litres of fuel in the tank.
Failure to respect this norm will damage the fuel pump.

INJEC - 205
Injection Vespa Primavera S-Sprint S 125-150 i.e. 3V ABS TFT E4

6. If a long period is envisaged with the vehicle not in use, fill the tank to at least the halfway mark. This
will ensure the pump will be covered by fuel.
7. When washing the vehicle, do not spray excessive water on electric components and wiring har-
nesses.
8. In the event of ignition problems, begin troubleshooting from the battery and the injection system
connections.
9. Before disconnecting the connector of the injection control unit, perform the following steps in the
order shown:
- Set the switch to «OFF»
- Disconnect the battery
Failure to respect this norm may damage the control unit.
10. Do not invert the poles when fitting the battery.
11. To avoid causing any damage, disconnect and reconnect the injection system connectors only if
required. Before reconnecting, check that the connectors are dry.
12. When carrying out electric inspections, do not force the tester probes into the connectors. Do not
take measurements not specifically foreseen by the manual.
13. At the end of every check performed with the diagnostic tester, remember to protect the system
connector with its cap. Failure to observe this precaution may damage the injection control unit.
14. Before reconnecting the quick couplers of the power supply system, check that the terminals are
perfectly clean.

Fuel supply system

The fuel system circuit includes the electric pump, the filter, the pressure regulator, the electro-injector
and the fuel delivery pipes.
The electrical pump is located in the tank from which the fuel is pumped and sent to the injector through
the filter.
The pressure is controlled by the pressure regulator situated in the pump assembly in the tank.

With the battery voltage > 12 V, check the pump flow rate by disconnecting from the injector the pipe
equipped with the pressure gauge of the appropriate tool. Make a graded burette available with a flow
rate of approximately 1 L. Rotate the pump using the active diagnosis of the palm top computer. Using
a pair of long flat needle-nose pliers, choke the fuel pipe making the pressure stabilise at approx. 2.5
bar. Check that within 15 seconds the pump has a flow rate of approx. 110 cm³.

The system is integrated with the injection and it is a high-efficiency inductive type ignition.
The control unit manages two significant parameters:
- Ignition advance

INJEC - 219
Injection Vespa Primavera S-Sprint S 125-150 i.e. 3V ABS TFT E4

This is optimised at the moment in accordance with the engine revs, engine load, temperature and
environmental pressure.
With the engine at idle, the ignition advance is optimised to stabilise the speed at 1,450 ± 50 rpm.
- Magnetisation time
The coil magnetisation time is controlled by the control unit. The ignition power is increased during the
engine start-up phase.
The injection system recognises the 4-stroke cycle so ignition is only commanded in the compression
phase.

Zeroing the throttle

Resetting the throttle valve position signal (T.P.S reset)

The throttle body is supplied with throttle valve position sensor and is pre-calibrated.
Pre-calibration entails regulating the minimum opening of the throttle valve to obtain a certain flow of
air under pre-set reference conditions.
Pre-calibration ensures optimal air flow to control idling.
This regulation must not be tampered with in any way whatsoever.
The injection system will complete the management of the idling through the related device and the
variation of the ignition advance.
The throttle body after the pre-calibration has an opened valve with an angle that can vary depending
on the tolerances of the machining of the pipe and the valve itself.
The valve position sensor can also assume various fitting positions. For these reasons the mV of the
sensor with the valve at idle can vary from one throttle body to another.
To obtain the optimum fuel mixture, especially at small openings of the throttle valve, it is essential to
match the throttle body with the control unit following the procedure known as TPS resetting.
With this operation we inform the control unit, as the starting point, of the mV value corresponding to
the pre-calibrated position.
To reset, proceed as follows.

Connect the diagnostic tester.

Switch to «ON».
Select the functions of the diagnostic tester on «TPS RESET».

Make sure that the throttle valve with the control is

supporting the stop screw.

With the throttle completely closed, check that the cables have clearance in all steering positions and
confirm the position at the diagnostic tool.

Keep the throttle in a completely open position and confirm the position at the diagnostic tool.

N.B.
THE UNITS OF MEASUREMENT CONTAINED IN THIS CHAPTER ARE EXPRESSED IN TERMS
OF THE DECIMAL METRIC SYSTEM. TO REFER TO THE UNIT OF MEASUREMENT EXPRESSED
IN TERMS OF THE ANGLO-SAXON SYSTEM, SEE THE "CHARACTERISTICS" CHAPTER.

ABS

The vehicle is equipped with a locking ABS system

on the front wheel.
A: Tone wheel
B: Speed sensor

• ABS: It is a hydraulic - electronic device

that limits the pressure within the brak-
ing circuit when a sensor, located on
the wheel, detects its tendency to lock.
This system prevents the front wheel
from locking to avoid the risk of falling.

In case of failure of the ABS system, immediately

reported to the rider with ABS warning light on the
instrument cluster, the vehicle retains the charac-
teristics of a conventional braking system. In case
of ABS warning light, reduce speed and go to an
Authorised Service Centre for the appropriate
checks. The safety provided by the ABS does not,
in any case, justify risky manoeuvres. The stop-
ping distance may be greater, compared to a con-
ventional vehicle equipped with traditional braking
in the following conditions:

• Riding on rough roads, with gravel or

snow
• Riding on roads with holes or bumps

It is therefore recommended to reduce speed in

these conditions.
WARNING
THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH SERVO ASSISTED
BRAKES.

AT VERY LOW SPEEDS, LESS THAN 5 km/h (3 mph) THE

ABS SYSTEM IS DISABLED.
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO PAY ATTENTION THEREFORE
IN CASES OF BRAKING IN LOW GRIP CONDITIONS AT
LOW SPEED (FOR EXAMPLE BRAKING ON GARAGE

BRAK SYS - 251

FLOOR TILES AFTER HAVING RIDDEN ON WET ROADS

OR SIMILAR SITUATIONS)
N.B.
THE ABS WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON AND STAYS ON
UNTIL REACHING 5 Km/h (3 mph).
CAUTION

IN THE EVENT OF MALFUNCTION OF THE BATTERY, THE

ABS - ASR SYSTEM TURNS OFF.
WARNING

THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM WITH WHICH THE VEHICLE

IS EQUIPPED OPERATES ONLY ON THE FRONT WHEEL.
THEREFORE, THE REAR WHEEL MAY BE SUBJECT TO
LOCK.

- Previously loosen the screw fastening the pipe

connector to the calliper.

- Undo and remove the fixing screw and discon-

nect the brake calliper from the support.

- Lift the calliper so that the end part of the pipe is

tilted upwards.
- Maintaining this position, remove the calliper by
acting on the connector with the relative copper
washers.
WARNING
KEEP THE END OF THE PIPE TILTED UPWARD.

- Suitably protect the connector and secure it so it

is tilted upward to keep air from entering.
- Immediately proceed with installing the new
brake calliper.
CAUTION

BRAKE FLUID IS HYGROSCOPIC; THAT IS, IT ABSORBS

MOISTURE FROM THE AIR. IT IS IMPORTANT TO COM-
PLETE THESE OPERATIONS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE
TO AVOID THE DEGRADATION OF THE CHARACTERIS-
TICS OF THE FLUID.

BRAK SYS - 253

Braking system Vespa Primavera S-Sprint S 125-150 i.e. 3V ABS TFT E4
