Characteristics<strong>MP3</strong> <strong>250</strong> i.e.This section describes the general specifications of the vehicle.RulesThis 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 wellventilated,using special extractors if necessary; never let the engine run in an enclosed area. Exhaustfumes are toxic.- The battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid. Protect your eyes, clothes and skin. Sulphuric acid ishighly corrosive; in the event of contact with your eyes or skin, rinse thoroughly with abundant waterand seek immediate medical attention.- The battery produces hydrogen, a gas that can be highly explosive. Do not smoke and avoid sparksor 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 workingarea, and avoid open flames or sparks.- Clean the brake pads in a well-ventilated area, directing the jet of compressed air in such a way thatyou do not breathe in the dust produced by the wear of the friction material. Even though the lattercontains no asbestos, inhaling dust is harmful.Maintenance rules- Use original PIAGGIO spare parts and lubricants recommended by the Manufacturer. Non-original ornon-conforming spares may damage the vehicle.- Use only the appropriate tools designed for this vehicle.- Always use new gaskets, sealing rings and split pins upon refitting.- After removal, clean the components using non-flammable or low flash-point solvent. Lubricate all thework surfaces except the tapered couplings before refitting.- After refitting, make sure that all the components have been installed correctly and work properly.- For removal, overhaul and refit operations use only tools with metric measures. Metric bolts, nuts andscrews are not interchangeable with coupling members with English measurement. Using unsuitablecoupling members and tools may damage the scooter.- When carrying out maintenance operations on the vehicle that involve the electrical system, makesure the electric connections have been made properly, particularly the ground and battery connections.CHAR - 2

Gently squeeze the filter element, let it drip and then refit it.CAUTIONIF THE VEHICLE IS USED ON DUSTY ROADS IT IS NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT MAINTENANCECONTROLS OF THE AIR FILTER TO AVOID DAMAGING THE ENGINE.Recommended productsAGIP FILTER OIL Oil for air filter spongeMineral oil with specific additives for increased adhesivenessEngine oilIn 4T engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, the bench bearings and thethermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage to the engine.In all 4T engines, the deterioration of the oil characteristics, or a certain consumption should be considerednormal, especially if during the run-in period. Consumption levels in particular can be influencedby the conditions of use (e.g.: oil consumption increases when driving at "full throttle".ReplacementAt 1,000 km and after every 10,000 km, the oil andthe filter must be changed. The engine must bedrained by running off the oil from drainage cap"B" of the flywheel side gauze pre-filter; furthermoreto facilitate oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick "A". Once all the oil has drained throughthe drainage hole, unscrew the oil cartridge filter"C" and remove it.MAIN - 8

Place the vehicle on its centre stand and onflat ground.2. Undo cap/dipstick "A", dry it off with a cleancloth and replace it, screwing down completely.3. Remove the cap/dipstick again and checkthat the level is between the min and max.marks; top up if necessary.MAIN - 9


Maintenance<strong>MP3</strong> <strong>250</strong> i.e.The MAX level mark indicates a quantity of around1300 cc of engine oil. If the check is carried outafter the vehicle has been used, and therefore witha hot engine, the level line will be lower; in orderto carry out a correct check it is necessary to waitat least 10 minutes after the engine has been stopped,so as to get the correct level.Oil top upThe oil should be topped up after having checked the level and in any case by adding oil without everexceeding the MAX. level.Restoration of the level from MIN to MAX requires approximately 200 cc.Engine oil filterThe cartridge filter must be replaced every time the oil is changed.

Instrument panelChecks and inspectionsThis section is devoted to the checks on the electrical system components.ImmobiliserThe electronic ignition system is controlled by thecontrol unit with the integrated Immobilizer system.The immobilizer is an anti-theft system thatallows the scooter to be operated only when it isstarted with coded keys recognised by the controlunit. The code is integrated in a transponder in thekey block. This allows the driver clear operationwithout having to do anything other than just turningthe key. The Immobiliser system consists of thefollowing components:- Electronic control unit- Immobilizer aerial- Master key with incorporated transponder (redkey)- service key with incorporated transponder (blackkey)- H.V. coil- Diagnostic LEDThe diagnostic LED also works as a deterringblinker. This function is activated every time theELE SYS - 15


Electrical system<strong>MP3</strong> <strong>250</strong> i.e.ignition switch is turned to the "OFF" position, orthe emergency stop switch is turned to the "OFF"position. It remains activated for 48 hours in ordernot to affect the battery charge. When the ignitionswitch is turned to the "ON" position, the deterringblinker function is deactivated. Subsequently, aflash confirms the switching to the "ON" status.The duration of the flash depends on the programmingof the electronic control unit If the LED is offregardless of the position of the ignition-key switchand/or the instrument panel is not initiated, check:• there is battery voltage• fuses 6,7,10 are in working order• there is power to the control unit asspecified below:Remove the connector support bracket shown inthe photograph and disconnect the connector fromthe control unit. Check the following conditions:With the key switch set to OFF:• if there is battery voltage between terminals6-26 and terminal 6-chassisground (fixed power supply). If there isno voltage check that fuse 6 and its cableare in working order.With the key switch in the OFF position:• there is battery voltage between terminals5-26 and terminal 5-frame earth(fixed power supply). If there is no voltage,check the key switch contacts,that fuse no. 10 and its cable are workingorder.ELE SYS - 16

Thekeys can only be recognised if the control unit has been programmed properly. The data storage procedurefor a previously not programmed control unit provides for the recognition of the master as thefirst key to be stored to memory: this becomes particularly important because it is the only key thatenables 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 limits1 to 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.During a single data storage sequence a maximum of 7 service keys are allowed.It is essential to adhere to the times and the procedure. If you do not, start again from the beginning.Once the system has been programmed, master key transponder, decoder and control unit are strictlymatched. With this link established, it is now possible to encode new service keys, in the event of losses,replacements, etc. Each new programming deletes the previous one so, in order to add or eliminatekeys, you must repeat the procedure using all the keys you intend to keep using. If a service key shouldbecome un-coded, the efficiency of the high voltage circuit shielding must be thoroughly inspected: Inany case it is advisable to use resistive spark plugs.ELE SYS - 18

Duringthis diagnosis phase a number of control unit statusescan be seen and various light codes displayed.Regardless of the code transmitted, if atthe end of the diagnosis the led remains off permanently,the ignition is enabled. If, however, theled remains on permanently, it means the ignitionis inhibited:1.

Furthercorrections are made according to the following parameters:- Coolant temperature.- Intake air temperature- Lambda probe strengthThe system implements an idle feeding correction with cold engine through a Stepper motor on a bypasscircuit of the throttle valve. The control unit manages the Stepper motor and the injector openingtime, thereby ensuring the idle steadiness and the proper combustion.In all conditions of use, mixture preparation is managed by modifying the injector opening time.The fuel supply pressure is kept constant based on the ambient pressure.The feed circuit consists of:- Fuel pump- Fuel filter- Injector- Pressure regulatorPump, filter and regulator are placed into the fuel tank using a single support.The injector is connected by two pipes provided with quick couplings. This allows obtaining a continuouscirculation, thereby avoiding the risk of fuel boiling. The pressure regulator is situated at the end of thecircuit.The fuel pump is controlled by the MIU; this ensures the scooter's safetyThe ignition circuit consists of:INJEC - 3

Injection<strong>MP3</strong> <strong>250</strong> i.e.Check the connections as follows:A check that the terminals are not bent.B check that the connectors have been properly connected.C see whether the malfunction can be fixed by shaking the connector slightly.3 Check the entire system before replacing the MIUIf the fault is fixed by replacing the MIU control unit,install the original control unit again and check if the fault occurs again.4 When troubleshooting use a multimeter with an internal resistance over 10 Ohm /V. Instruments thatare not suitable might damage the MIU control unit. Instruments must be used with definitions over 0.1Vand 0.5 W , the precision must be greater than 2%.1. Before fixing any part of the injection system, check to see if there are any registered faults. Do notdisconnect the battery before checking for faults.2. The fuel feed system is pressurised at <strong>250</strong> kPa (2.5 BAR). Before disconnecting the quick couplerof a pipe in the fuel supply system, check that there are no naked flames, and do not smoke. Act withcaution to prevent spraying in the eyes.3. When fixing electric components, operate with battery connected only when actually required.4. When functional checks are performed, check that the battery voltage is more than 12V.5. Before trying to start up, check to make sure there is at least two litres of fuel in the tank. Failure torespect this norm will damage the fuel pump.6. If the scooter is expected to remain unused for a long time, refill the tank up to a little over half thelevel. This will ensure the pump will be covered by fuel.7. When washing the vehicle, be careful with the electric components and wiring.8. When an ignition fault is detected, start the checks from the battery and the injection system connections.9. Before disconnecting the MIU control unit connector, perform the following steps in the order shown:- Set the switch to «OFF»- Disconnect the batteryFailure to respect this norm may damage the control unit.10. Do not invert the polarity when fitting the battery.11. To avoid damage, only disconnect and reconnect the MIU system connectors if required. Beforereconnecting, check that the connectors are dry.12. When carrying out electric inspections, do not force the tester probes into the connectors. Do nottake measurements not specifically foreseen by the manual.13. At the end of every check performed with the diagnostic tester, protect the system connector withits cap. Failure to do this may damage the MIU control unit.14.

For these reasons the mV of thesensor 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 tomatch 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 tothe pre-calibrated position.To reset, proceed as follows.INJEC - 38
