this is the error i'm getting

I've swapped the coils to eliminate the fault codes. I'll need to take another reading once the laptop has recharged.
Funny i've been looking very closely at the stepper , but thats as far as it goes. Last time i had a stepper in my hand i powered it up and went "
oh it moves"
as it shot the piston across the garage floor.
Lesson learned.
update
Just had a look on the ducatidiag forum and "ebi" from the german morini forum was saying that the error that i've got for the coils is probably false as it keeps appearing if you delete the dtc codes, despite the bike running normally. So it must be an anomally 
the following is an extract form a forum posting.
seems the stepper is the same one as fitted to the very early ducati 1098's

The explanation of Mass63 is corrected.
Technically something can be said more:
The air that serves to the motor for the starter is managed from the Stepper Motor that, to decreasing of the ambient temperature, must open a lot for giving to the motor guiusta the amount.
Unfortunately in all the Morini vehicles, except the Granpasso, this Stepper Motor slightly is sottodimensionato for the cubature of the motor, for which it arrives to the maximum opening that but turns out still insufficient when the temperature is near 0 °C.
If besides this reasoning we put also a P2o of untuoso warehouse around the butterflies (normal consequence of the Blow-By) the problem is magnified.
Therefore the Stepper is already all open, but the air amount is insufficient for the motor, the distributed benzine is that right one but the mixture air benzine is extremely rich: the candles are bathed, the benzine arrives in the catalyst and if to a sure point the motor set offs the heat of the gas sets afire the benzine to its inside rendering the drainage from the catalyst of a beautiful red color cherry.
This was the same problem that accused first 1098 that used the same Stepper: only solution is “to slightly aim” the accelerator till the starter, in order then to leave it to return to the position of butterflies sluices after some minute.
The Granpasso instead has received the version of Stepper that Marelli has studied for Ducati and, date its greater air capacity, the problem is not placed.almatt

and for those of you with stalling problems this might be the answer
in relation to 1098 stepper motors
bear in mind its talking about a 1098 not a morini , but it's the bit about the stepper motor and the rich mixture relating to stalling that i thought was of interest
As mentioned in the translated forum post above , the posting below is from 2007 , so an early stepper the same as the morini's, so maybe the upgraded stepper from the 1098 or granpasso is an option.
http://www.ducati-superbikes.com/forum/ ... php?t=3574This isn't really idle adjustment as this string is on but..
"After much research and speaking with Various Ducati techs that have set up the bikes here is what you have to do to make the bike run with out stalling:
Tell the tech (politely) to follow these steps IN ORDER. Do not rely on the service manual, do not rely on what they were told at their service meetings. The following is the most consistant fix that seems to work. This is for bikes with slip ons, by the way. If you have a bad ecu, starter, poor ground that is a different issue. These steps may work for stock bikes, I don't know.
1) Measure the voltage and amperage of the battery. Make sure it is within spec. The specs are on the battery.
2)Reset the TPS (throttle position sensor). Even if it was done at set up, do it again.
3)Balance both cylinders to within .30%. Do not accept an explanation that it is un-necessary, that the bike was balanced at the factory, that they are never out of balance etc. Just do it. It doesn't matter if the CO level is 1% or 8% at this point, only that the cylinders are balanced.
4) Using the airbleed screws, set the CO at 4%-4.5%. Ignore the service manual that says .5 or .7 to 1.5 or 1.7. That is set artificially low for emissions purposes.
5)Set the trimmer at 23-25 clicks. You will be told that's quite a lot. Do it anyway.
Your stalling problem should be solved. I'm not guaranteeing that this will work with every bike or that it will never stall again. But it will solve 90% of the problems." - CAG (Ducati1098.net)
Does that really fix it?
