i have a 2001 2.8 JTD motorhome but when i turn on the ignition there is no CODE symbol. the engine turns over but of course it doesn't fire. both keys are working. this model does not have an OBD plug.
What is the answer?

Check the fuses in the glovebox family member had a issue with the code light flicking rapidly and it was a issue with some corrosion in the fusebox
 
Assuming that it's not the immobiliser kicking in - diesels need air, fuel and compression. Unless you live in a vacuum I think we can discount air as the missing ingredient, so making sure that the fuel pump is priming and that you've got compression in all cylinders would be the next things to look at. I do agree with Chris though, that checking for corrosion in the fusebox is absolutely worth looking at, too.

Your vehicle will have an OBD port, but not the standard OBD2 16 pin device. The 2001 Ducato OBD port is a 3 pin connector near the air filter. See following links.

In normal operation, the key code lamp should illuminate briefly, when the key is turned. It goes out when a key is recognised.


I do not have specific details for 2001 Ducato, as mine is a 2006 x244 model.

In general terms, for the engine to start, the ECU needs a key recognition signal from the code receiver. There is an aerial incorporated in the ignition switch assembly, which is connected to the code receiver via a short 2 wire screened cable. On later vehicles at least, the code receiver is mounted behind the steering column lower shroud, and supplied by Fuse F18 7.5A (Ignition), in the engine bay fusebox. As has been suggested by chris3234, the fuse could be in a different location.

A reported cause of failure has been a broken wire in the 2 wire connecting cable that I mentioned above.

Please confirm whether the key code lamp illuminates, and goes out, or does not light at all?
 
Thanks to Chris 3234, Eklipze 3K and Communicator for your suggestions and I am pleased to say that the Hazard flasher fuse was the culprit, although there is no indication to say that. Thanks for the other information.:):)
