Operator Level Inducement

Inducements are engine derates or other actions intended to prompt the operator to repair or maintain the emission control system.

Inducement strategies are control actions required by EPA/ARB Tier 4 and EU Stage IV regulations. An inducement strategy ensures prompt correction of various failures in the engine NOx emission control system. The strategy requires actions to limit engine performance and defines required the following indications when the control actions are imposed:

  • Lamps

  • Messages

  • Audible alarms

520246–14  Emission Control System Inducement Information : Special Instruction  This diagnostic code is available in electronic service tool versions 2015C or later. This diagnostic code is for informational purposes only.

Sometimes, when the active and/or logged diagnostic codes are cleared but the inducement diagnostic codes remain, the 520246–14 code provides a list of all diagnostic codes that can trigger the active inducement code.

This diagnostic code is only displayed when a diagnostic code that triggers the inducement strategy is active or has previously been active.
In version 2016C or later of the electronic service tool, this diagnostic code will be recorded in the logged diagnostic code screen.

The ECM must be powered off for at least 2 minutes then powered back on to update the list of diagnostic codes.
This diagnostic code will remain visible as an active diagnostic code in the electronic service tool for 40 hours after all associated diagnostic codes have been cleared.

The lamps that will come on depend on the active inducement diagnostic code.
The engine derates depend on the active inducement diagnostic code. 
520246–31  Emissions Control System Inducement Information  This diagnostic code is available in electronic service tool versions 2015C or later. This diagnostic code is for informational purposes only.

Sometimes when the active and/or logged diagnostic codes are cleared but the inducement diagnostic codes remain, the 520246–31 diagnostic code provides a list of all diagnostic codes that can trigger the active inducement code.

This diagnostic code is only displayed when a diagnostic code that triggers the inducement strategy is active or has previously been active.
In version 2016C or later of the electronic service tool, this diagnostic code will be recorded in the logged diagnostic code screen.

This diagnostic code will remain visible as an active diagnostic code in the electronic service tool for 40 hours after all associated diagnostic codes have been cleared.

The lamps that will come on depend on the active inducement diagnostic code.
The engine derates depend on the active inducement diagnostic code. 

Note: The inducement diagnostic codes are triggered when a diagnostic code that may affect the emissions of the engine is active and the engine is started. The inducement diagnostic codes will clear after the fault that affects the emissions of the engine is repaired. The inducement diagnostic codes will remain active until the engine is restarted after a repair. If the repair is made when the engine is running, the inducement diagnostic code will clear immediately.

  7. Make the necessary repairs for the diagnostic code that was causing the inducement.

Inducement Safe Harbor Mode

The "Inducement Safe Harbor Mode" should be used when an intermittent fault causes a level 3 inducement and the engine speed has been limited to low idle.

Note: The "Inducement Safe Harbor Mode" can only be used within 4 hours of the first inducement error code.

Perform the following steps to initiate the "Inducement Safe Harbor Mode":

Note: Complete the "Emissions Safe Harbor Reset" in the electronic service tool before performing this procedure.

  1. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position for at least 2 minutes or until the "Wait to Disconnect" indicator (if equipped) switches off.

  2. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position for 10 seconds.

  3. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position for 10 seconds.

  4. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position for 10 seconds.

  5. Start the engine.

Full power is restored for a maximum duration of 30 minutes if the inducement safe harbor mode restart has been successful.

Once initiated, the Inducement Safe Harbor Mode is terminated when the keyswitch is turned to the OFF position.

The inducement safe harbor mode restart time may be reduced if the engine has been run in inducement for too long.

The inducement safe harbor mode restart will be unavailable under the following conditions:

  • The engine has been run in inducement for longer than 3.5 hours (Refer to "Emissions Safe Harbor Reset")

  • When the inducement is caused by an electrical fault, low DEF tank level or poor DEF quality. (in this case, rectifying the fault will restore full power)
