P241DSCR Inducement - Forced Engine Shutdown
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
- How the car detects it
- P241D marks the last step of the diesel SCR inducement: after repeated warnings about a reductant problem were ignored, the engine module blocks further engine starts. On FCA's 3.0L EcoDiesel (Ram 1500, Jeep Grand Cherokee from 2014) a DEF-related code first triggers a dash message, after 50 miles a restart countdown, and after 150 miles no restart; P241D is then stored and only sets alongside the causing code. A wiTECH routine allows up to 49 more miles. Jaguar Land Rover describes the same code on the Ingenium 2.0D when DEF was not topped up. CARB accepts such inducement strategies as a guard against running without proper reductant. The real fault is the companion code; repair it, then clear and re-run the monitors.
- What you may notice
- Engine will not restart, message to service the DEF system
- Earlier countdown warnings in the cluster
- Check engine light with further SCR codes
- Likely causes
- LikelyDEF tank run empty after warnings were ignored
- LikelyUnrepaired SCR or DEF system fault (pump, pressure, quality, NOx sensor)
- RareCausing code erased while the inducement remains active
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
