Q: What does code P241D mean?

SCR Inducement Forced Engine Shutdown. P241D indicates that the engine control module (ECM) has commanded a forced engine shutdown because the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system has detected a fault that prevents it from meeting emissions regulations. The ECM typically triggers this after the diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) level is critically low, the DEF has been contaminated, or a SCR component has failed, and the vehicle has entered a inducement strategy that ultimately cuts engine power or shuts it down.
