The installed Clean Emissions Module (CEM) is not a certified match with the engine.

Diagnostic codes 5576-8 or 5576-14 are not active.

There are no active 3509 diagnostic codes.

The ECM has been powered for 2 seconds.

“This fault is a violation of the emissions regulations, and may result in severe fines and/or legal action if not corrected immediately.” Do not operate the engine with the active fault.

Engine power is derated. 
5576-8  3468-8  Aftertreatment #1 Identification : Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width, or Period  The ECM detects the following conditions:

No signal is detected from the aftertreatment identification module.
There are no active 3509 diagnostic codes.

The ECM has been powered for 2 seconds.

Do not continue to operate the engine with the active fault.

Engine power is derated. 
5576-14  3468-14  Aftertreatment #1 Identification Number Module: Special Instruction  The ECM detects the following conditions:

The signal from the aftertreatment identification module is invalid.

Diagnostic code 5576-8 is not active.

The ECM has been powered for 2 seconds.

Do not continue to operate the engine with the active fault.

Engine power is derated. 

The aftertreatment identification module communicates with the engine ECM to ensure that the correct Integrated Clean Emissions Module (IGCEM) is installed.

If the total operating hours of the engine are greater than 100, the aftertreatment identification module will cease to send the signal. The diagnostic codes that are listed in Table 1 will be disabled.
