Defeat device definition

Defeat device means any element of design which senses temperature, vehicle speed, engine rotational speed, drive gear, manifold vacuum or any other parameter for the purpose of activating, modulating, delaying or deactivating the operation of any part of the emission control system that reduces the effectiveness of the emission control system under conditions which may reasonably be expected to be encountered in normal vehicle operation and use. Such an element of design shall not be considered a defeat device if:

Defeat device means a device which measures, senses, or responds to operating variables (e.g., engine speed, temperature, intake pressure or any other parameter) for the purpose of activating, modulating, delaying or deactivating the operation of any component or the function of the emission control system such that the effectiveness of the emission control system is reduced under conditions encountered during normal operation, unless the use of such a device is substantially included in the applied emission certification test procedures.

Defeat device means any element of design which senses temperature, vehicle speed, engine speed and/or load, transmission gear, manifold vacuum or any other parameter for the purpose of activating, modulating, delaying or deactivating the operation of any part of the emission control and exhaust after-treatment system and which reduces the effectiveness of the emission control system under conditions which may reasonably be expected to be encountered in normal vehicle operation and use;

Examples of Defeat device in a sentence

• Defeat device includes any auxil- iary emission control device (AECD) that reduces the effectiveness of the emission control system under condi- tions which may reasonably be ex- pected to be encountered in normal op- eration and use unless such conditions are included in the test procedure.

• Defeat device does not include such items which either operate only during engine starting or are necessary to protect the engine (or equipment in which it is installed) against damage or accident during its operation.[59 FR 31335, June 17, 1994.

• Defeat device does not include such items which either operate only during engine starting or are necessary to protect the engine (or vehicle or equipment in which it is installed) against damage or accident during its operation.

• Defeat device includes any auxil- iary emission control device (AECD) that reduces the effectiveness of the Environmental Protection Agency § 91.113 emission control system under condi- tions which may reasonably be ex- pected to be encountered in normal op- eration and use, unless such conditions are included in the test procedure.
