As is the case for the majority of the diesel products sold on Tamerx Diesel Products, your part's warranty is active as soon as you install it. In some other cases, warranty activation is contingent upon you sending us your core (i.e., your old part). Tamerx Diesel Products will provide you a return shipping label for parts that have a warranty with a core return condition. When we have received your core return, the part's warranty coverage begins. We reserve the right to void the product warranty if your core is not received within the allotted time, or if it isn't received at all. If the warranty for the diesel part you are purchasing has a core return requirement, it will be clearly noted on the product detail page/item listing.
What is a Core Charge?
A core charge (also called "core deposit") is similar to the deposit you might pay for a can or bottle of soda and is a standard requirement in the auto parts industry. For example, in many states, to promote recycling, you pay a deposit when you purchase a can of soda and receive your deposit back when you return the empty can. Many automotive parts have a core charge, or core price, that works in essentially the same way as a soda can deposit.
30 Day Core Charge Hold
You authorize Tamerx Diesel Products, to hold your credit card for the specified core charge amount and that you agree to return your core with 30 days of receiving the purchased part. When we have received your core return, the hold is released and the core charge payment is canceled.
The customer, or parts buyer, is responsible for any shipping costs associated with core returns unless otherwise specified in the product listing/detail page. Tamerx Diesel Products offers prepaid UPS shipping labels (SKU numbers UPS-CR1 and UPS-CR2) for use in returning your core that are available for purchase on our website during your shopping/order process.
The shipping label you will need to use for the core return is dependent upon what part you are purchasing. UPS-CR1 is good for cores weighing up to 20 pounds. UPS-CR2 is appropriate for shipping cores weighing 21 pounds or more. You must include enough information with the core return that clearly identifies it as a.) a Core Return, and b.) contains enough information we can use to clearly associate the core return with your order. Including a copy of the invoice or packing slip that came with the original shipment, clearly marked "Core Return", is ideal. Alternately, you can include a note marked as "Core Return" that includes your order number, full name and address, and phone number or other contact information. Failure to include this information with your returned core will most likely delay any due core credit being issued and/or delay any applicable warranty activation. Core returns need to be for the exact part purchased and cannot be damaged. Substituting another part in place of the part you have purchased is not acceptable.
All fluids must be drained.
If you have purchased a set or a parts package, you will need to return cores for all components of the set. For example, if you have purchaed a high pressure oil pump with an IPR valve, you will need to return both HPOP and IPR valve cores to receive proper credit. If you have purchased an EGR cooler/EGR valve package, your core return must consist of an EGR cooler core and an EGR valve core, or core credit will not be given.
Core Charges are often mandated by state legislature, and, as such, the actual core charge and taxes on the charge may vary depending on the state in which you buy your part. The Tamerx Diesel Products core charge presented to you online today with your item is representative of the most common core charge.

The Cummins ISX12 SCR Outlet Catalyst Module (OEM 4388492) is a critical aftertreatment component designed for 2013–2017 Cummins ISX12 engines. Installed near the end of the exhaust system, this Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Outlet Catalyst Module helps reduce harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions after Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) has been injected into the exhaust stream. Working together with the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC), Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), and DEF system, it plays an essential role in helping the engine meet modern diesel emissions standards.
Unlike the DPF, which captures soot, the SCR Outlet Catalyst Module is specifically designed to convert NOx emissions into harmless nitrogen and water vapor through a catalytic chemical reaction.
What Does the Cummins 4388492 SCR Outlet Catalyst Module Do?
- Reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions
- The catalyst reacts with ammonia produced from DEF to convert harmful NOx gases into harmless nitrogen and water vapor.
- Completes the emissions treatment process
- Positioned at the outlet of the SCR system, it performs one of the final stages of exhaust cleaning before gases leave the vehicle.
- Works with the DEF system
- The module relies on accurately injected DEF to create the chemical reaction required for effective NOx reduction.
- Supports the complete aftertreatment system
- It operates alongside the DOC, DPF, NOx sensors, temperature sensors, the decomposition reactor tube, and the Engine Control Module (ECM) to maintain efficient emissions control.
- Maintains proper exhaust flow
- Its design allows treated exhaust gases to pass efficiently through the final stage of the aftertreatment system.
- Helps maintain emissions compliance
- A properly functioning SCR Outlet Catalyst Module is essential for meeting diesel emissions regulations and supporting reliable engine operation.
The Cummins ISX12 SCR Outlet Catalyst Module (OEM 4388492) serves as the final emissions-cleaning stage of the aftertreatment system. By converting harmful NOx emissions into environmentally safe gases, it helps produce cleaner exhaust, supports the performance of the complete emissions system, and contributes to the long-term reliability of compatible Cummins ISX12 engines.
An SCR Outlet Catalyst Module does not have a scheduled replacement interval. Unlike filters or other routine maintenance items, it is designed to last for many years and should only be replaced when it no longer functions properly or has sustained physical damage. With proper maintenance, an SCR Outlet Catalyst Module can often last 200,000 to 500,000 miles or more, depending on the application and operating conditions.
Instead of replacing it based on mileage, monitor the condition of the module and the overall health of the aftertreatment system.
Here are the most common signs that it may be time to replace your SCR Outlet Catalyst Module:
- Recurring SCR efficiency fault codes
- If diagnostic trouble codes continue to return after repairing related components, the catalyst module may no longer be operating efficiently.
- Failed emissions testing
- A worn or contaminated catalyst may no longer reduce NOx emissions effectively, causing the vehicle or equipment to fail emissions inspections.
- Engine derate or reduced-power mode
- Persistent SCR-related faults can cause the engine to enter a protective mode that limits power until the issue is corrected.
- Internal contamination or catalyst deterioration
- Oil contamination, coolant contamination, excessive soot, DEF deposits, or prolonged overheating can permanently damage the catalyst material.
- Physical damage
- Cracked housings, severe corrosion, or impact damage can compromise the module and require replacement.
- Persistent SCR system problems after other repairs
- If NOx sensors, DEF injectors, temperature sensors, and wiring have been tested or replaced but SCR-related issues remain, the outlet catalyst module should be evaluated for replacement.
Routine inspections of the aftertreatment system, proper DEF maintenance, and prompt repair of engine or emissions-related issues can help maximize the lifespan of your SCR Outlet Catalyst Module. Replacing the module only when diagnostic testing confirms failure is the most effective approach for maintaining reliable emissions system performance.
The 4388492 is commonly used on Class 8 heavy-duty trucks, vocational trucks, and commercial highway tractors powered by compatible Cummins ISX12 engines.
The module is engineered for continuous operation under high exhaust temperatures, heavy engine loads, vibration, and repeated thermal cycling experienced during commercial trucking applications.
Technicians commonly inspect the module when diagnosing SCR efficiency fault codes, elevated NOx emissions, emissions warning lights, reduced aftertreatment efficiency, or visible catalyst damage.
Yes. DEF contamination, excessive soot, engine oil contamination, coolant intrusion, or catalyst poisoning can reduce SCR efficiency and negatively affect emissions performance.
