These aren't features — they're invoices you stop receiving. Average costs below are what members report paying shops and dealers before switching.
1 Clear an aftertreatment derate from the driver's seat Command: Reset All Aftertreatment Avoids on average $1,300 tow
An aftertreatment inducement is the most expensive fault a Volvo throws — not because of the part, but because a 5-MPH derate means you can't get to the shop without a hook. Fix the cause, reset the aftertreatment from the cab, and drive to the repair on your terms.
2 Burn off soot yourself Command: Forced DPF Regen Replaces a $300 shop regen
When soot loads up on a D13 or D16 and a passive regen won't cut it, the shop charges ~$300 and half your day to do what your engine can do parked. Run a forced regen in 30–45 minutes while you eat lunch.
3 Read & reset faults before anyone charges you Command: Reset Fault Codes Skips the $400 diagnostic fee
Shops charge ~$400 on average just to plug in and tell you what you could see yourself. Read the fault, see what it means in plain English, clear it after the fix — and only pay a shop when there's actual wrench work.
4 Test your SCR before it derates you Command: Forced SCR Regen Prevents the next $2,000 surprise
Volvo's SCR system fails slowly, then derates you suddenly. Run the same SCR regen the dealer runs and catch a dying NOx sensor or DEF quality issue weeks before it becomes an inducement on a load.
5 Clear crystallized DEF yourself Command: DEF Crystal Sublimation Ends the dealer-only visit
DEF crystallizes in the dosing lines and injector whenever the system sits — and on a Volvo that shows up as poor dosing, then NOx faults, then an inducement. The sublimation procedure heats the deposits back out. A dealer line item on any other tool; a tap in the app on this one.
One derate. Two ways it can go.
Without OTR Diagnostics
With OTR Diagnostics
We've logged 22 million fault codes. Yours won't surprise us.
- Pattern-backed answers. When SPN 5246 shows on a D13, OTR Assist AI draws on the thousands of times our members have already hit it — what caused it, what fixed it, what it cost.
- 1,000,000+ commands sent, 100,000+ regens run. Every forced regen and derate reset sharpens the guidance for the next driver. A code reader shows you a number; OTR shows you what 10,500 members did about it.
- Volvo-specific depth. D11, D13, D13TC and D16 — 2014 to 2024, including the turbo-compound D13TC, with all five bi-directional commands on every one of them.
The gauges Volvo didn't put on your dash.
Proof from the people paying the bills.
"This product paid for itself on the first use. Easy to use and understand, and prevents small problems from turning into bigger problems. My favorite feature is the 'Live Data'. OTR Performance is a must have for any smart O/O or small fleet who wants to save time and money."
"Money well spent!!! Their customer service is excellent and the diagnostic subscription is gonna save you money. Thoroughly impressed! Just imagine being able to get to a shop after you disable the derate that has you stuck on the shoulder of the highway."
"D13 went into a 5 MPH derate outside Amarillo at 10pm. Cleared the inducement from the cab and delivered on time. A tow out there is $1,300 minimum."
"Dosing fault after the truck sat three weeks. Ran the DEF crystal sublimation myself instead of leaving it at the dealer for a day."
"I'm 61 and not a computer guy. Plugged it in, the app found my D13, and it told me in plain English what the code meant."
"Stopped paying $400 every time a light came on just to be told it was nothing. I check it myself now and only go to the shop when there's real work."
Your Volvo is covered.
The next derate doesn't have to cost $2,800.
Every plan includes the OTR Link 2 adapter free ($299 value), all Volvo commands above, OTR Assist AI, live data, and US-based support from Detroit.
