This study investigates the application of magnetic induction diagnosis in diesel injectors, highlighting its accuracy, reliability, and potential for internationalization of the S-Tronic technology. The analysis shows that conventional verification methods present limitations in the early detection of failures, increasing maintenance costs, rework, and risks of environmental non-compliance. The methodology followed a comparative design between conventional diagnostics, predominant in the United States, and advanced magnetic induction diagnostics already applied in Latin American workshops. Results demonstrate that the technology provides greater sensitivity and specificity, reducing unnecessary replacements, fleet downtime, and dependence on imported parts. Moreover, it generates financial, operational, and environmental benefits, reinforcing its compatibility with strict U.S. regulatory frameworks. It is concluded that the adoption of this technology represents a strategic factor for enhancing competitiveness, economic predictability, and sustainability in the transportation sector.
