Fault meaning and symptoms
The document defines fault code 3138 as Engine Exhaust Gas Recirculation Outlet Pressure – Data Erratic, Intermittent or Incorrect. The electronic control module (ECM) provides a 5 volt supply to the EGR orifice pressure sensor on the sensor supply circuit. The ECM also provides a ground on the sensor return circuit. The condition is monitored on SPN 5019, FMI 2, and is annunciated with an amber CHECK ENGINE / malfunction indicator lamp. Documented causes in the Shop Talk section include a damaged egr orifice pressure sensor, high resistance in the wiring harness on the signal or return wire, plugged or restricted egr differential pressure sensor flow ports. Each fault is worked with the INSITE electronic service tool, cross-referencing associated procedures 011-066, 019-032, 019-043, 019-461, 019-361.
Applicable truck models
