This Cummins code 238 document is a troubleshooting procedure for a Sensor Supply 3 Circuit voltage below normal or shorted to low source fault. It explains how the ECM monitors the 5 volt sensor supply to the primary engine speed/position sensor and how the fault affects starting, running, warning lamps, and backup engine speed sensing.
