Cummins fault code 2738 is documented on this DiagTechPro library page for Cummins ISM CM871 (2007-09) engines, where it flags a Start Enable Device 1 Circuit (Ether Injection) – Voltage Above Normal Or Shorted To High Source condition (PID S237, SPN 626, FMI 3/3, Amber lamp). This 5-page PDF reproduces the manufacturer description, shop talk, component location and step-by-step troubleshooting so technicians can confirm and clear the code.
Cummins fault code 2738 overview
Cummins defines this code as “START ENABLE DEVICE 1 CIRCUIT (ETHER INJECTION) – VOLTAGE ABOVE NORMAL OR SHORTED TO HIGH SOURCE” on the Ether Injection Start Circuit. The ether injection circuit is a device used by the engine to control the ether injection operation. The ether injection circuit utilizes a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal. A PWM signal is a pulsed voltage signal between 0 VDC and system voltage. The frequency of the pulsed voltage signal is dependent on the application requirement.
According to the shop talk notes, possible causes include:
- include:
- An open circuit in the engine harness or ether injection solenoid.
- A short circuit to voltage source in the OEM harness.
- A malfunctioning ECM.
