The Cummins ISM code 396 manual is a 5-page diagnostic PDF for the actuator circuit on the ISM CM570 (1999–2002) engine. It covers the rear fueling actuator that the electronic control module (ECM) pulses to meter fuel from the fuel delivery housing.

Applicable truck models
This procedure applies to the ISM CM570 (1999–2002) engine and the shared CM570 fuel-system platform found in on-highway trucks. The same fault-code logic is carried across related CM570 engine families of that era. For engine identification and factory service references, see the manufacturer at the Cummins official website.
Who needs this Cummins ISM code 396 manual
The document explains that each fuel actuator connects to the ECM through a supply and a return wire and that the normally closed solenoid opens only on an electrical pulse during metering. It places the rear fueling actuator as the one closest to the rear of the engine. For this fault the listed failure modes are an open circuit, a short to ground, and high actuator resistance. The steps inspect the actuator harness connector pins for corrosion, bent pins, moisture and debris, then measure actuator resistance before any replacement.
This guide suits diesel technicians and workshop owners who face a rear fueling actuator open-circuit or high-resistance fault and want the ordered wiring checks. It reads as fault code 396 troubleshooting steps for the actuator circuit, so the ECM circuit diagnosis stays ordered and evidence-based rather than a parts-swap guess, and it maps cleanly onto a scan-tool session on the CM570 engine platform.
