The Cummins ISX code 3733 manual is a 12-page PDF that documents fault code 3733, the crankcase breather filter heater circuit fault set for voltage above normal or shorted to high source. It explains that the crankcase breather heater keeps the breather filter housing from freezing, that the ECM supplies 12 VDC when heating is commanded, and that this code is set when the heater signal voltage stays above 1.5 VDC for more than 10 seconds. The procedure is credited to TruckFaultCodes.com and covers the circuit description, component location and full troubleshooting steps.
