U Codes are acommunication code, they can be ignored and are common.

Does the B0338 have a C or H after it?

"H" = History
"C" = Current

Typically you can ignore a History Code also, it might be something to keep a log of in case there's additional codes that pop up in the future, it might help the diagnoses better.

A Current code is one that requires your immediate attention... I believe since you're showing both a H and C that it malfunctioned in the past (but before the the 40 or so ignition cycles that it takes to clear a code) and it is currently faulting out again.

Check the connection and wiring before just throwing money at it!
