    Fault code 1993 says missing DPF filter. Removed the filter to check if cracked or broken, filter is fine. Replaced the diff pressure sensor (old one was melted) no sign of a short in the wiring, pressure tubes are clear and in correct position. Can anyone help with this headache?

    This code is hard to clear on purpose. Get the engine up to temp and then hold it at max rpm for at least 30 seconds. This should set the code inactive.
     
    BoxCarKidd and QUALITYTRUCK Thank this.

    I had the same problem after I replaced my dpf differential pressure. it turned out I'm a idiot and put the 2 hoses back on backwards although I was sure I didn't. ... wasn't my finest hour.

    right on the dpf filter, there are 2 metal lines running from the filter assembly... 1 from the front and 1 from the back which measure the differential pressure of the doc/dpf.
    they both run up to a black box about 3"x3" with the last few inches of line turning from metal to rubber.

    I found out the name thanks for your help I’ll let you know what happened. I just replaced new Dpf/doc filters and I’m still getting the fault code 1993 that the filters are missing
