Cummins fault code 1879 is the Cummins Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter Differential Pressure Sensor Circuit – Voltage Above Normal or Shorted to High Source document for the ISX11.9 CM2250 (2010-12) engine platform, a 15-page PDF that reproduces the official fault code write-up read with Cummins INSITE. The ECM supplies 5 volts and a ground to the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor, a combination sensor that reads both filter differential pressure and outlet pressure.

What Cummins fault code 1879 means
It sets when the differential pressure signal voltage is greater than 4.75 VDC for more than 2 seconds. A default differential pressure value is used, diesel exhaust fluid injection and both active and stationary regeneration are disabled, and the EGR valve closes. The document walks a technician through the summary and the guided troubleshooting steps needed to confirm and clear the code.
