Hi everyone, sorry if this has been asked before, but i have a couple codes on my eco diesel and wondering if anyone can help me with some form of info. we have been in a polar vortex the last week or so, and my gf forgot to plug in my truck in -28 degree night. I started it the next morning and ended up getting a P0299 code (turbocharger underboost) loss of power and very hard to get up to speed. My local dealer said i should have plugged it in for a few hours before i tried to start it, (obviously would have done that if i knew it wasn't plugged in before i started it). put truck in heated garage for 10 hrs today and tried starting it again, code was gone, but when i pulled it out of heat it threw another P0299 (turbo underboost) again, followed about 5 mins later by P2463 (diesel Particulate Filter restriction-soot accumulation) dash says filter at %100 need service see dealer. my truck only has 26,000 km's on it.

Anyone have any ideas

You'll need to force a regen since it says your at 100%. Likely the truck will not complete it by itself. The dealer can do this, and some aftermarket tools can do it as well.

I would avoid it if possible, but that's just me. Yes, especially since it's still under warranty.

Ok thank you, any suggestions on a good scanner or something I could run a regen myself with?

There's only a few tools out there that will do it once it reaches 100% from memory, and the dealer is one of the few that has the tool. Luckily I've never experience that..

If you have a larger diesel shop near you, you might give them a call to see if they can help.
