2016 GLE 300d throwing code P246364 and P246385? Help

Last night I was going to do dpf regeneration with Xentry and was unable to do so.

Unfortunately, after I logged out of Xentry car went into limp mode. I turned the car and off and the CEL came on. I cleared the codes and they come back again. Somehow i messed up something and still unable to do dpf regen!!!

Prior to that I had no issues whatsoever but I thought id need to do the manual regeneration as for the last couple of months I’ve beed doing a lot of 25 mph driving.

What is soot contest.? If you are in US, you should have AEM warranty?
From what I know, once you exceed 200%, the car computer will no longer touch regeneration and you need to do mechanical cleaning.

Its at 190 %.

I did manual regen cus like I said I had been doing a lot of city driving and I knew the temps havent reached high enough for an automatic regen. Im in the US.

Can you take it out on the highway and flog it enough to get it to regen on its own?

Otherwise, it should be covered under the extended warranty.

My Bluetec sedan is city car and regenerate in traffic just fine. Bare in mind I am in warm climate.
You did not answer my question about AEM warranty?
With 190% of soot you might be past self-regeneration limits.
That is why advise ScanGauge monitoring to avoid such situation.
Do you drive with high fuel level?

im in midwest mainly driving in missouri and iowa - below freezing temps in winter.

I have read up here on the forums about AEM but I do not know how to go about making a claim.

Which ScanGauge is best for my car?

I never let the tank go below half full and I usually only use Shell Diesel - I avoid biodiesel.

check this site, or following link for you warranty status.
Both ScanGauges will do the job, but #3 beats #2 hands down

The claim is a nice bit of free money, but the real important stuff is the upgrades to the emissions equipment and the additional warranty extension.

Most of my miles is on suburban and rural roads. 55 mph is the exception, not the rule. No problems (yet, knock on wood) with regnerations. Sometimes when I pull in to the yard and get out I can smell it, and I know it was in progress. It smells like a melted plastic bag, or p-tex, if you've ever repaired ski bottoms.
