Mama MIA! This van!!!

Lost power, went to the DPF screen and saw the DPF at 124%... again. Dropped it off at dealer to get it fixed. While they had the van I also decided to get the Service A performed.

Here's the description of everything Mercedes did on the van from fixing the DPF issue to the recalls, to the Service A

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HOURS:
4.40 TECH(S): 1276
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS COMING ON, DPF IS NOT REGENERATING PLEASE CHECK AND ADVISE
CEL is on when starting engine. Road test vehicle (11:18 @ 14904 miles 11:36am @ 14909 miles). Severe lack of power is experienced. Transmission hangs in gear when shifting.
Connect battery charger and test for codes w/ SDS P246364, P246385 & P245385. Evaluate Freeze Frame data and determined P246364 & P246385 "The fill level of the diesel particulate filter is too high. Regeneration of the diesel particulate filter is disabled" triggered the CEL. Inspect fill level of the DPF 21.7g of soot. Inspect fill level of fuel tank

64.1L. Perform Collation of Diagnostic performance Data.
Test DPF differential pressure sensor (B28/8) w/ actual values @ 76C difference of 0 hPa. Disconnect B28/8 19hpa. R&R CDI Control unit (N3/47), test continuity of wiring between N3/47 & B28/8 0.1 ohms. Test pin socket integrity at N3/47 & B28/8 tight. Inspect routing of hoses to DPF filter for kinks and chaffing ok. Inspect threaded connections at filter seated / tight. Perform compression test: difference of 4.8 rpms detected. R& engine air filter housing. Test filtered air inlet pipe and crankcase ventilation system for leaks tight. R&R filtered air inlet pipe and connected adapter to turbo inlet.
Pressurized
charge air system to 300 mbar w/ gauge & inspect for leaks

system is leak tight. Test tail pipe for carbon fouling white color. Pressure test exhaust system and inspect for leaks no leaks detected. Performed plausibility check of exhaust temp sensors ok. After plausibility test, current code for P242D00 "Temperature sensor upstream of diesel particulate filter (B19/13) has an open circuit or short to positive"
" set. Disconnect B19/13 and test voltage supply

5.03V. Test internal resistance of B19/13 795 ohms.
Disconnect Temperature sensor upstream of catalytic converter and test internal resistance as a comparison 273
ohms.
Replaced temp sensor upstream of DPF due high internal resistance. Road test vehicle and perform manual regeneration while driving (12:42pm @ 14909 miles 1:24pm @ 14928 miles), after approx. 14 miles regeneration was successful, continued driving and monitor performance of temp sensors ok. Recheck fill level at conclusion of road test 0.4g. Cleared codes. Performed post repair Collation of Diagnostic performance Doto per 505. System functoning as Designed.
