What's the p2463 fault code mercedes?

A Mercedes equipped with a diesel engine may throw the P2463 code. The error indicates an issue with the emission's diesel particulate filter. The code is considered generic and applies to any diesel fueled engine manufactured after 1996. A Mercedes demonstrating the P2463 error is experiencing an accumulation of soot blocking the DPF filter. It's designed to remove at least 99 percent of the carbon particles or soot found in the Mercedes exhaust and over time can become restricted. Emissions are strictly monitored by federal laws that govern their standards. The PCM keeps track of exhaust pressures through sensors that will emit the P2463 code when pressure increases due to soot accumulation. In most instances, replacement of the DPF is required.
