Car is super sluggish & gives on of the dpf messages when started but says to “keep driving”

P2463: Powertrain control module
Possible causes for this engine code include:
Excessive soot accumulation due to insufficient DPF regeneration
Bad DPF pressure sensor
Insufficient diesel exhaust fluid Incorrect diesel exhaust fluid
Shorted or open wiring to the DPF injection system or exhaust pressure sensor
Defective PCM or a PCM programming error
Faulty exhaust pressure sensor
-- I'd start by looking at harnesses that are located near hot exhaust components and sharp exhaust shields.

P003A: Turbo boost control position exceeded learning limit
Possible causes include:
Turbocharger or supercharger vane adjustment
Faulty turbocharger or supercharger
-- Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector's pins.

P24A5: Exhaust Gas Recirculation Cooler Bypass Control Circuit /Open
Possible causes include:
Defective EGR cooler bypass valve
Clogged or damaged EGR cooler
Temperature switch malfunction
Excessive carbon buildup
Faulty or damaged wiring Corroded, damaged or loose connector
Defective ECM
-- I'd start looking around the EGR first

Since your saying the car is saying to keep driving I would attempt to clear the codes, for sure the 003a and p24a5.

The other codes might be preventing it from completing its regen.

Once cleared I would attempt a service regen following all precautions while it is doing it.

With any luck it will clear the dpf and the car will be ok.

Keep driving means that it is trying to regen. If it says that, well keep driving. I believe it is 40+ mph for X amount of time. Should regen and clear the dpf. Probably a lot of city miles.

This is the EGR bypass at 100k. The girls dirty

oh yeah, I'd replace that. I believe it's a fairly inexpensive part too (around 60$-65$)
