My wife reported the 9.3 1.9 TID vector sport wouldn't rev above 2000 rpm when she went out today - no smoke, warning lights or anything to say what was wrong. I came home and it drives just as great as always - What could have caused the limp mode to engage?

I've had this problem a few times this winter and only today did it strike me that it is temperature related. Up to now I had assumed it was a blocked DPF and a combination of fuel cleaner and hard driving had been clearing it. However today, the temp was 1 - 2 degrees and straight away light...
