Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this engine code. Searched around on google with not much luck any ideas would be great!

I would pull the EGT and clean it with electronics cleaner. Since it is located ahead of the DPF there is a good chance excessive particulate matter may have coated / plugged the sensor.

You can see the sensor though the P/S rear wheel well located right before the exhaust goes over the axle the 2nd sensor
Its is covered under power train warrenty that is 160 000km or 5 year
If you dont have power train warrenty anymore its pretty cheap sensor i think 80 bucks dont quote me on it but i know its not crazy and its very easy to change out
