I'm guessing the Ford experts may know about this, but I spent 2 hours scratching my head and couldn't find anything online so I thought it could be worth posting.
Car had this fault code, I could clear the code but it came back as soon as engine was restarted.
I had serious doubts it was trying to regenerate in that time, but it kept coming back.
It also had various codes for Diesel Intake Air Flow Position Sensor which also kept coming back.
In the end, it turned out the alternator had been changed not too long ago and while that was done, the plug for the throttle body wasn't properly reconnected. After adapting the throttle body again, all codes cleared and I could manually regenerate without any problem.
Just to make life even more fun, I had been called out and told it had a gearbox fault, apparently it would sometimes stick in gears and rev high. After we had worked through and cleared all the fault codes it drove perfectly.
This was all with a Galaxy 2.0 TDCi, I think it was a 2010, although I wouldn't be surprised if this happens with other Fords.
