If quan1 will give us a better description of the actual symptoms it'll be easier for us to help.
The OP said "Limp Home Mode" which is a specific MB name for the condition indicating they understand what's happening.

Actually in a CAN based car like the E320 it's the ECU which sets the parameters for 'restricted operation'. It's never the engine or transmission. They just do what they're told.
