Default Check Engine Light

Driving home this evening (highway) noticed the CEL is lit. Only 350 miles, still on my second tank of gas.

No obvious faults, runs smoothly, auto-start/stop operating.

Haven't pulled the codes yet, but any guesses on what it may be?

2020 400 HSE, advanced tow package.

Anything show up in the land rover incontrol app? There is a status section, but I don't know if it will tell you anything useful.

Not clear what this is. But doing research. Anyone else see this code with a P400 Defender? One source indicated a transmission (the B) fault.

will keep y'all appraised.

Do had the truck at the dealer, here's the story:

Needs a new "Clean Air Duct" seems there is a service bulletin about this. The original one has a restriction that causes the EGR to improperly flow. They reset the CEL and will call when the part arrives, from where ever Land Rover Defender parts are sourced these days (he said England, I'm thinking Eastern Europe...).

Will keep folks appraised.
