Anyway to see why check engine light is on?
Drove about 1.5hrs then sat idling for about 10min while I answered an email then looked up and see the check engine on. It runs fine and I looked under the system messages or whatever that page is when off and nothing is there. I have it scheduled already for thursday for the software update so was going to let them see it then. Coolant, pressure, temps all are normal. Engine is td6 and I did the service reset and it’s still there.

You can also buy a simple ODB scan tool for $20 on Amazon. I bought a slightly more expensive one which connects to my iPad via Wifi, and it has come in pretty handy. I think these days a ODB scan tool is must for the toolbox given modern vehicles are computers on wheels. At least with this tool you can check the critical parts and clear codes.
Sorry to see you are having so many issues with the D5 from the dealer with delivery delays and small wear/tear items that was not mentioned, now an CEL (Check Engine Light). Hopefully that will be the end of it.

Not to detract from the original topic but, for such a sophisticated vehicle, does anyone else find it annoying that there are no guages for oil temp, transmission temp, and all of the other possible things one may want to monitor? I mean, with the full digital cluster, there should be no limitation there.

Just went by autozone, like an idiot i though my appointment was today but it’s tomorrow. Pulled code P229F which is NOx Sensor Circuit Range/Performance. Hopefully just a faulty sensor that can replaced relatively quickly while they update its software. I just connected it to my home WiFi hoping I can do something with that lol. Either way it’s fun to toy with.

I don’t really worry about oil temls but pressure would be really nice along with the tranny temp.

Endless emission system issues was the reason I dumped my last diesel (Mercedes), and went with the Si6.I'm genuinely interested in your experiences with the Td6.

Apparently is like 6 to 8 hrs to software update and with the check engine for a Nox sensor they can’t finish it today. At GM anytime I had warranty work I either got a loaner or a rental from them. LR is giving me a free ride within 15miles and leaving me unable to meet with a client in another city this afternoon. Bummed :-(
