"Issue: customer has observed 'check engine light'

Bulletin number

Component

Engine and engine cooling: exhaust system

Summary

"issue: customer has observed 'check engine light' - also known as 'engine malfunction indicator lamp (mil)' - illuminated in the instrument cluster & dtc p2096-00 and/or p2097-00 is evident in the PCM. A concern in the PCM diagnostic software has been discovered, which when combined with a specific customer drive cycle can lead to the false flagging of this dtc. Work is on-going to deliver revised PCM software; timing is to be confirmed. Exhaust system leaks outside design specification can increase the likelihood of repeat failures. Jlr have recognised that the supplied leak check equipment does not fit on certain lc - discovery sport exhaust tail pipes. A solution is being sourced."
