Lean Exhaust

![Cool](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/icons/icon6.gif)
Hi all,
Hoping I can bend your ears for some advice. The check engine light came on and I took it to a local mechanic to diagnose the issue. Keep in mind I live in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia and the nearest dealership is a 4 hour drive away. The local mechanic told me it was diagnosed as 'Lean exhaust condition on bank 2', and cleared the code thinking that the insanely loud stock exhaust was aftermarket. The car is still under warranty. My question is, should I have it towed to the nearest dealership 4 hours away? Is the fact that he cleared the code going to have any repercussions as it pertains to warranty, etc?
Thanks for your time and input!

Is that true?
A service advisor told me that they couldn't perform warranty work without a code actually present.
I had cleared it with a cheap scanner (wasn't thinking

I was simply asked to come back if/when the CEL returned.
Also: +1 on the battery.
As many have recommended before: disconnect & reconnect the battery to be sure.

To make it more "difficult" for customers, some will say, even though the code is stored, they have to actually see/hear the issue...So there's that. Cannot speak to the JLR repair protocol only that I have seen the historical codes in the listing even after they have been cleared. It is very detailed too...It tells you the time of day, temp, what happened, how many times etc...
