[@bmwfan8473]

We had the same issue with our 2015 Chevy Tahoe right after we got it in 2015. It had about 300 miles on it. The issue was related to the spark plugs. It was throwing up a similar code, but the mechanic said it was the computer thinking it was a miss fire (fuel to oxygen ratio low). They ended up replacing the spark plugs on cylinders 5 and 6 which were the ones throwing the code. This fixed the issue. We were towing a light trailer when this happened and since your engine was under more load then normal (going off road) it probably exposed the same type of issue. They said that in the factories the spark plugs can be damaged when being installed.

The last range rover I let in my shop was a 2018 with 31k miles. It had 22 codes stored including ”sunroof closing too slowly”. Major problem was a cracked intake manifold which was $1100 dollars plus 5 hours.

[@fj400007]

I think the engine check light was the result of that engine not being able to cope at high altitude.

[@marcinhernik1270]

I am willing to bet that altitude and possibly fuel type was the culprit here? Was there a break in period on these, not sure if that matters nowa days... Although shouldn't LR have engineered that into consideration?

[@mattv5281]

I live in Colorado, and I see car companies testing prototypes in the mountains all the time. I guess I've never seen a prototype LR, but I'm sure they tested them somewhere at altitude.

[@lonerider5315]

People who think altitude are funny. Come on now it’s a Land Rover... they clearly have tested it at altitude. Also cars have been able to adjust to this for YEARS.... Most likely getting to much air (after adjustment for altitude) due to a vacuum leak or possible intake gasket

[@Gemini_0815]

Went to the alps this summer with my 19MY Landcruiser, fully packed, roof top tent and all. Drove a total of 1700 miles (car has total 35000 miles) and have been up to roughly 9000ft / 2750 m above sea level and back down to 1500ft not once but 7 times in 10 days. The car is a workhorse. Never had any problems. Pulls trailers, hauls family, goes off-road, does holiday trips. Not a single fault so far. Nothing replaced. I bet my wiper blades will last longer than the Defender engine.

[@travisb9130]

This thing has a turbo. High altitude really does not affect boosted engines as much as na engines. It probably does require premium fuel and it seems where they live the highest they can get is 91. It may require higher such as 93.

[@harryli6138]

I recall my friend's 2019 silverado 1500 5.3 v8 with DFM had the same thing. After a couple days and less than 200 miles the check engine light went on. That was a close to 50k truck. He didn't take it to a dealership cuz it was a lease, and it just went away after a few days and nothing happened. My point is its no big deal, but DEFINITELY disappointing for ANY new cars, especially if its a purchase and not a lease.

[@yepitsme431]

While its true what you said, its relative at the same time; there are tons of little small things that the OEM "tied" to that stupid CEL that they shouldnt in the first place; in my opinion CEL should be for important problems, not like you closed the door to hard and the car didnt liked it and the CEL its on now (lol) i hope you get my point =)

@Jonathan Losito The Bravada is certainly not what I think of as a reliable vehicle, but at the same time, when parts break on your 30 year old Bravada, you can stop in at the local auto parts store without calling ahead and have a pretty good chance that they're going to have the part you need in stock and VERY reasonably priced. And even the most rare items are available used at a local junk-yard. I won't defend them as "good" or "reliable" but for the DIYer, all the S10 platform vehicles are ridiculously cheap to buy and own.

Cylinders go rich during the break in cycle, especially on turbo engines. This could be part of the issue. Not critical in the first 500 miles or so. I am sure the dealer will say the same thing. No worries guys! Great video.

[@philtripe]

@Keith Phaneuf thats right... its a bad idea with a turbo engine... even normally aspirated you should hold off full throttle till the end of brake in and even then just touch the full throttle for a millisecond and come right back to three quarters or half throttle... each time you drive getting closer to redline... i like to do a full tank of gas over 4 days letting it fully cool between runs and on the fifth day, run the gears as hard as the law will allow

[@desertsoldier41]

Tommy is probably right..the dealer will record the code then submit a Tech case with a session file to Land Rover. Then Rover will either send the car home after clearing the code and call them back when the software fix is available...or they can find the bad values off the session file and create a quick patch in a few hours. If its a errant value in the air flow tables it would be a quick fix. Could also be that crap low octane fuel in Colorado too.

[@precisionc3656]

Mechanic here plus owner of numerous landrover products over the years and currently. Check engine light fyi is any problem that could impact emissions of the engine and in most cases multiple trips of the same code are needed to keep the light illuminated. I’d suspect that it may be an errant reading from a wide band oxygen sensor. I would reset and see if it returns. Could have been caused by fuel. Honestly the current Land Rover products really have been pretty reliable, no different to other makes in my opinion. The older range rovers were notorious for air suspension faults, fixed a few of those.
