2nd check engine light in less than 500 miles

[Emira123]

Hi,
I posted a few weeks ago after getting my first check engine light with about 300 miles on the car. That code was p1302. Also got “Engine reduced acceleration” warning on display.
That all went away the next day.

Last week, I dropped off my car for full PPF and ceramic coating.
Two hours after I dropped it off, I get a phone call from them after having the car washed.
They said upon starting the car they got a low oil level warning and check engine light.
They checked the oil level and that was fine.
They checked the code and it was P223D.
Something to do with the o2 sensor.
When I got my car back this week, the check engine light was still on. I cleared it today, drove it 15 minutes without any problems. After restarting the car a few hours later the check engine light came back again.

The car has less than 500 miles.
Any ideas what can cause code P223D? Again this happened right after the car was thoroughly washed.
Should I stop driving it?
Will call the dealer on Monday but wanted to see if anyone had any insights on this?
Thanks

In my experience it’s stupid to guess what an error code means. Just take it to the dealer. If you aren’t repairing it yourself then don’t worry

This is interesting, mine is an August 2023 delivery (V6) car, I have had the check engine light come on a couple of times, once a couple of months ago and again last weekend. My car is kept on charge but both times it coincided with the car being washed and only driven short distances, the last time I then left it without putting it on charge over night.
I contacted Lotus in Lewes and although they are a sales only department the manager suggested that I take the car out for a long run, today I did that as I had an appointment 40 miles away, went to the appointment and when I left again, hey presto - no check engine light!
I've had the HVac shroud installed but find that my Aircon blower is quite is quite loud and 'whistley' although it does work OK, so I wonder if it's still a problem. I also remember reading somewhere that there is a second battery in the Emira that only gets charged when the car is actually being driven (not on trickle charge) and the check engine light could be triggered by low voltage in that battery, that would explain my problems and the fact that it seems to be solved by a longer drive.

Re: Second battery(should not be a concern on new car)------I believe the alarm siren, part of the locking/antitheft/tamper system, has a lithium style battery powering the siren when system activated. It is charged by storage battery via wired connection. It has a life span of x years as do all batteries (manual on my 718 Cayman with this setup says approx 5years). When alarm battery begins failing it will increase parasitic draw from storage battery when car at rest since it constantly shows needing charge. If not using battery tender, storage battery will go flat much sooner; if on tender, storage battery will stay charged even though alarm battery wont, effectively masking faulty alarm siren. Off tender, storage battery will show more rapid discharge, leading one to think is failing when actually may be good. Checking parasitic draw will show elevated amperage aiding one in diagnosing main battery health/failure.
Of note, this was situation on 2017 Cayman (limited usage but never a problem for years without using battery tender until it became a problem!) I found after running down low battery issue; battery was only 2 yrs old, but alarm siren was ~7-8yrs old. Replacing alarm siren corrected problem-storage battery fine.
