P246E

I had a ford technician plug in and check my CEL. Says P246E, Bank 1 sensor 4, exhaust system fault. Im leavin for holidays in a couple of days but dealer to busy before I leave. Is this something that will leave a guy stranded on the side of the road? I've already been towed once...

Right now it doesn't seem to be affecting performance any...

What did the dealer suggest when he pulled the code?

I would probably have it looked at during my vacation when I don't need the truck. Or, buy a unit like the insight so I could clear the code if I got stranded.

Clearing the code will not solve the basic problem. Ask the dealer the consequences of driving with a real problem. It could be a sensor problem, but you don't know. I would be careful about driving the truck with a real problem.

The tech had told me a most likely a sensor replacement but no comment on whether a guy could continue on his way without consequence.
I was just wondering if anyone had driven any length of time with the same, thanks for the replies
