I scanned the computer the next day and found that it was an error for Engine running too lean at idle, Bank 2.
I cleared the code and went on my way. 2 days later the light is back.

Is anyone familiar with this fault and its usual diagnosis?
The vehicle cracked 100,000mi almost 1 week prior to this light coming on, but as I said earlier everything is operating normally.
Where should I start looking for the culprit(s)?
