Your Mercedes is a marvel of modern engineering, yet occasionally it will require help. When the Mercedes onboard computer illuminates the “check engine light” warning on the dashboard, it’s your vehicle asking for help.
There are literally thousands of conditions that can cause the check engine light to come “on”. Fortunately, not all require extensive diagnostics or time-consuming repairs. The simplest, and easiest to correct cause of the check engine light is a faulty gas cap – so gas cap replacement is all that’s needed. But more often than not, there will be diagnostics involved, and a repair to me made.
Here are top 10 most frequent reasons for the Mercedes check engine light, in no particular order:
- Faulty oxygen sensor
- Worn spark plugs
- Failing ignition coils
- Loose or cracked gas cap
- Failing catalytic converter
- Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor malfunctioning
- Emission system problems (EVAP sensor, EGR valve)
- Transmission problems
- Electrical System issues
- Vacuum leaks
