Mercedes Check Engine Light — What It Means & What to Do

December 12, 2025

A check engine light on your Mercedes can mean many things — from simple to serious. Here are the most common reasons we see:


1. Ignition Coil or Spark Plug Failure

Symptoms:

  • Rough running
  • Hesitation
  • Startup shaking


2. Turbo/Boost Issues

Common in 2.0L and AMG models:

  • Charge pipe leaks
  • Wastegate issues


3. Sensor Failures

Examples:

  • MAF
  • O2 sensors
  • Cam/Crank sensors


4. EVAP System Leaks

A very common cause.


5. Fuel Trim or Airflow Issues

We check intake leaks and fuel delivery.


6. Multiple Codes From Electrical Problems

Mercedes cars are electronically complex — we specialize in this.
