2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class Check Engine Light Codes

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class commonly reports codes tied to oxygen sensors (P0130–P0167 range), evaporative system leaks (P0440–P0457), ignition misfires (P0300–P0306), and catalytic converter efficiency (P0420). In Lynnfield, owners rely on Mercedes-Benz of Lynnfield for precise code interpretation—our certified technicians correlate fault codes with real-world symptoms so you avoid misdiagnosis. For example, ignoring an oxygen sensor code can reduce fuel economy and damage catalytic converters; that can turn a small $200–$400 sensor repair into $1,000–$2,500 in downstream exhaust system costs. An unresolved misfire accelerates catalytic wear and may lead to engine damage, increasing repair bills dramatically. Evaporative system leaks left unattended can fail emissions tests and cause fuel odor. Choosing Mercedes-Benz of Lynnfield delivers transparent estimates, OEM parts, and documentation that protect vehicle longevity. We frequently provide service financing to address immediate needs while spreading cost, and you can check current service specials or schedule service online for a fast, accurate diagnostic visit.
