Immediate, accurate service minimizes repair scope and expense; delaying can multiply costs by necessitating downstream repairs.

2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris Passenger Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes on a 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris Passenger include oxygen sensor faults (P0130–P0167), misfire codes (P0300–P0306), turbo or boost sensor codes, and evaporative system codes related to the fuel cap or purge valve.

Turbo-related codes can signal actuator or sensor failure that reduces power and can increase repair complexity if deferred.
