2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Check Engine Light Codes

The most common check engine codes for the 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class include oxygen sensor faults, catalytic converter efficiency codes, misfire codes (P0300 series), and evap system errors. An unresolved oxygen sensor issue reduces fuel economy and increases emissions — leaving it untreated can damage the catalytic converter, resulting in costly replacement. Misfires can lead to poor performance, higher fuel consumption, and potential engine damage. Evap leaks often start as minor but fail emissions tests if ignored.
