2021 Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for the 2021 Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS that appear at Mercedes-Benz of Lynnfield include P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfires), P0420 (catalytic converter efficiency below threshold), P0171/P0174 (lean condition), P0442 (EVAP small leak) and various oxygen sensor faults. Left unfixed, a P0300 misfire can overheat and damage catalytic converters — a repair that can reach into the thousands — and repeated misfires can lead to internal engine harm. An ignored P0420 often signals converter inefficiency; replacing it on a high-performance luxury SUV is costly compared with addressing upstream causes early. EVAP leaks (P0442) may be inexpensive to fix but cause emissions failures and check-engine persistence that reduces resale value. At Mercedes-Benz of Lynnfield in Lynnfield, MA, our factory-trained technicians identify underlying causes quickly, provide itemized estimates, and prioritize long-term value. We use OEM parts, document recommended repairs, and highlight immediate and lifetime savings of prompt, dealer-level care.
