Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on a 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300 is a sign of a serious misfire or active condition that could damage the catalytic converter. A flashing light means reduced performance and increased emissions; continuing to drive risks further engine damage and far higher repair costs. At Mercedes-Benz of Lynnfield we recommend you stop driving and bring the car in immediately so technicians can run a full diagnostic and battery and charging system check—sometimes a weak battery or poor connections can exacerbate misfires or trigger cascading faults. Our service lane uses OEM diagnostics, genuine parts, and factory-trained technicians to identify the fault, provide clear repair estimates, and restore safe operation quickly. We regularly bundle diagnostics with battery testing and replacement where needed, and our transparent pricing often results in lower lifetime costs compared with repeated fixes from non-certified shops.

We use only genuine Mercedes-Benz parts, uphold factory warranties, and provide documented repairs so your vehicle retains value and reliability.
