2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Check Engine Light Codes

The check engine light in a 2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class can be triggered by a set of common codes that range from minor to urgent. In Lynnfield, MA, Mercedes-Benz of Lynnfield sees frequent codes for oxygen sensor faults, EVAP leaks, misfires, and catalytic converter efficiency. An oxygen sensor issue can degrade fuel economy and emission performance—left unchecked, it increases fuel cost and risks catalytic damage. EVAP leaks often begin as simple repairs but can cause failed emissions tests if allowed to persist. Misfires harm performance and can damage the catalytic converter, multiplying repair costs. Our dealership uses OEM diagnostics and factory-trained technicians to identify codes quickly, reducing the time and expense of trial-and-error repairs. Diagnosing and repairing early often costs less overall than letting problems escalate; we emphasize transparent estimates and long-term savings.
