2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class Check Engine Light Codes

The check engine light codes for the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class range from simple emissions sensor faults (P0130–P0167 family) to more complex turbocharger, fuel delivery, or evaporative system codes. In Lynnfield, MA, Mercedes-Benz of Lynnfield specializes in decoding those messages with factory-level diagnostic scanners that read Mercedes-specific data and freeze-frame information. Common codes like oxygen sensor failures or evaporative system leaks can lead to degraded fuel economy and failed emissions tests if unaddressed — both immediate inconveniences and long-term costs. More serious codes affecting turbocharger performance or fuel system pressure, if ignored, risk catalytic converter damage or engine misfire that can escalate repair bills dramatically. Our certified technicians explain each code in plain language, estimate repair costs, and show how timely service at our dealership often saves money over time by preventing secondary damage.
