What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Coupe?

• The light signals that the vehicle’s onboard computer has detected a fault in emissions, engine, or drivetrain systems; severity ranges from minor to urgent.
• Common triggers include an open EVAP system, oxygen sensor faults, ignition misfires, or catalytic converter issues; some conditions affect emissions only, others risk engine damage.
• Our dealership performs a full readout with Mercedes-specific diagnostics to identify root causes quickly — this reduces repeat repairs and long-term costs.
• For warranties, remember any covered repair must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and ensure OEM parts are used.

What is the most common reason for check engine light on a 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Coupe?

• The single most common cause is a loose or faulty gas cap triggering an EVAP system code, followed by oxygen sensor or ignition misfire codes.
• Because the GLC-Class Coupe runs on premium unleaded, fuel-related issues or poor fuel quality can contribute to misfires and sensor faults.
• Ignoring common causes can lead to larger problems — for example, misfires can damage the catalytic converter, increasing repair costs substantially.
• Bring your vehicle to Mercedes-Benz of Lynnfield for a precise diagnosis and to take advantage of factory-trained technicians who help reduce immediate and long-term costs.

• Initial diagnostic scans typically take 30–90 minutes depending on the complexity; some issues are found and resolved the same day.
