You may be driving your Mercedes-Benz on Providence roads or starting up your car and notice the check engine light come on. While the check engine light is usually an indicator of an underlying issue, resetting the light if you know the cause of the issue is minor is quick and easy. Learn how to reset the check engine light with the service department at Mercedes-Benz of Warwick.

Have Your Vehicle Inspected

If your Mercedes-Benz vehicle is flashing the check engine light, you should have your vehicle looked at immediately. The issue could be a minor fix but could also be something more serious, so you want to have your vehicle inspected right away. If you see your check engine light flash while cruising the East Greenwich roads, here are some possible causes:

  • Damaged or loose fuel cap
  • Faulty oxygen sensor
  • Damaged/clogged catalytic converter
  • Faulty mass air flow sensor
  • Damaged/old spark plugs

To have your vehicle inspected and get the issue diagnosed, schedule a visit at our service center to get you back on the Cranston roads in no time.
