What is the most common reason for the check engine light on a 2015 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?

• Common triggers include ignition misfires, oxygen sensor failures, catalytic converter inefficiency (P0420), and evap system leaks.

• Addressing these items early at our dealership limits long-term costs and ensures repairs meet Mercedes-Benz standards.
• Repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage and use genuine parts and procedures.
