What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2015 Mercedes-Benz G-Class?

• It signals that the vehicle’s engine management system has detected an issue — causes range from minor (loose fuel cap) to serious (misfire, catalytic converter failure).
• Common triggers include evaporative emissions leaks, oxygen sensor faults, ignition or fuel system misfires, and turbo or exhaust system faults.
• Accurate code reading at our dealership pinpoints the root cause quickly, reducing unnecessary part replacement and saving you money over time.
• Many warranty-related issues require service at a certified dealer, and our factory-trained technicians handle those repairs to protect your coverage.

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

• Check for obvious causes first: a loose or missing fuel cap can trigger the light and is an easy fix.
• Observe symptoms — reduced power, rough idle, or a flashing light — and avoid driving if the light is flashing, as that indicates a severe misfire risk to the catalytic converter.
• Contact Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth or schedule service online at /service/schedule-appointment-pmf.htm for prompt factory diagnostics.
• For warranty-covered repairs, remember they must be performed at a certified dealership to maintain protection and ensure OEM parts are used.

• Minor repairs (sensor or gas cap replacement) can often be completed the same day; more complex jobs may take several hours to a full day depending on parts availability.
• Major repairs such as catalytic converter or engine diagnosis can require multiple days if parts or specialized labor are needed.
• We provide accurate time estimates up front and offer scheduling options through our service specials page at /promotions/service/mercedes-benz.htm.

• Prompt diagnosis at our dealership prevents small problems from becoming costly repairs; our factory-trained technicians use OEM parts to protect long-term value.
