2015 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT is straightforward with an OBD-II tool, but clearing codes without addressing the root cause can lead to recurring faults and failed emissions checks. At Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth we perform a full diagnostic before any reset so you get lasting results. Our factory-trained technicians use dealer-level equipment to identify pending issues, apply correct OEM repairs, and clear codes only after confirming a fix. That approach reduces long-term costs compared with quick resets at independent shops, and warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve protection.
