Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common reason for check engine light on a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class?

• Loose or failing gas cap that causes fuel system pressure faults and triggers a code — an easy fix that prevents fuel vapor loss.
• Faulty oxygen sensor or mass airflow sensor leading to poor fuel economy and emissions faults if left unrepaired.
• Engine misfires from worn ignition coils or spark plugs; continued driving can damage the catalytic converter and increase repair cost.
• Our dealership diagnoses root causes with OEM-grade scanners to avoid unnecessary parts replacement and ensure warranty compliance.
