2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350 Check Engine Light Codes
Common check engine light codes for a 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350 include oxygen sensor faults (P0130–P0167), catalytic converter efficiency (P0420), ignition coil or misfire codes (P0300–P0306), and battery/charging-related voltage codes. In Dallas, Park Place Motorcars Dallas diagnoses each code with Mercedes-specific tools to determine the underlying cause and the associated repair costs.

Charging and battery defects can cause erratic electronics and repeated codes; a certified battery replacement today prevents interior electrical failures and protects costly modules tomorrow.
