2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter include sensor faults (P01xx/P02xx series), emissions-related codes for DPF or NOx systems, and turbo or boost-related codes. Left unaddressed, oxygen sensor or NOx sensor failures increase fuel consumption and emissions; DPF issues can lead to expensive regeneration or replacement; turbo faults lower power and towing capacity and may damage the engine if oil supply is compromised.
