Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light often signals an active misfire that can damage the catalytic converter or lead to sudden loss of power. For a 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT this is a serious symptom: untreated misfires can overheat exhaust systems and lead to expensive downstream repairs. At Park Place Motorcars Dallas, our technicians prioritize flashing light diagnostics — we perform immediate scan-and-inspect workflows using Mercedes-Benz OEM diagnostic tools to identify misfires, fuel delivery issues, ignition faults, or sensor failures. Our process includes a rapid safety assessment to determine if the vehicle is safe to drive, followed by a clear recommendation and transparent estimate. We highlight available service specials when applicable and explain how dealer-performed repairs with OEM parts deliver long-term value and preserve warranties.

2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Check Engine Light Codes

Common diagnostic trouble codes for a 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT include P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim/system lean), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency below threshold), and various oxygen or mass air flow sensor codes.
