2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is more than erasing a code; it requires verifying that the underlying fault has been resolved. At Park Place Motorcars Dallas we perform a complete diagnostic scan, repair the root cause, and clear codes using OEM procedures so the system completes its readiness cycles properly. Dealer-performed resets ensure warranty compliance and avoid repeated failures that can arise when resets are attempted without fixing the cause. We provide full transparency: a clear explanation of findings, itemized repair estimates, and the benefits of OEM parts and factory software updates to keep the vehicle operating as designed. Our certified technicians also check related systems—battery health, charging system, and sensors—to prevent reoccurrence.
