2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Coupe Check Engine Light Codes

Ignoring these codes can lead to costly consequences: a persistent lean condition can damage the turbocharger and catalytic converter, misfires can ruin catalytic converters and lower fuel economy, and faulty oxygen sensors can produce higher emissions and poor performance.
