2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Check Engine Light Codes

The most common check engine codes we see for the 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class at Park Place Motorcars Dallas are related to oxygen sensors (P013x/P014x), catalytic efficiency (P0420), misfires (P03xx) and EVAP system codes (P0455). Left unaddressed, these can escalate from a simple sensor swap to costly catalytic converter replacements, poor fuel economy, and potential engine damage. For example, a failing O2 sensor will reduce fuel economy and, if ignored, can lead to premature catalytic converter failure — a repair that can cost significantly more than the initial sensor replacement. Misfire codes often start with spark plugs or ignition coils; addressing them early protects the engine from cylinder damage. Our certified technicians in Dallas perform an OEM-level scan and outline repair options with clear cost comparisons so you understand immediate versus long-term savings. We use Mercedes-Benz parts to maintain performance and warranty integrity, and we can often perform diagnostics same day.

2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is simple when the underlying issue is fixed, but merely clearing codes without repair can mask problems and lead to repeat failures. At Park Place Motorcars Dallas we never recommend a reset without diagnosing and repairing the root cause. Our technicians use Mercedes-Benz factory tools to clear fault codes after confirming repairs and verifying repairs through a test drive and re-scan. This approach preserves warranty coverage and ensures your vehicle’s systems operate as designed. We also document all work and provide a clear service report so you understand the repair history and future maintenance needs. Choosing dealership service means OEM parts, certified technicians, and the protection of warranty-covered repairs performed at a certified facility.
