2021 Mercedes-Benz Metris Check Engine Light Codes

Park Place Motorcars Dallas sees a range of diagnostic trouble codes on the 2021 Mercedes-Benz Metris. Codes related to oxygen sensors (P0130–P0167) often indicate inefficient combustion or exhaust leaks—left unaddressed, these can lead to poor fuel economy, failed emissions tests, and expensive catalytic converter damage. Ignition misfire codes (P0300–P0312) signal worn spark components or fuel delivery problems that, if ignored, degrade engine life and increase repair costs. Evaporative emission system codes (P0440–P0455) are commonly driven by loose or damaged gas caps or EVAP system leaks; early repair prevents check engine recurrence and preserves fuel economy. Our certified Mercedes-Benz technicians in Dallas use factory diagnostics to rank the urgency of each code and estimate repair costs so owners can understand immediate and long-term financial impact.
