If your GLC has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you clear the GLC check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended.
