Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my 190D?

A multitude of problems can activate your 190D’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can you clear the 190D check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my 190D?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your 190D’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your 190D forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
