Can you clear the B Electric Drive check engine light on your own?

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.

When to Get Mercedes-Benz B Electric Drive Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2014 Mercedes-Benz B Electric Drive drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your B Electric Drive might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life."

That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Mercedes-Benz B Electric Drive doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2014 Mercedes-Benz B Electric Drive drivetrain? Minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Big repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
