How often will I need Mercedes-Benz C300 differential service?

What causes a C300’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

If your C300 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 reset your C300’s malfunction warning light at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended.
