Why is my C300 malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your C300’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you reset your C300’s malfunction warning light at home?

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