Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my CLK55 AMG?

Is it possible to reset the CLK55 AMG malfunction warning light on my own?

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

By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.
