Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my GLA250?

A multitude of problems can activate your GLA250’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 GLA250 check engine light on your own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your GLA250's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.
