What causes a GLA45 AMG’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Can you clear the GLA45 AMG check engine light on your own?

You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. 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.
