Why is my ML55 AMG malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

If your ML55 AMG 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 ML55 AMG’s malfunction warning light at home?

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