When should I come in for Mercedes-Benz S560 differential service?

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my S560?

Can you clear the S560 check engine light on your own?

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

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.
