Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / May 2005CHECK ENGINE LIGHT
I JUST PURCHASED A 1996 E 320 I WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE ELECTRONICS LIGHT CAME ON. AS I AM NEW TO OWNING A MERCEDES I AM READY TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT SERVICE BUT I ASSUME THIS WILL COST A LOT. IS IT OKAY TO LET A REGULAR MECHANIC TAKE A LOOK OR DOES IT HAVE TO BE SERVICED BY THE DEALER ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS SKIVELLI If you are a little handy, you can go to an Autozone or some autoparts store that can let you use their OBD2 scanner. Plug it in and read the P code. It'll give you an idea of why it came on. > If you are a little handy, you can go to an Autozone or some autoparts > store that can let you use their OBD2 scanner. Plug it in and read the P > code.

Drive the car for up to a week and see if the light doesn't go out again. On Tue, 10 May 2005 16:37:44 -0400, "Peter" <pcklein@comcast.net> wrote: >Have the bulb removed so it doesn't light up!
