Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light in a 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a serious warning: it usually indicates a severe misfire, catalytic converter threat, or another condition that can quickly damage the engine or emissions systems. When you see a flashing light, stop driving as soon as it is safe and have your vehicle inspected immediately to avoid further mechanical damage and higher repair costs later. At Park Place Motorcars Arlington, our Mercedes-Benz certified technicians prioritize safety and diagnosis speed. We use factory diagnostic tools to read live data, isolate misfires, and recommend precise repairs — from ignition coils and spark plugs to fuel injectors and exhaust components. Choosing dealership service delivers long-term savings: accurate repairs prevent repeat issues, preserve warranty coverage, and maintain vehicle value. We offer service financing to help you address urgent repairs now and pay over time, plus frequent service specials to offset costs. If your light is flashing, contact us or schedule appointment online and we’ll get you back on the road safely and efficiently.

2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class might seem straightforward, but a simple code clear does not address the underlying fault and can mask issues that worsen over time. At Park Place Motorcars Arlington we recommend a full diagnostic before any reset: our technicians capture and interpret trouble codes, assess freeze-frame data, and verify necessary repairs. Resetting without repair may temporarily silence the light but risks increased fuel consumption, emissions failures, and engine damage. Our dealership approach emphasizes transparency and OEM-quality repairs — we document findings, present repair options, and explain immediate and lifecycle savings from timely fixes. Repairs performed with genuine Mercedes-Benz parts and factory procedures help maintain your warranty; remember that warranty-covered work must be done at a certified dealership to remain valid. For convenience, take advantage of our amenities and service specials, and use financing if needed to address maintenance promptly. Ready to proceed? Schedule service with our team online.

2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class include P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency below threshold), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim/potential vacuum leaks), and various oxygen sensor or mass airflow sensor codes. Each code signals different urgency and repair cost implications: misfires can lead to bent rods or damaged catalytic converters if left unchecked; catalytic issues may require both sensor and exhaust component service; fuel-trim faults often start with less expensive repairs but can progress if ignored. At Park Place Motorcars Arlington in Arlington, TX, we evaluate codes with Mercedes-Benz calibrations to identify root causes quickly, preventing compounding repairs and reducing total ownership costs. Our technicians discuss repair options, expected costs, OEM part benefits, and the immediate & long-term savings of fixing issues early. We also provide service financing and attractive service specials to make necessary repairs accessible.
