2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300 Check Engine Light Codes

When the check engine light activates on a 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300, specific diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) guide our technicians to the source—common codes include P0420 (catalytic efficiency low), P0171/P0174 (lean condition), P0300–P0304 (misfires), and P0130–P0167 (oxygen sensor faults). In Arlington, Park Place Motorcars Arlington uses manufacturer-grade scanners to read and interpret these codes immediately. Ignoring codes can escalate repair costs: an oxygen sensor failure left unchecked can damage the catalytic converter (thousands in replacement), misfires can foul spark plugs and harm the catalytic system, and persistent lean conditions can reduce fuel economy and accelerate engine wear. Our process focuses on diagnosing the root cause, offering OEM parts, and presenting transparent options so customers see the immediate and long-term savings of factory-correct repairs. With convenient appointment booking and a comfortable waiting area, we combine speed and quality to keep your C-Class performing like new.
