Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on your 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is an urgent indicator: it often means a misfire, catalytic converter risk, or a fault that could damage major systems if driven. At Plaza Motor Company in MO our factory-trained technicians treat flashing lights as priority cases. We perform fast on-lift inspections and computerized scans to capture live-data and pinpoint misfires, fuel delivery issues, or ignition faults. Immediate attention not only protects performance and safety but also reduces long-term repair costs by preventing secondary damage to the catalytic converter or engine internals. We provide transparent, itemized estimates and explain warranty implications—repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage.

2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for the 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class include oxygen sensor faults (P0130–P0167 range), misfire codes (P0300–P0312), and EVAP system codes (P0440–P0457). Left unaddressed, oxygen sensor failures reduce fuel economy and increase emissions; repeated misfires can ruin catalytic converters—repair costs escalate from simple sensor replacements to expensive exhaust or engine work. EVAP leaks may be inexpensive to fix initially but can lead to failed emissions tests and unnecessary component wear if ignored. Plaza Motor Company in MO emphasizes local convenience: factory tools, trained Mercedes-Benz technicians, OEM parts, and clear timelines. Our approach focuses on immediate savings—fixed right the first time—and long-term savings via preserved fuel efficiency, maintained resale value, and reduced risk of cascading failures.
