At Mercedes-Benz of Tampa our technicians don’t simply clear codes; they interpret manufacturer-specific fault data to identify root causes and recommend OEM repairs that maintain performance and warranty compliance.

2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE Check Engine Light Codes

Understanding common check engine light codes for your 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE helps owners in Tampa make informed decisions. Codes for oxygen sensors (O2), mass airflow (MAF), ignition misfires (P0300–P0312), and emissions control often appear. Ignoring an O2 or MAF fault can reduce MPG and damage downstream components—fuel economy declines and catalyst repairs can escalate costs. Misfire codes left unresolved may harm catalytic converters and cause expensive repairs. At Mercedes-Benz of Tampa we identify codes quickly with OEM tools and explain repair vs. replacement scenarios so you know expected costs and the savings of correct repairs. Our certified technicians, OEM parts, and manufacturer procedures reduce repeat failures and preserve vehicle value. We support owners with transparent estimates, warranty guidance (repairs under warranty must be done at a certified dealership), and flexible payment options like service financing.
