2025 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Check Engine Light Reset

The process to reset a check engine light on a 2025 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class can seem straightforward, but a reset without a proper repair only hides an underlying issue. At Mercedes-Benz of Chesterfield our technicians first perform a full diagnostic to retrieve trouble codes and confirm root causes, then recommend OEM repairs when necessary. We explain the difference between a temporary reset and a confirmed repair so you avoid repeat trips and costly long-term damage. Using dealer tools and manufacturer software ensures resets are done correctly and any required adaptations or relearns are completed. Choosing dealership service means you get factory-trained technicians, genuine parts, and repairs that preserve warranty coverage.
