C350e check engine light - P1D03 P1D01

https://www.engine-codes.com/p1d01.html
https://www.autocodes.com/p1d03.html

Hey guys,
I have just done a quick test on my car with an OBD reader after the check engine light came up on my c350e a couple days ago.

The above stated codes are showing up on the faults. Can anyone point me in the right direction, where to start looking and troubleshooting? The links above don't give me enough information.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did do a search on the forum but didn't seem to find anything helpful in my situation.

Thank you!

Your starter motor might not be working, get it checked by Mercedes

@JazzyStahh did you figure out what those codes mean?

Also when your CEL came on, did it stay on? Mine came on once but after a restart it cleared. When I pulled codes, there were none.

Sorry I’m failing to understand how it could be the starter motor. I’m confident you speak with experience of this but it’s just me I just don’t get it. May I also kindly ask did your have this problem and if so had it been sorted ?

it seems my hybrid system is playing up. If I drove with eco mode/hybrid it seems to be charging it self when before the issue that never used to happen. Regards

I think @JazzyStahh is alluding that the starter motor is faulty. If you fully charge the battery and drive around in Comfort E-Mode only do you run into the same jerk? If not it makes sense that in hybrid mode it might be the starter motor when the system tries to switch on the petrol engine
