2012 C63 AMG Coupe
OBD Indicator! Help!!!

Hello everyone,
Earlier today, I drove my 2012 c63 to work from home then about an hour later I was leaving work to get something. However, as I was driving out of the parking lot I noticed my 2012 C63 coupe started to shake a little and it just felt very weak. I then looked at the dashboard and I noticed the OBD Indicator light on. Immediately I turned the car off and then I turned back on and the OBD Indicator light went away and everything seems normal now. Should I be worried? What could cause this? Any information would help. I just bought the car 2 weeks ago. Thanks.

You meant your CEL light came on? That yellow engine check light right?
Well looks like some misfires but difficult to say over the internet.
At least CEL is off again. How many miles on the car?

Take it to Pepboys or autozone to have them pull code... Might be easier than going to the dealership

If it was intermittent and now gone... It's probably just a sip of bad gas. It happens.

But, get someone to read the code.

17000 miles and the car seems perfectly fine now. If I let the dealership know what had happened will they be able to read even though there isn't any CEL or ODB lights on? Thanks for your helping response.

Yes. The CEL is an active code, but the computer stores all codes until wiped.

XENTRY also stores and can see a lot more data then a regular generic OBD2 reader.
