Engine orange light
CLK 280, 2006, the engine light came on, I connected up the icarsoft i980 and went through all the systems, no DTCs were high lighted, any suggestions on where to go next?

My i980 indicated no DTCs after a CEL a couple weeks ago. I ran a manual diagnostic on the engine then used escape to the prior screen and it would then read the codes.

When I could not read any codes with the CEL on, since was just a short time between the CEL and the attempt to read the code, I assumed it was due to some timing issue between the event and when it's logged or I just did something wrong. That has only happened twice out of maybe 15 reads. In any case, run a diagnostic and it will then read everything logged, whether associated with the diagnostic you ran or not.
