Check Engine Light Error Codes

Hi All.. Last few days, my ML350 2012 has been showing the Check Engine light on and off.. as my local MB dealer does not have the ability to plug in a computer to the car to see what the reason was (as the earliest they could give me a appointment was end of March), I found a local garage (Non MB) who had the computer which could be plugged in to see the reasoning.. Anyways, the error codes it was showing were

P100C00 (Current)
P100E00 (Current & Stored)
P161400 (Current)
P161500 (Current & Stored)

Anyways, as he is not a MB certified garage, he did not know what these codes were. He has cleared the codes and advised to revisit if the light comes back on..

Does anyone know what these codes mean??

Check out this web site: http://www.mercedesmedic.com/faultcodes/

Why not get your own OBD II reader - I bought one for my previous car that gave me lots of trouble (Cadillac, haha), and was very useful for my check engine light the other day. You could order one online, and I'm sure the auto repair type places cary them as well. You can probably pick up one for about $50-$100, it's a great tool to keep stashed away for when you or your friends get that dreaded yellow light

Here's the one I used: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_fr...c&LH_PrefLoc=1

Mercedes Codes

Hello Rexgold,

Do you recall what these codes were after all?

I have the same codes exactly on my 2015 GL360.

Cheers,
Matt
