Check Engine Light!!!
Hi, Since yesterday, I got this light on in my S430. I know , it could be several reasons for that. I have OBDII code diagnostic device called "autotap", which is made to be used on American and Japanise cars. I fixed check engine light issues using that in my other cars. But the question is'"Can I use that to fix that problem in Mercedes?" If anybody has any knowledge, please help. Thanks.

I know that. What I am trying to find out:
Can I use that? and if not, what other options are there for me, to find out what causes the "engine light on". If I know the codes, I could try to resolve it myself, if it is some thing DYI.

Get the reader for the S class on ebay, works great, and comes with the codes. Works for the E class too.
