  • Accurate interpretation requires a factory-level scan; our technicians use Mercedes-Benz diagnostic equipment to identify the precise cause.

2026 Mercedes-Benz EQS Check Engine Light Flashing

When the check engine light is flashing on a 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQS, it usually indicates an active, possibly severe fault—commonly a misfire, power electronics error, or a thermal management issue that could damage the battery or drivetrain. A flashing alert demands immediate attention: continued driving can exacerbate damage and raise repair costs dramatically. At Mercedes-Benz of Sudbury, our factory-trained technicians can quickly isolate the fault using manufacturer-grade tools and controlled tests. Prompt, certified repairs protect warranty coverage and deliver both immediate savings by preventing catastrophic failures and long-term savings through correct OEM procedures. Contact /service-scheduler.htm right away if you see a flashing light; do not delay.

2026 Mercedes-Benz EQS Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQS can be done with an OBD-II compatible factory scanner, but a reset alone does not fix underlying faults. A true, lasting reset follows diagnosis and repair so the system clears permanently rather than returning shortly after. Performing resets and repairs at Mercedes-Benz of Sudbury ensures dealer-level software updates, correct calibration, and preservation of warranty entitlement—repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership. Our approach reduces the risk of repeat visits and delivers long-term cost savings compared with short-term fixes. Schedule a proper diagnostic and reset via /service-scheduler.htm to protect your vehicle and investment.
