Problem with the check engine light on a Mercedes E-Class

Hello, I own a 2003 Mercedes E-Class with 178,000 km on the odometer and a gasoline engine. I've noticed that the check engine light is coming on. Additionally, when registering my car, I can't find the 'Essence' option, only 'Gasoline' and 'Diesel'. Could you help me understand these problems? Sincerely.

Summary of the thread

The check engine light on a 2003 Mercedes E-Class may be caused by a loose gas cap, which should be checked and tightened. If the light remains on, using an OBD-II scanner to read error codes is recommended to identify the underlying issue. Additionally, for car registration, 'Essence' is synonymous with 'Gasoline', so the 'Gasoline' option should be selected.

For the check engine light, start by checking if the gas cap is properly tightened, as a loose cap can trigger the light. If the light remains on, consider using an OBD-II scanner to read the error codes, which can help identify the issue. Regarding the registration, 'Essence' is another term for gasoline, so you should select 'Gasoline'. Let me know if you need further assistance or if the check engine light persists after these steps.
