Engine light problem in a Mercedes C-Class Diesel

Hello everyone, I have a 2017 Mercedes C-Class with a diesel engine and 115,000 km. Recently, the engine light came on and when I passed the ITV (technical vehicle inspection), I got an unfavorable result due to an 'OBD reading defect'. I haven't noticed any symptoms in the car. My question is: does anyone know if the Carly tool can identify the specific error and if it's possible to clear it with it? I appreciate any advice or experience you can share. Thanks!

The Carly tool can indeed read and clear error codes from your vehicle's OBD system. However, it's important to identify the specific error code before clearing it to ensure there are no underlying issues that need attention. Start by using the Carly tool to scan for the error code, and then research or consult a professional to understand what the code indicates. If you clear the code without addressing the root cause, the issue might persist or worsen. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
