You mean O2 sensor? That shouldn't prevent it from running. Maybe MAF sensor?Yes, they said it was an air / fuel ratio sensor that has shorted out.
Thanks... That should be a quick, easy fix, right?Yes, they said it was an air / fuel ratio sensor that has shorted out.
Now that you changed you remark to include "scheduled maintenance" I can't tell you which cars require it and when.Show me some gas cars made in the last 10 years with a fuel filter that is part of scheduled maintenance.
I put in scheduled maintenance because some people here will say, Well the fuel pump has a filter, that counts. If you want to get technical, ok, but it's just usually a single layer strainer and getting to it requires removing the pump which often requires removing the gas tank. Maybe I should have wrote, "cars haven't been equipped with normally replaceable fuel filters for a long time"Now that you changed you remark to include "scheduled maintenance" I can't tell you which cars require it and when.
The original assumption was "cars haven't been equipped with fuel filters for a long time" Which is NOT correct.
I figured a simple part number would tell you that.
My 2018 does in fact have a Gasoline fuel filter. The manual does tell you to change the filter according to the maintenance schedule, but being Mercedes, they don't tell you what that schedule is or if it only applies to diesel powered vehicles.

That would trigger the check engine light to turn on (and stay on). She told you it was flashing so that seems odd.Yes, they said it was an air / fuel ratio sensor that has shorted out.
Thats what I thought as well. I was updated over text and was told they diagnosed it as a shorted out air/fuel ratio sensor and the car was ready for pick up. The car is at a dealership 7 hours from there home so I believe they go to pick it up on Saturday (broke down while out of town). Maybe I will get more info then.You mean O2 sensor?

Sorry, thats all I have. I think they go to pick up the car on Saturday so if I get more info I'll gladly share. I do hope it is fixed for their sake.I was hoping the update would include more details especially with a six page thread going on.
They said only $300 of the work was covered. I told them since it's under factory warranty it should be free but I never got a response back. Supposedly it's back in running condition but they don't go to pick up the car until Saturday. Hopefully it gets them home safely and the issue is truly fixed.Thanks... That should be a quick, easy fix, right?
All good now? Cost?
Thanks in advance!
Did they also do the fuel pump recall while at it? ... assuming it was a Toyota dealership again for this repair.They said only $300 of the work was covered.
