2013 Lexus LS 460 Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for a 2013 Lexus LS 460 include oxygen sensor (P0130–P0167), catalytic converter efficiency (P0420), mass airflow sensor (P0100–P0104), and misfire codes (P0300–P0308). Left unresolved, oxygen sensor faults degrade fuel economy and raise emissions while catalytic converter issues can lead to costly replacements and possible engine damage. Mass airflow or misfire problems can reduce power and accelerate wear on ignition and fuel systems.
