Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2020 Lexus IS 300 often indicates a severe condition such as an engine misfire that can damage the catalytic converter if driven without attention. A flashing light differs from a solid light because it usually means active misfires or conditions that cause unburned fuel to enter the exhaust system. At Herb Chambers Lexus of Hingham we treat flashing codes as priority repairs: our technicians will perform a fast, thorough scan, inspect ignition components, fuel delivery, and emissions systems, and deliver a clear estimate before any work begins. Because early intervention preserves engine health and fuel economy, acting now can prevent larger and more expensive repairs later, delivering both immediate and long-term savings. We use OEM parts and factory procedures so repairs last and maintain warranty eligibility — repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership. Take advantage of our current service specials and ask about service financing during your visit. To protect your vehicle and avoid further damage, schedule service online or contact Herb Chambers Lexus of Hingham today for priority diagnostics and repair.
