2020 Lexus RC 300 Check Engine Light Codes

At Herb Chambers Lexus of Hingham we see a predictable set of diagnostic trouble codes on the 2020 Lexus RC 300: oxygen sensor (P0130–P0167), catalytic converter efficiency codes (P0420), mass airflow sensor faults (P0100–P0104), and ignition misfire codes (P0300–P0312). Each of these codes can point to issues that grow more costly over time — a failing O2 sensor can worsen fuel economy and damage the catalytic converter, turning a modest sensor replacement into a multi-hundred dollar catalytic unit and labor bill. A persistent misfire may lead to catalytic damage and engine wear, compounding repair costs and downtime. Choosing Herb Chambers Lexus of Hingham in Hingham, MA means you gain factory-trained technicians, OEM diagnostic tools, and a clear repair plan that minimizes immediate expense while protecting long-term vehicle value. We explain costs upfront, highlight available service specials, and offer service financing so you can address necessary repairs now and spread the payments.
