Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on your 2020 Lexus RC F is a serious warning that indicates an active misfire or a condition that could damage the catalytic converter. A flashing light often means fuel is igniting incorrectly and unburned fuel is entering the exhaust, which raises temperatures and risks costly downstream damage.

We use OEM parts and factory procedures to make repairs that restore engine efficiency and prevent long-term failures.

2020 Lexus RC F Check Engine Light Reset
