Our certified technicians will perform a prioritized diagnostic to isolate misfires, fuel trim irregularities, ignition faults, or fuel-system issues.

2020 Lexus RX 350 Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2020 Lexus RX 350 include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean conditions), and oxygen sensor codes such as P0135. Left unaddressed, these codes can escalate costs: an oxygen sensor or EVAP repair is relatively affordable but ignoring it can lead to poor fuel economy and emissions failures; misfires can quickly damage the catalytic converter, resulting in a higher-cost replacement; and persistent fuel-trim issues accelerate engine wear. At Herb Chambers Lexus of Hingham, our approach prioritizes correct diagnosis using OEM-level scan tools and targeted repairs, reducing repeat visits and long-term expense. We clearly outline repair costs and show how prompt service produces savings over time. For convenience, schedule appointment online, and check our service specials for current savings.

2020 Lexus RX 350 Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2020 Lexus RX 350 is a simple step that should follow a complete diagnosis.

Choosing the dealership for resets and repairs gives you OEM parts, factory diagnostics, and documented repairs that protect warranty coverage; warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid.
