2014 Lexus IS F Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting a check engine light on a 2014 Lexus IS F can be done with an OBD-II scanner, but clearing codes without addressing the root cause hides problems rather than fixes them. At Nalley Lexus Roswell we perform a complete diagnostic, identify the underlying fault, and only then clear codes so the system can be retested. Using a factory-grade scanner ensures stored freeze-frame data and pending codes remain available for proper analysis. Choosing dealership service delivers immediate savings by avoiding repeat visits, and long-term savings through accurate repairs by Lexus-trained technicians. Note: warranty repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage and genuine parts.

Our team performs an expedited diagnosis to identify ignition, fuel, or sensor failures that cause misfires, preventing costly secondary damage. Immediate attention reduces the chance of expensive repairs later, and our factory-trained technicians use OEM parts to restore performance.
