2022 Lexus IS 300 Check Engine Light Flashing
The check engine light flashing on a 2022 Lexus IS 300 usually indicates an active misfire or other condition that can rapidly damage the catalytic converter and engine. A flashing light is more urgent than a steady light because it means unburned fuel may be entering the exhaust, causing extreme heat and possible converter failure. Do not ignore flashing—reduce speed, avoid heavy load, and get the vehicle inspected immediately. Nalley Lexus Roswell recommends having the vehicle towed in rather than driving long distances; our factory-trained technicians will perform a prioritized diagnostic to prevent secondary damage. Immediate dealership service preserves warranty eligibility for covered defects and often prevents far costlier repairs down the road.
2022 Lexus IS 300 Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2022 Lexus IS 300 can be done with an OEM diagnostic tool, but clearing codes without addressing the root cause only delays problems. Dealers use Lexus-specific scanners to read and interpret freeze-frame data and pending codes so technicians can identify intermittent faults and perform correct repairs. Nalley Lexus Roswell recommends completing service here because factory-trained technicians, genuine parts, and documented diagnostics protect your investment and warranty. While some independents offer resets, certified dealership repairs are required for warranty-covered work. Choosing our service offers immediate savings through accurate repairs and long-term savings by preventing repeat visits and preserving vehicle value.
2022 Lexus IS 300 Check Engine Light Codes
Common codes for a 2022 Lexus IS 300 include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim/lean), P0300 (multiple misfires), P0455 (EVAP large leak) and oxygen sensor faults. Ignoring P0420 can lead to failed emissions tests and eventual catalytic converter replacement, which can cost $1,000–$2,500. Untreated misfires (P0300) can cause piston or catalytic damage, with repair costs ranging widely from $300 for ignition coils to several thousand dollars for engine or converter work. EVAP leaks like P0455 are often inexpensive to fix if addressed promptly ($100–$400). Nalley Lexus Roswell’s diagnostics and timely factory repairs minimize immediate outlays and reduce long-term ownership costs while preserving warranty coverage when applicable.
