2022 Lexus NX 350 Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on a 2022 Lexus NX 350 usually signals an active misfire or another condition that can quickly damage the catalytic converter or turbo system. A flashing light is more urgent than a steady indicator and can mean raw fuel entering the exhaust, ignition failure, or a turbo malfunction on the 2.4L turbocharged engine. Do not ignore a flashing light: drive cautiously and have Nalley Lexus Roswell inspect the vehicle immediately. Our factory-trained technicians use OEM scanners and diagnostic procedures to limit collateral damage, protect warranty coverage, and deliver cost savings by avoiding expensive secondary repairs like converter or turbo replacement.

2022 Lexus NX 350 Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes on a 2022 Lexus NX 350 include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean), P0300-series (misfires), P0299 (turbo underboost), and EVAP codes like P0455. Left unaddressed, lean conditions and misfires can ruin the catalytic converter, costing $1,000$2,500 or more; turbo issues can range from $1,200 to $4,000 for major repairs. Oxygen sensor replacements typically run $200$600, while small EVAP leaks may be inexpensive if fixed early. Prompt service at Nalley Lexus Roswell reduces these risks, and our pricing often undercuts independent shops while providing manufacturer-quality parts and warranty protection.
