What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?
- Start with an easy check: ensure the gas cap is tight and undamaged — a loose cap commonly triggers EVAP codes.
- Note any performance changes (rough idle, hesitation, loss of power) and whether the light is steady or flashing.
- If the light is flashing, stop driving when safe and have the vehicle inspected immediately to avoid further damage.
- Schedule a diagnostic at Nalley Lexus Roswell so factory tools and technicians can confirm the cause and preserve warranty eligibility.
What is the most common reason for check engine light on a 2023 Lexus LS 500h?
- Common causes include loose gas caps, oxygen sensor degradation, ignition misfires, EVAP leaks, and catalytic converter issues.
- Oxygen sensors and EVAP system faults often appear first as emissions-related codes and can reduce fuel economy if left untreated.
- Misfires are serious because they can damage the catalytic converter quickly; timely repair avoids costly downstream replacements.
- Nalley Lexus Roswell diagnoses with factory equipment so you get accurate fixes that protect long-term vehicle value and warranty coverage.
How long does a check engine light service take?
- A basic code scan and initial assessment usually takes 30–60 minutes; a full diagnostic can take 1–3 hours depending on symptoms and required tests.
- Simple repairs (gas cap, sensor swaps) may be completed the same day; complex repairs that require parts can take longer.
- Our dealership’s access to OEM parts and factory-trained technicians often shortens turnaround and reduces total ownership cost compared with repeated independent attempts.
- For warranty repairs, service must be performed at a certified dealership; schedule online or visit our service specials to arrange prompt attention.

2023 Lexus LS 500h Check Engine Light Codes
Common check engine codes on a 2023 Lexus LS 500h include P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0420 (catalyst efficiency below threshold), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean/rich), P0455/P0456 (EVAP leaks), and oxygen sensor faults (P0135). Left unaddressed, misfires can damage cylinder walls and catalytic converters, escalating repair costs from modest ignition repairs ($100–$600) to catalytic replacement ($1,000–$3,000+). EVAP leaks often stem from a loose or faulty gas cap but can lead to failed emissions tests and fines. Oxygen sensor failures reduce fuel economy and increase emissions, costing more in fuel over time. Nalley Lexus Roswell diagnoses codes with factory tools and explains immediate and long-term savings; warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to stay covered.
