If the issue is minor—such as a cleared pending code after a fix or a loose gas cap—we’ll explain why a reset is appropriate and perform it, documenting the cause and the steps taken. If codes point to a repair, we’ll provide a transparent estimate and recommend OEM parts and factory procedures that protect your vehicle’s longevity and resale value.

2010 Lexus GS 350 Check Engine Light Codes
Common codes for the 2010 Lexus GS 350 include P0420 (catalyst system low efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean), P0300-series (misfires), P0135 (oxygen sensor heater), and evaporative system codes like P0442 or P0455. Left unresolved, these faults can raise fuel costs, increase emissions, and in serious cases—like persistent misfires—damage the catalytic converter or engine internals. For example, untreated misfires may lead to a catalytic converter replacement that can exceed $1,000, while an oxygen sensor replacement with OEM parts is typically far less and restores efficiency. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine our technicians explain the real cost of delaying repairs and provide a clear comparison of immediate repair costs versus long-term expenses caused by neglect.
