Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing in a 2013 Lexus LS 460 is an urgent indicator of misfire or severe emissions/fuel-delivery problems that can damage the catalytic converter and other components if driven long. When the light flashes, stop driving as soon as it’s safe and have the vehicle inspected. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine our certified technicians perform priority diagnostics that include live data capture, cylinder balance testing, and fuel/ignition system checks. We communicate findings clearly, provide OEM replacement parts, and outline short- and long-term cost benefits of prompt repair—often less costly than deferred fixes when factoring in fuel economy and component life. We also highlight current service specials and payment options; service financing lets you repair now and pay over time. If you see a flashing check engine light, contact our service team or schedule service online for same-day evaluation and priority handling to protect your LS 460’s performance and durability.

2013 Lexus LS 460 Check Engine Light Codes

Common diagnostic trouble codes for a 2013 Lexus LS 460 include P0300 series misfires, P0420 catalytic efficiency, P0130–P0167 oxygen sensor issues, and P0171/P0174 fuel trim faults. Each code carries potential costs—left unaddressed, a cylinder misfire can ruin the catalytic converter (thousands in repairs), oxygen sensor failures reduce fuel economy and emissions compliance, and fuel-trim errors can cause drivability problems and higher fuel bills. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine we prioritize accurate code interpretation, pinpointing root causes rather than treating symptoms. Our approach reduces repeat repairs and preserves the LS 460’s refinement and V8 performance. We combine OEM parts, Lexus-trained technicians, and a transparent estimate before any work so you understand immediate costs and lifetime savings.
