Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on a 2016 Lexus ES 350 is an urgent signal that a misfire or severe engine issue may be occurring.

When you bring your vehicle to us you receive a documented diagnosis, a clear estimate, and options that balance repair urgency and cost-effectiveness.

2016 Lexus ES 350 Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Lexus ES 350 is simple, but resetting without resolving the underlying fault can mask symptoms and invite bigger problems. Our technicians at Park Place Lexus Grapevine always diagnose before any reset, ensuring the issue is repaired correctly and documented. We use genuine Lexus parts and adhere to factory procedures, which preserves warranties and long-term reliability. When we clear codes we also check for pending codes, freeze-frame data, and running conditions to ensure no hidden faults remain. Choosing our dealership for resets and repairs often costs less than independent shops when you factor in accurate diagnostics, warranty protection, and the longevity of OEM components — delivering immediate savings and reducing future repair frequency. You can review current offers on our service specials, and we make it easy to schedule service online.

2016 Lexus ES 350 Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for the 2016 Lexus ES 350 include oxygen sensor faults (P0130–P0167), catalytic converter efficiency codes (P0420), misfire codes (P0300–P0312), and EVAP system faults (P0440–P0455). Each code has cost implications if left untreated: an oxygen sensor left bad reduces fuel economy and can damage the catalytic converter, evolving into a repair that often exceeds the initial sensor cost; a misfire can damage pistons or the catalytic converter quickly, ballooning repair bills; EVAP leaks can fail emissions tests and lead to fines or failed inspections. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine we explain these risks clearly, provide accurate, upfront estimates, and present repair options that emphasize long-term savings and reliability using OEM parts and certified technicians. We also highlight convenience — shuttle service, comfortable customer lounge, and fast turnarounds — and offer service specials and financing to help manage cost.
