2016 Lexus IS 350 Check Engine Light Codes
In Grapevine, TX, Park Place Lexus Grapevine frequently sees a set of recurring diagnostic codes on the 2016 Lexus IS 350. Typical codes include oxygen sensor faults (P0135/P0136), catalytic efficiency codes (P0420), random misfire codes (P0300–P0306), and evaporative emission leaks (P0440).
