  • We highlight available service specials and warranty options so repairs are affordable and covered when applicable.

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

2016 Lexus RC F Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Lexus RC F may seem simple, but a true reset begins with a proper diagnosis. A cleared code without repair can mask recurring faults, lead to poor fuel economy, and risk damage to emissions components. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine our technicians use Lexus factory-level scanners and OEM procedures to interpret codes, test sensors, and perform targeted repairs rather than a temporary reset. This protects your engine, maintains warranty compliance, and preserves resale value. We provide clear estimates, use genuine Lexus parts, and document all work so you know exactly what was done and why. If you want to prioritize convenience, you can schedule service online and review our current service specials. We also offer service financing so necessary repairs don’t have to wait — get the job done right today and save on future maintenance.

At Park Place Lexus Grapevine in Grapevine, TX, our certified technicians identify the exact trouble codes and explain the implications clearly — immediate repair preserves performance and saves you money over time by preventing cascading failures. We prioritize transparency, use OEM parts, and back repairs with dealer warranties; remember warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid.
