In Grapevine, TX, Park Place Lexus Grapevine recommends that drivers stop driving when the light is flashing and bring the vehicle in promptly — continued operation can escalate repair costs and jeopardize safety. Our certified Lexus technicians use factory diagnostic tools to capture live data and pinpoint the cylinder or system at fault.
