Check Engine Light Flashing

When your 2017 Lexus IS 350 shows a flashing check engine light, it can indicate a severe misfire or condition that risks catalytic converter damage. A flashing light is an urgent call for diagnostics and immediate attention. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine our factory-trained technicians use Lexus-specific diagnostic tools to isolate ignition faults, fuel delivery issues, or sensor failures that cause misfires. Addressing problems promptly prevents secondary damage, saves you money on costly downstream repairs, and preserves vehicle safety. We explain the issue, provide transparent estimates, and use OEM parts to restore performance. Browse our service specials and take advantage of service financing to get repairs started without delay.

2017 Lexus IS 350 Check Engine Light Codes

Common diagnostic trouble codes for the 2017 Lexus IS 350 include oxygen sensor (P0130–P0167) faults, catalytic converter efficiency (P0420), and misfire codes (P0300–P0312). Each code points to issues with emissions, ignition, or fuel systems—unaddressed, these lead to reduced MPG, increased emissions, and expensive component failures. For example, a failing O2 sensor left unrepaired can cause poor fuel economy and damage to the catalytic converter; replacing an O2 sensor promptly is far less costly than converting a failed catalytic system. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine we prioritize correct diagnosis and long-term savings: our technicians identify the root cause, use OEM parts, and warranty work done at the dealership. That means clearer costs upfront, better resale value, and fewer repeat visits. To protect your investment and take advantage of transparent service, schedule appointment and ask about current service specials.
