2019 Lexus NX 300 Check Engine Light Reset

Our certified Lexus technicians use OEM tools that read pending and historical codes, verify repairs, and confirm systems are functioning before clearing codes — protecting your vehicle and warranty. We offer clear, itemized estimates and often deliver better overall value than independent shops because we prioritize correct parts, factory procedures, and long-term reliability.

Common check engine light codes for a 2019 Lexus NX 300 include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300–P0304 (misfires), and P0171/P0172 (fuel trim issues).
