2020 Lexus LS 500 Check Engine Light Codes

At Park Place Lexus Grapevine in Grapevine, TX, the most common check engine codes for the 2020 Lexus LS 500 include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean), and P0455 (EVAP large leak). Each carries risks: ignoring a P0300 misfire can damage pistons and the catalytic converter, leading to repairs that can exceed several thousand dollars; untreated P0420 can require costly catalytic replacement; persistent EVAP faults can cause failed emissions tests and repeated service visits. Our factory-trained technicians use OEM-grade scanners to identify the exact code and the root cause, then provide transparent estimates and repair timelines. Choosing Park Place Lexus Grapevine helps you avoid unnecessary parts replacement, reduces repeat visits, and preserves vehicle longevity — delivering immediate savings and protecting long-term value.
