Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2020 Lexus NX 300 is a signal of a potentially serious condition—often indicating a misfire that can damage the catalytic converter if driven hard. In Grapevine, TX, Park Place Lexus Grapevine recommends stopping driving when it’s safe and getting the vehicle inspected immediately. Our service team performs a prioritized assessment that includes code reading, compression checks, ignition and fuel system tests, and an inspection of emissions components. We explain findings in plain language and present options with transparent pricing and recommended next steps to protect your engine and long-term value. Financing is available to start repairs now and pay over time. Take advantage of our rotating service specials for added savings.

2020 Lexus NX 300 Check Engine Light Codes

At Park Place Lexus Grapevine, we frequently diagnose common fault codes on the 2020 Lexus NX 300 such as P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean), P0300-P0304 (misfires), and P0135 (oxygen sensor heater fault). Left unaddressed, these codes can escalate: catalytic converter problems can lead to four-figure repairs, misfires can reduce fuel economy and damage internals, and persistent sensor issues shorten component life and increase emissions. Our certified technicians use OEM replacement parts and dealer-grade scanners to pinpoint root causes—rather than guessing—to reduce repeat visits and lower lifetime service costs. We provide clear estimates, honor warranty requirements, and explain how timely diagnostics pay off with immediate savings on fuel and avoided major repairs. For convenience, you can schedule service online and check current service specials to reduce out-of-pocket expense.

Resetting the check engine light on a 2020 Lexus NX 300 without addressing the underlying fault is a temporary action that may mask recurring problems and can cause warranty disputes.

Choosing dealer service ensures accurate diagnostics, genuine parts, and factory-trained staff who preserve vehicle value. We also offer service financing, transparent pricing, and periodic service specials. To protect your vehicle and warranty, schedule service with Park Place Lexus Grapevine.
