Check Engine Light Flashing
The moment a check engine light is flashing in a 2021 Lexus RX 350L, treat it as urgent. A flashing indicator often points to engine misfires that can damage the catalytic converter and accelerate wear on ignition components. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine in Grapevine, TX, our factory-trained technicians will perform a prioritized inspection to protect your engine and emissions systems. We use Lexus OEM diagnostic tools to capture real-time data, identify misfires, and isolate affected cylinders or components. Acting quickly reduces the scope of repair and long-term expense; our dealership approach emphasizes fast, accurate fixes that return you to the road with confidence. We also combine repairs with available service specials where applicable, and offer service financing so you can secure immediate repairs and pay over time. To minimize risk, schedule service online or contact our service team for same-day options.
2021 Lexus RX 350L Check Engine Light Codes
Common check engine codes for a 2021 Lexus RX 350L include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300 to P0304 (misfires), P0171/P0174 (lean condition), P0455 (evap leak), and P0128 (coolant thermostat). Left unaddressed, each can grow costlier: a small evap leak can become a costly fuel system repair; untreated misfires risk a failed catalytic converter; sensor issues left too long reduce fuel economy and accelerate drivetrain wear.

We emphasize OEM parts, certified Lexus techs, and transparent diagnostics to avoid unnecessary replacements. Our service team will explain the cost trade-offs and long-term savings of correct repairs.
