2023 Lexus IS 300 Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2023 Lexus IS 300 include oxygen sensor (O2) faults, catalytic converter codes, misfire (cylinder-specific) codes, and mass airflow sensor faults. Each has a cost-of-delay: an O2 sensor left unrepaired reduces fuel economy and can increase emissions-related repairs; a failing catalytic converter can become damaged by untreated misfires and requires expensive replacement; misfires risk piston and exhaust damage if ignored; airflow or fuel system faults degrade drivability and MPG. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine we diagnose and prioritize repairs to limit cost and downtime. Our service center in Grapevine, TX uses Lexus-approved tools and genuine parts so repairs meet factory standards and protect long-term value. We provide transparent estimates that make immediate and future savings clear: a timely sensor replacement prevents converter failure, and proper ignition service avoids engine damage.
