Typical codes we see on the 2023 Lexus LS 500h include P0442 (EVAP small leak), P0171/P0174 (system too lean), P0420 (catalyst efficiency below threshold), P0101 (MAF performance), and P0300/P030X (random/specific cylinder misfire). Each code identifies a system, but root causes vary—smoke testing may find a cracked EVAP hose, while fuel trim analysis can confirm an intake leak or sensor drift.
