2023 Lexus RX 500h Check Engine Light Codes

In Grapevine, TX, drivers bring a variety of check engine codes for the 2023 Lexus RX 500h. Common codes we see include misfire codes (P0300 series), oxygen sensor failures (P0135), catalytic converter efficiency codes (P0420), fuel trim or lean condition codes (P0171), and EVAP leak codes (P0442). Each code points to specific risks and costs when ignored: misfires can damage pistons and catalytic converters quickly, driving repair costs into the thousands; an inefficient catalytic converter reduces performance and may require expensive replacement; failed O2 sensors and EVAP leaks reduce fuel economy and emissions compliance.
