2026 Lexus NX Check Engine Light Reset

When the check engine light appears on your 2026 Lexus NX, a reset may seem like a quick fix, but it’s only the last step after proper diagnosis. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine in Grapevine, TX, our technicians first run OEM-level diagnostics to read stored trouble codes and confirm that underlying faults are resolved before a reset. Resetting the light without addressing the cause can mask issues and lead to more serious—and more expensive—repairs later. Our process is transparent: we provide a clear estimate, describe recommended OEM parts, and explain immediate and long-term savings compared with patch repairs. Warranty work must be performed at a certified dealer to preserve coverage, and our team will identify any warranty-eligible items. Take advantage of our current service specials and, when ready, schedule service online for a professional reset and comprehensive inspection.
