2010 Lexus GS 450h Check Engine Light Codes
Some of the most common check engine light codes for the 2010 Lexus GS 450h include misfire (P0300–P0306), oxygen sensor faults (P0130–P0167), catalytic converter efficiency (P0420), and mass air flow or manifold-related codes (P0100–P0199).

Our Lexus-certified techs use OEM parts to ensure proper fit and longevity, reducing the chance of repeat failures.
