2015 Lexus NX 300h Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes on a 2015 Lexus NX 300h include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), and P0171/P0174 (lean condition). Left untreated, each can lead to progressive failures: a P0420 can mean reduced fuel efficiency and costly catalytic converter replacement; misfires like P0300 risk damaged pistons and converters; lean conditions can overheat the engine and reduce performance. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, our factory-trained technicians use OEM diagnostic tools to isolate the problem and provide a clear cost-benefit analysis—often identifying less expensive corrective actions before major components are required. We emphasize immediate savings from accurate diagnostics and long-term savings through OEM parts and proper repairs, lowering the chance of repeated visits. Any warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid, and our advisors will confirm coverage.

2015 Lexus NX 300h Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2015 Lexus NX 300h may be as simple as clearing stored codes, but that does not fix the underlying cause. Our recommendation at Park Place Lexus Plano is to diagnose and repair before resetting so issues don’t recur and your vehicle remains protected. Dealer-performed resets come with a full diagnostic report, OEM parts, and technician documentation that preserves warranty integrity and resale value. We prioritize transparency—explaining necessary repairs, possible alternatives, and long-term benefits—so you see both immediate savings and reduced lifetime costs. We also offer service financing and frequent service specials to make necessary repairs more affordable. Independent tools can clear a light, but only a certified dealer can confirm that a repair was performed correctly and keep warranty protections intact. To ensure correct repair and a documented reset, schedule service with Park Place Lexus today.
