2016 Lexus NX 200t Check Engine Light Codes
Common codes on a 2016 Lexus NX 200t include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean), and misfire codes like P0300 series. Left unaddressed, P0420 can lead to reduced fuel economy and eventual catalytic converter failure — a repair that can be costly compared with early correction. Lean codes often point to vacuum leaks or failing sensors; delaying repair leads to poor drivability and higher fuel costs. Misfires damage the catalyst and risk further engine harm. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX, our certified technicians diagnose the precise cause, provide transparent estimates, and install OEM parts that reduce the chance of repeat faults. Choosing dealer service often means lower total cost of ownership due to accurate diagnostics, warranty protection, and quality parts that last.
