Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2016 Lexus NX 300h is an urgent warning.

At Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX our technicians prioritize flashing alerts: we inspect ignition components, fuel delivery, and sensors immediately to prevent further damage. Because catalytic converter and exhaust repairs are expensive, addressing a flashing light promptly delivers significant immediate and long-term savings by avoiding major downstream replacements.

2016 Lexus NX 300h Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Lexus NX 300h without resolving the underlying issue is a temporary fix that can mask problems and risk costly failures later. At Park Place Lexus, we recommend a complete diagnostic before any reset: our scans reveal stored trouble codes, pending issues, and intermittent faults so the correct repair is made the first time. Using OEM parts and factory calibration, our technicians restore systems to Lexus specifications and then reset the code, ensuring the light stays off for the right reason. This transparent approach often reduces long-term service costs versus piecemeal fixes; it protects warranties and supports resale value. Repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid, and we make financing available so necessary repairs aren’t delayed. For clarity and convenience, take advantage of our online booking to schedule appointment and check seasonal service specials to save on routine maintenance that prevents future engine light events.
