We use genuine Lexus parts and factory procedures to ensure the reset reflects a true repair—not a temporary fix.

We also offer loyalty incentives and service financing so you can choose repairs that protect long-term value.

2017 Lexus IS 200t Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine codes for the 2017 Lexus IS 200t include misfire (P0300-series), oxygen sensor faults (P0130-series), and EVAP system leaks (P0440-series). Misfires can cause rough running, poor fuel economy, and catalytic converter damage—left unchecked they result in higher repair costs and potential emissions failures. Oxygen sensor issues reduce efficiency and performance and, if ignored, can accelerate downstream component wear. EVAP leaks often start small but lead to recurring emissions warnings and failed state inspections. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX, we combine local convenience with factory-trained technicians, clear pricing, and a focus on immediate and lifetime savings by fixing root causes rather than masking symptoms. Our team documents findings, recommends OEM parts when needed, and explains warranty implications—repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership.
