Check Engine Light Flashing

The moment your check engine light starts flashing in a 2020 Lexus LC 500, treat it as urgent. A flashing light frequently signals an active misfire, which can allow unburned fuel to enter the exhaust and damage the catalytic converter — a repair that can be costly if delayed. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX, our certified technicians prioritize flashing-light diagnostics and will secure your vehicle, perform a rapid code read, and isolate the root cause using OEM-grade tools. We combine speed with transparency: you’ll receive a clear estimate before any work begins, and we’ll explain both immediate and long-term savings from addressing the issue promptly. We maintain a full inventory of OEM components and offer service financing to get you back on the road now and spread the cost over time. Check our current service specials and then schedule service online for quick, trusted repairs — the sooner you act, the lower the total cost and the better the outcome for your LC 500.

2020 Lexus LC 500 Check Engine Light Codes

Common diagnostic trouble codes for a 2020 Lexus LC 500 include P0135/P0136 (oxygen sensor heater circuit), P0300 series (misfires), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), and P0440 (evaporative system leak). Each code carries a range of potential fixes and associated costs if left unattended: a failed oxygen sensor can reduce fuel economy and damage the catalytic converter; misfires may lead to engine knocks and exhaust harm; EVAP leaks increase emissions and can fail inspections. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, our factory-trained technicians interpret codes to find the underlying issue — not just replace the first suspected part. That accuracy reduces repeated repairs and delivers measurable long-term savings compared with guesswork. We use OEM parts, uphold warranty standards (repairs under warranty must be completed at certified dealerships), and provide transparent estimates before work begins. For convenience, we offer express service lanes, comfortable customer amenities, and flexible payment including service financing.
