2020 Lexus RX 350 Check Engine Light Codes

The most common check engine light codes for a 2020 Lexus RX 350 include oxygen sensor faults (P013x), catalytic converter efficiency codes (P0420), misfire codes (P030x), and EVAP system leaks (P044x). In Plano, Park Place Lexus technicians interpret these codes in context—combining live data and physical inspection—to determine whether the issue is a faulty sensor, an exhaust leak, a worn catalyst, or an ignition system problem.
