2016 Lexus RX 350 Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting a check engine light on a 2016 Lexus RX 350 sometimes clears a simple fault, but a reset alone won’t fix underlying problems. At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick in Frederick, CO, we recommend a full diagnostic before resetting the light so you don’t mask an issue that could lead to larger repairs or safety concerns. Our technicians use OEM-level scan tools and follow manufacturer procedures to ensure codes are interpreted correctly. If the issue is minor — like a loose fuel cap or transient sensor glitch — we’ll correct it and reset the system while documenting the repair, which protects your warranty and resale value. If a deeper fault exists, we’ll provide a clear, itemized estimate and explain immediate repairs versus monitored fixes, alongside any available service specials to reduce out-of-pocket cost. When you want trustworthy, transparent service that prioritizes long-term savings, schedule service with our certified team and benefit from OEM parts, factory-trained technicians, and the convenience of dealer warranties.

2016 Lexus RX 350 Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes on a 2016 Lexus RX 350 include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim/air-fuel mixture), P0130–P0167 (oxygen sensor circuits), and charging system codes tied to battery/alternator performance. Left unaddressed, a P0420 can lead to poor emissions performance and potential failure of emissions testing; P0171/P0174 can reduce fuel economy and increase deposit buildup; oxygen sensor faults let the engine run inefficiently, causing higher fuel costs and potential catalytic damage; charging system problems risk leaving you stranded with a dead battery. At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick we provide clear cost estimates and prioritize repairs that preserve vehicle longevity and value. Our certified technicians explain which repairs are urgent, which can be monitored, and how prompt service reduces lifecycle costs.
