Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light signals an active misfire or condition that can damage the catalytic converter — it’s a situation that requires immediate attention for safety and to prevent costly downstream repairs. At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick our technicians prioritize flashing-alert vehicles and begin with a full diagnostic scan and battery/charging inspection to isolate root causes.

Because the 2021 Lexus RC F is a high-performance vehicle, we follow OEM procedures and use genuine Lexus parts to restore performance and protect emissions components. We also review service financing options and applicable service specials so you can get critical repairs promptly without delay.
