Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light in a 2019 Lexus RC 300 is a serious warning: it typically indicates active misfires that could damage the catalytic converter or other emissions components if you continue driving. When the light flashes, you should stop driving as soon as it is safe and bring the vehicle in for immediate evaluation. At Herb Chambers Lexus of Sharon our factory-trained technicians prioritize flashing-light diagnostics and will perform a thorough inspection that includes code reading, compression and spark testing, fuel-system checks, and battery/charging diagnostics. Flashing codes can originate from ignition coils, spark plugs, fuel injectors, or even transient electrical faults tied to a low or failing battery. That’s why our battery services and replacements are integrated into the diagnostic workflow: a stable charging system often eliminates intermittent misfire codes. We provide transparent estimates, OEM parts, and options for service financing so you can get repairs done now and protect long-term value. Check our service specials and schedule service right away to avoid costly downstream damage and preserve your RC 300’s performance.
