A flashing check engine light on a 2023 Lexus RX 500h often signals an active misfire or a condition that can damage the catalytic converter if driven.

We begin with OEM-level scans and live-data analysis to isolate ignition, fuel, or battery-related faults, then provide a transparent plan and estimate.
