How often will I need Lexus RC F differential service?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your RC F’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the RC F malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your RC F’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my RC F serious?

Does my RC F drivetrain include the transmission?
