DTC P1603-00: Engine Stall History [06/2018 - 08/2021]: Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2024 Lexus ES 350, 2023 Lexus ES 350, 2022 Lexus ES 350, 2021 Lexus ES 350, and 2020 Lexus ES 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

After starting the engine, this DTC is stored when the engine stops without the engine switch being operated.

Using the Techstream, the conditions present when the DTC was stored can be confirmed by referring to the freeze frame data. Freeze frame data records engine conditions when a malfunction occurs. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.

It is necessary to check if the vehicle has run out of fuel before performing troubleshooting, as this DTC is also stored when the engine stalls due to running out of fuel.
