mine has done this twice now. Car only has 36,000 miles. First time, shutdown/restart cleared it. Second time, restart took it out of limp mode but CEL still lit (solid now vs flashing).
Car battery appears strong, starts without any struggle, even when turning on heated seats (with engine off) for 15 mins.

Any ideas? I’ll get it scanned shortly.

I should add that I just bought this car and changed the oil and transmission fluid (pretty sure I did the tranny right) and the first time it happened was about 300 miles after servicing the oil and tranny.

is this kind of misfiring normal for a car that got such a low mileage? It’s 2015 IS250, 36,000 miles.
