Angry tire pressure monitor

My light went on last weekend and has been blinking ever since. Immediately after I noticed I drove to a service station and after checking my tires they informed me they were a little low. He filled them up but the light continues to blink. I found the button someone mentioned in another post but that does not work either. I am annoyed, but unfortunately with my work hours I don't know how soon I can get into the Lexus dealership to have them address the issue. All I know is, I requested they switch the tires to Michelins and someone pointed out to me in another thread, make sure they switch just the tires, not the wheels. I am guessing they switched the wheels, and they need to be reprogrammed to my car's monitor system. Has anyone had any similiar problems?

I am the new owner of an `04 GX. I also own an SC430 and I had this experience with the coupe when I switched the run-flats for Michelin Pilots. The problem was solved for me when the dealership recalibrated the sensors in the wheels. It took about 20 minutes.

The same thing happened to me. The dealer changed the wheels with the tires but did not re-program the sensors to the computer. Once they do that for all 5 wheels, the light will stop blinking. Good luck!

Question Does the 03's have tire sensors?

2003 models did not have tire air pressure sensors. Guess we don't have to worry about this one, other than looking at the tires once in a while.

Keep in mind, that many procedures can be performed at your place of business or in your driveway at home. Worst case scenario, they will come and pick up the vehicle, take it and fix it and then deliver it back to you! If you MUST bring it in, they will give you a loaner...

Default Spare tire is the cause

Mine was doing the same thing now when my light comes on I pump up all four tires plus the spare and the light goes away for three months at a time.
