IS 250 F Tire Pressure and Oil Indicator
I bought a new IS 250 F-sport 2 weeks ago and the tire indicator drives me crazy. The low tire pressure light on twice in a week. I added up to 36pis (Recommended Pressure) and all tires went down after a few days. I went back to Lexus today for tire pressure. Every tire is okay but tire pressure is low only. Anyone has the same problem as me? Btw, my gas indicator did not rise up after I filled gas. The indicator started to rise up after I drove about 2 miles. Is that normal for a new car???? I need helps from you guys!!!

I think I've read other users saying their fuel gauge would rise up slowly after filling. I haven't had that particular problem.
Can you clarify? You went to Lexus and the tires are OK but the INDICATOR is saying they are low? When you refilled did you use air or nitrogen?

The gas I don't think is a big issue but worth mentioning to the dealership. Have you manually checked your tire pressure with a gauge? If you top it up with air and the ACTUAL pressure goes down then it's an issue with the tire or maybe your rim is damaged....if you topped up the air and the ACTUAL pressure is fine but the TPMS is going off then it's a sensor issue. Either way the dealership can help.

Today I went to Lexus and the dealership checked all the tires. There is no problem about the tires but my tire indicator shows the pressure decreases a bit after a few days.

Ya man sounds like they need to recalibrate it. Even with nitrogen filled tires the pressure will still fluctuate based on outside temp and tire temp...but the system is designed so that under normal conditions the TPMS warning shouldn't go off. I think mine are 35-36 cold and 40-41 after driving...outdoor temp has fluctuated from -5 to +25 Celsius (like it always does in Canada) and I've had no issues with my TPMS. You're in Cali so outside temp should have nothing to do with this...
