Well it seems that you have a tire pressure light on and the check engine light (the two important ones, also the traction control light on as well (could be associated with the low tire pressure light but I'm not sure as my low pressure light never triggers this light in tandem).

Other members can chime in better than what I can just briefly analyze.

if your 2is has a rough idle, it's in "limp home" mode (or "limp to your nearest authorized lexus service center" mode).

it would be more useful if you told us what you were doing w/ your 2is before it went into "limp home" mode (i.e. were you driving? were you working on it?)

its a safety in the system to ensure the engine doesnt hurt itself.

Yes, take it directly to the dealership to clear the issue and see what really happened per the ECU.

If the car can be driven, drive to the nearest auto parts store and ask for their help to scan your car for the error codes.

That just happened to me but, but I didn't get the tire pressure indicator all I did was unplug the battery negative for 5 minutes and cleared the lights. I'm not sure if it will come back on, but it was a quick fix.

Wonder if the check system showing the tire means that the tire monitor is not functioning. If the tire monitor is not working I would think it would throw the above CELs to make sure you go to the dealer to get the tire monitor fixed.

My is used to randomly do that. The dealer told me that if the check engine light comes on it will shut off the vsc,traction control and some other stuff. They would reset it with a code scanner and it was good. When its cold or i start my car with the wheels turned all the way to one side it will throw a code. At autopart store will pull whatever code and keep track to see what it is. if it comes back right away then you have an issue
