Make sure all your tires have enough psi, and that includes the spare tire in the back of ur car. I got the same problem recently.

Almost every time it was the spare tire low on air. I finally got smart and filled the spare to 40-psi. Problem solved.

Spare was our problem too. Dealer said when weather changed to cold they were getting over 15 vehicles a day where they just filled the spare a little.

I have a system failure so I would like to disable it if someone knows how. I'm beginning to think it can't be done. TIA

Did you reset the TPMS system? That will usually fix the problem. The procedure is in the Lexus RX Manual.

I thought I had this problem fixed after I put more air into the spare, but I still have the warning light on. Any suggestions?

As above, reset the TPMS system.

Finally got rid of the annoying warning light by reseting TPMS. Thanks all!
