Try steps 3-5. Check your spare!

At my local costco they will use a scan tool and tell you which if any tpms sensor is not sending a signal, thus broken. takes like a few minutes. but it is a possibility one or more of your sensors have gone bad

Yeah tried all that but wasn't able to reset the sensors. Yeah looks like I have few bad sensors is it easy to order them online and replace or is it a pain the back process.

They're like $40 a piece. Is it worth that to you to have the light off?

The batteries in them die and they no longer work. There are youtubes that show you how to replace the battery but it just isn't worth it to me. I'm pretty uptight about keeping things operational in my cars but this just isn't one of them. Hell I scoured junkyards finding all the dash pieces for my 72 F100 just so there were no empty holes in the dash. The TPMS light has been on in my daughter's 2007 Prius for at least 5 years and it just isn't worth it to me to fix it. That's the one light I can deal with.

Go to any reputable tire shop and they can check and replace and reset the TPMS system.

Yes, and if you count the spare then that's easily $200, which is enough for an entirely new tire!
Not worth it, I check my tire pressures every few weeks, especially now the weather is getting colder, always more reliable.

If the light blinks 10 times after you start the engine then one or more tire sensors are bad, and most likely the battery is gone. I would not recommend you to replace the battery but you can get 4 OEM sensors from Aliexpress like I did and you can reprogram them via Techstream (if you don't have Techstream you can get it from Ali). Everything would be around $60.

I did a search on Aliexpress for "2011 lexus es 350 tpms" and got

"Sorry, your search "lexus es 350 tpms" did not match any products. Please try again."How would you do the search?

Costco will replace 4 TPMS sensors for about $240, of course doing the spare will increase this price. I had it done on my HS250h. Make an appointment and they can check inventory to be sure they have your sensors in stock. This includes removing the tires then remounting and balancing them afterward. Costco does do a Nitrogen fill for what that is worth.
It was the best price I found for this service as it is almost impossible to remove and remount tires by yourself.
