Hey welcome! Nice GS430, very clean! Maybe the scanner that you used was not able to fully access the ecu. On ebay they sell cd's with special obd2 to usb adapter wire and the software is called "TIS Techstream" if you do a search on ebay for Toyota techstream you should be able to find them and there pretty cheap at $20-30.00

This is the same software that dealerships use, with this software and a laptop you can find fault codes that regular scanners are not able to pick up. Or you can take the car to the dealer and pay for 1 hours worth of diagnostics.

Your TPMS is probably going bad and might need replacing. I have the same issue but waiting to replace tires to change the sensors.

I replace the TPMS for new ones and change the batteries on the old ones as seen on you tube, but none of these works. Thanks
