I checked this as well, and now the light is back off again... And the position it is in now, is the "Main" position that the owners manual says it should be, from the factory... So, the question remains, how did it get changed? I was driving along down a dirt road when the light came on... I never touched the button, nor was anyone else in the car... yet, somehow, the button became depressed... 
I can't imagine I hit it with my knee or something like that... Oh well, no more flashing, that's the main thing!

William, that means your really are running your tires too low for the temp.
In cold, tire air pressure goes down.
I think the system triggers at 27 or 28 psi. With your tires cold, cold (meaning haven't driven, and the ambient temp around your tires is as cold as what you drive in) you should check and set the tire pressure.
Of course, if after that you immediately drove to South FL, then you would probably have to let some out.

May be this w'll help to solve your peoblem. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=127079. Merry Christmas
So, here's my question .... what is the purpose of that switch? If I hit it and that stops the light from blinking, why would we ever turn it on in the first place? In what situation would we ever want that light to be blinking all the time? (Does that make sense?)

My light started blinking about half an hour into our roadtrip last Thursday. DH inflated the tires to the proper pressure, but the light kept blinking. I searched the boards today and found the thread about the switch underneath the steering column. I hit the button and it stopped blinking.

If you have a snow set or summer set, you can register them with the 2nd position of the button. I might be wrong on this, so someone correct me if I am.
