Default Tire air pressure light flashing

I was driving this morning and all of a sudden i see the tire pressure light flashing. I have 42PSI in my tires and it drives great. I pulled over to make sure and the tires all look normal. What does the flashing mean and how can i fix it with out going to the dealer.

thanks

Check the pressure in your spare - this is the most likely culprit. If the spare is Ok too, then you may have to take it to the dealer.

The light is flashing it isnt on sold, does that also mean low pressure??? I hit the button on the lower right hand side of the panel by your knee area and it turns off. Not sure exactly what that switch does. Will be reading the manual more in detail tonight.

The swith that you hit is for reseting tire presure. This switch is for, if you have two sets of tires. For examples one set is winter and one summer. It click in and out.

From 2006 Owner's Manual.

Page 61:
If the warning light blinks, the tire pressure warning system
may be malfunctioning. Contact your Lexus dealer.
