TPMS Flashing
Now that I'm sitting here re-reading my response, I have realized that I have been kind of rambling so i will leave it at that. Hope this helps and let me know how it goes
Here's an update. I finally made time to stop at another tire shop, Discount Tire. I've used this location before and they do good work.
What they did is let air out of each tire while holding the scanner to the valve stem. When the pressure got low enough, they sent a signal. Passenger front, no signal. Driver rear, weak signal. Others OK, for now. The kicker is that the light stopped flashing. I've driven about 10 miles now. If it comes back on, I'll post back. Still undecided whether to trade it for a 2013 GX or Sequoia, but now would be the time.

Denso is the factory supplier for the TPMS sensors in your GX:
Rockauto has them for $33 also.
You need someone with Toyota/Lexus Techstream software to register the new sensor. I just replaced the one in my Prius myself after the wife drove on a flat tire and ruined the sensor. Hardest part was breaking the bead to slip the new sensor in.
