Default Access System with Elec. Key malfunction

Sometimes I hate having a technologically advanced car
I received multiple error messages today. It comes on right after turning off the car. "Access System with Elec. Key Malfunction. See owners manual". Naturally the owners manual says see your Lexus dealer.
everything seems normal. Car starts, stops and locks with no issues. Has anyone else had this issue?
Wonder if it's worth just resetting with Techstream.

how old's the car? any warranty left? Could be the battery on the key fob needs to be replaced.

I would say swap out the battery on your key, even though the car would specifically tell you that it's low.

The car is only a month old and under warranty.
Both key fobs are replicating the same error, so I'm thinking it's something within the car.
My dealership is 200 miles away unfortunately
