Question 2 problems '04 LS430

I can't find the paint color code ...is it somewhere other than the door column?
I also have a "LOW TIRE" warning..Pressures are correct. There is no reset under the steering column. The only resets are the ODO /trip on the dash and the Mileage/Temp on the steering wheel.
Am I Blind???

thanks
Admiral

There should be a reset under the steering wheel column, haven't fumbled exactly where.
I'll have to check the manual to find it out for myself also

Here's an example of where the color code looks like (a car from ebay). This one is a blue exterior, tan interior.

Left is color code, right is interior trim:

The low tire preassure warning reset button is located near the driver's right knee. I had to lay down with a flashlight to see it, but it's located near the little light that provides a soft glow to your car's floor-mats at night.

LSorBS is right on... just realize you have to go under the dash and not on the dash or the column. If you follow the gas pedal up from the floor with a flashlight you will run into it. You typically have to start the car, keep it in neutral then push and hold the button until it resets. It is also my understanding that there aren't any TPMS on the wheels it just senses tire pressure by the level of the tires. So I would make sure that all the tires are properly inflated before I reset the button so that you don't get a false reading. Good luck!

You may also consider taking the air out of your tires and replacing it with nitrogen. Much more accurate.
