Default Low tire display

I have a 2005 LS430. I recently had new tires installed. The low tire warning light has repeatedly come on. I bought the tires from American Tire. Each time I took it back they checked the pressure (all the same), then took out all the air and then reaired them . In less than 100 miles, the low tire warning light came on. The manager told me that my Lexus does not have individual tire sensors -- that it is triggered by the tire rotation????
Anybody else had this problem? At least I learned how to reset that light so I do not need to take it back to them. The manager said there is nothing else he can do. Lexus at Palm Springs stated this is not covered by my warranity because they did not replace the tires.

You have to "Initialize" the TPMS, not just "Reset" it. See owners manual (I forget the procedure offhand).

OK Walt. The last 2 times I reset I did not see the "Initialize" displayed. I did see it in the owners manual. Right now the light has been off for several days but I'll play with it next time it comes up.

Thanks

Don
