Inflating tires
My tire pressure indicator came on and I inflated them and this is now what is shows
LF 31
RF32
LR 32
RR 30
Now the RF and LR are now highlighted in red and when I started it was only the LR.
Anybody got any idea what I am doing wrong as I have been inflating tires for a very long time....this happened just after the 30,000 mile service but I dont think it included any tire rotation.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
As I recall there is a button under the dash, near the steering column. I have a 2007, your car may be different. Best to check your manual.

When rotating tires, you have to leave the ignition OFF to ensure that tire position information will be updated upon start. Here's the section from page 763.
"When rotating the tires: Make sure that the engine switch is off. If the tires are rotated while the engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode, the tire position information will not be updated. If this accidentally occurs, either turn the engine switch to off and then to IGNITION ON mode, or initialize the system after checking that the tire pressure is properly adjusted."
And, as recommended by everyone above, please reset the tire pressure warning system (TPMS) after adjusting the pressures. Consult pages 761 and 765 of the manual for details.

I have an 08. I find them to be relatively accurate. The only reason I have a general idea of which number goes with which tire, is I've had a leak. So for now I know which one that is. Then I put air in another one and saw the inflated number on the screen. So, I know two of them. Otherwise, I find them accurate, but no real way other than testing, to know which number goes with which tire.

Lexus recommends checking pressures regularly with a pressure gauge, and using the TPMS readings to ensure there are no leaks. I have found the readings to be quite accurate.

I just this morning added air to all 4 tires on the wife's 2014 using a tire pressure gauge and when completed the TPMS depicted a 1 or 2 lb range (which is accurate enough for a passenger car....).

I check both our cars monthly, easier with the TPMS readout on the LS as it lets me know when pressures are getting too low. I compare it to a handheld digital air pressure gauge and the LS numbers are spot on, give or take .5 PSI. My wife's tire pressures are pretty stable, probably due to the Nitrogen that Costco uses. I get my tires rotated at America's Tire and they use regular air and I lose 1 PSI per month.
