Default Tire Pressure Blinking

Hello!
I am facing an issue with my 2004 RX330. After driving for nearly an hour, the tire pressure light starts blinking on the dash and some other lights come together (BRAKE, ABS, VSC, Trac off). Then if I stop the engine and restart, all those lights go off and I can drive again for nearly an hour without those warning lights. This cycle repeats and not always do those lights come exactly after driving one hour, sometimes they come once a day. I have checked the tire pressure, which is alright. The tail red lights also glow without any issue when I press the brake paddle. Could anyone please guide me on how to solve this problem? Thank you so much.

Do you have tire pressure sensors? Check/replace them. They have a finite lifetime.

Happened to me a couple yrs ago......You'll have to go to a tire shop, aka Discount tires & have them figure out which ones need replacing...I ended up have 3 replaced & btw the spare has on as well. Check all the tire pressures making sure the lbs is up to what you have the set to tpms set to.

The '04 RX330 doesn't usually come with TPMS sensors.
They use the ABS Wheel Speed Sensors to detect a tire that is Under/Over Inflated.
When a tire is Over Inflated or Under Inflated, the tire diameter changes, and the Wheel Revolutions change, setting off the Warning Light.
You might want to have your ABS Wheel Speed Sensors checked.
