Anyone Else's TPMS light go on for a few seconds while driving and then go off?
This happens to my 2009 RX about every once a week. Been happening for over a year. Never throws a code.
All 5 of my tires' PSI are good.
I have an RX330 so I don't have them so I'm not much help.
But looking at the problems other members have with them sometimes I'm kinda glad I don't have to mess with them...
You may have a sensor where the battery is becoming borderline. I don't know if there is any way to detect the signal strength of the sensor transmitter. I know that the tire shop detector tool "reads" the sensor RF signal, but whether the tool can determine signal strength is not known by me.

I just checked my records and I ended up replacing one of the sensors 8 weeks after I made this thread. The Sensor was intermittent faulty, perhaps the battery.
If the light is immediately solid the threshhold is probably set too low. Double check the pressure in all tires and press the reset button. There is always a chance another one is going out or the quality of the new one is bad but if the system loses communication with At least one sensor the light flashes before going solid.
