Interesting...they say football is a game of inches, I guess wheel balancing and TPMS is a game of millimeters...better yet nanometers!

...I have a cousin that drives an 02' IS....she had an issue with loosing some air from tires/rims and lexus determined it was from the chrome peeling off the factory wheels. They replaced all the factory rims for free !!!

Yeah, so basically just one sensor is shot and the others are doing their job. I don't even know how to go about finding out or fixing it... though I would like to.

If one has gone "bad" the easiest way to tell is go to your local Lexus dealer...they can use their scantool to determine which sensor has gone bad.
