Tire pressure light came on filled all tires including spare to 35 psi light still blinking, has anyone had this issue? Has anyone tried to disconnect battery to reset light, or is a trip to the dealership my only option.
Thanks

You could phone the dealer and ask to speak with the service dept.
They may be willing to share a trick or two to rule out the sensor in one of your wheels being faulty.
Try first, the worst that'll happen is they ask you to bring the car in to be checked (they may charge for it), which you can put on the back burner until Google or someone else chimes in with something to try.

Have you tried bumping up the pressure to 40? TPMS sensors are not built to SPEC of your tire, but programmed to whatever psi was set on it previously. If your vehicle is 2nd hand, it might of had a higher psi setting than nominal, so try bumping it up to 40psi and see if it goes away! I know i have 35 or so all around (not comfortable as 32, but it gets the job done).

If it is a dead battery, before buying a new sensor, you can try to replace the battery. Take a look at the post #6 here.

Mine started blinking all of the sudden today as well, all my tires have the proper level of air. It might be a TPMS battery but what is this button people are referring to under the steering wheel that may have accidentally been pushed? What is it labeled etc so I can check to see if I may have inadvertently pushed it with my knee or something first before I go to Discount Tire. The TPMS sensors they install at Discount will work with our factory system I am assuming, I have a 07 GX 470 or do I need to go online and order Denso TPMS sensers? Thanks in advance!

Discount tire sensors will work. 60 bucks installed and reset to system. They will check all your sensors to make sure they are working, or to find the defective ones, no charge for this.

my car had that issue once,
the TPMS battery only last like 7-10 years or 100k miles before they need to replace completely, not expensive around $50-60 any tire shop can do it and program it for you
